Checkered...

Here's my outfit today... I don't tend to wear trousers much (I haven't owned a proper pair of jeans in years) but about a month ago or so I bought these brilliant black skinny trousers from River Island (£35). They go with a lot of things so that's definitely an advantage and I really like the leather strips down the side (the photos don't do them justice). I'm also wearing my shirt I got as a Christmas present (from Topshop). I love the gold tips on the collar and the print is really lovely. I'm also wearing a necklace (another christmas present), my ring from New Look (on sale), my Topshop socks (3 for £7) and some snakeskin brogues I got in the sale (Office - £25). These are now my new favourite shoes. I justified the purchase since I had been spending the whole of the winter wearing a pair of shoes (also snakeskin - I know, there's just something about it!) that I bought for £5 from ebay (they were also falling apart). 
Sorry about the photo quality by the way, I seem to have got into the habit of taking these photos in the evening when it's dark and the lighting is rubbish, but next time I promise to take them during the day!














What do you think? What's your favourite piece?

Good morning, lovelies! Today is already shaping up to be one of those days where I struggle to keep up with my scary-long to-do list, so this post is going to be short and sweet... In fact, I'll just leave you with this weekend's humble realization: I'm officially obsessed with trousers. I've worn them before, but it took me a while to officially get on board (what can I say, I like dresses!). But now I'm here and I'm loving it... Thoughts? You guys are waaay cooler than me so you probably reached this conclusion eons ago, but hey, better late than never, right?

Mass-ive Attack...

Writing the outfit details for this post made me realize that I should probably diversify my shopping spots a bit... Can you say predictable? If my ensembles don't hail from the "holy trinity"of shopping — aka mass retail giants H&M, Forever 21 or Zara — you can bet they come from my employer, Mr. Michael Kors... Not exactly original. Have I stumbled into some kind of sartorial rut? Probably... But at least acceptance is the first step to recovery, right?
