MISSGUIDED Skirt | ASOS Tee | OFFICE Heels | ZARA Jacket (Similar here) & Bag | RIVER ISLAND Watch

Old habits really do die hard. I shared the camel version of this skirt and nude version of these shoes in my most recent haul, and couldn’t resist going back for both of them in black!
Here’s a fun fact about me (or you can call it a habit!): When I like something and find that they have it in black, I have to have it.
Even better if they have it in a variety of colours too.

Thought I may need them one day, and if I didn’t buy them I’d regret not doing so, forever!
Okay maybe not forever, but you kinda get the idea that I’m really digging the skirt and heels huh?

Styled the skirt the other day with a tee tied into a knot, red lips and my trustee leather jacket.
Where was I off to dressed like this, I hear you whisper?
Oh, just a spot of afternoon tea and chit chat with some friends.

Here is the skirt in Camel, White and Grey… Yes I may have placed a cheeky order and own all of them now.

*PS* If you missed that Haul, here it is…

    Oh Shirley.. I really can relate to that habit. Whenever I fall in love with an item I’m like “oh but black fits to everything… it will be sold out soon and I will regret not buying it.”

    Can you please tell me if you live in the u.s. Because I’m considering ordering from office website and heard a lot of negative reviews. I’m obsessed with laced up heels and need these but at the same time do not want to over charged at customs for delivery.
