colour-blocked fantasy

i wanted to spruce up a skirt i've had for years and didn't want to wear just a regular, plain coloured top with it. i've been totally into the colour-blocking dressing and i found this shirt at a local thrift store and loved it but have not worn it yet. i decided this was the best time to dig it out and put it on display and i felt it gave a different look to the skirt. due to unhealthily cold weather in may, i had to don my black hosiery again along with a sweater to keep out the chill.





 SKIRT / f21; SHIRT / thrifted; SWEATER / thrifted; JACKET / thrifted; NECKLACE / stella & dot; BRACELETS / f21, vintage; FLATS / aldo; SUNNIES / d&g; PURSE / vintage; SCARF / ysl

working in the city means a LOT of walking so i pulled out my comfiest pair of ballet flats and threw on my khaki windbreaker jacket to beat the cold. it turned out to be a beautiful day and i probably could've gone without the hosiery - however, sometimes i feel the hosiery gives an outfit that added punch needed. plus, hosiery always pulls off the intended chicness.

happy wednesday!
