OOTD: A little more velvet.

Heya!

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my 'black velvet' post (here) it's always lovely to hear what you think about my outfits/posts! I wore the skirt out tonight for a friends dinner at Nandos! (yum!)

I went for a very monochrome look tonight. I paired the skirt with a grey primark tee and some spotty tights! What do you think? I didn't actually end up wearing these shoes in the end as I rememebered that a) I was driving and b) I'd have to walk a fair way from restaurant to car! So I settled for my topshop black patent brogues in the end!




I only bought these tights yesterday (£2 Primark) but they've already laddered which is really annoying. I don't even remember catching them on anything. I might invest in some better quality ones next time. Does anyone know where I can get some?



Tee & tights - Primark
Skirt - Topshop
Shoes - Dorothy Perkins
Nail Varnish - Apricot Punch - Rimmel


How are your weekends going? I've got a family meal sunday lunch time that was meant to be in April but I got stranded in New York due to a certain volcanic eruption so it had to be rescheduled! It's also my Dad's birthday today!

Also, If anyone knows any shops which sell decent trekking trousers I'd be eternally grateful as I'm struggling to find any that actually fit me (I have short legs!) I'm off on my trip next sunday (so excited) but I'll be gone for a whole month! No internet or anything for most of it!

Lots of Love,
Millie xxx

Black Velvet ...

One of my going out essentials this year has been my black velvet bodycon skirt. I love how easy it is to style and how it can be dressed up or down! I'm very happy that it looks like velvet is here to stay this winter (seen on the catwalks of Burburry & Ralph Lauren). So here are 2 outfit posts showing ways I've worn this skirt recently!
Topshop pink tee (£14)
Topshop bodycon skirt (£20)
Dorothy Perkins heels (£22)
Vintage St Michael Body
Topshop Bodycon skirt (£20)
Dorothy Perkins heels (£22)

I found this printed body in our dressing up box a few months ago (Yes I still have a dressing up box..!) unfortunately it has an awkward piece of elastic around the middle which means it can only be worn with high waisted shorts/skirts! Still, I'm not complaining!

What do you think of velvet? How would you wear this skirt?

Lots of Love, Millie

P.s. These pictures were edited on picnik which I discovered after the lovely Jazzabelle of Jazzabelles Diary mentioned it on her latest blog post! It's one of my favourite blogs! Have a look!
