Dressing down

ThankFifi-Next-Denim-2

denim shirt – c/o Next
maxi skirt (worn as dress, very similar & super cheap here) – ebay (worn here as skirt)
sandal – Warehouse
glasses – Marks & Spencer
leather belt – H&M
bracelets – various, Piccadilly Circus nail polish – Nails Inc.
leather bag – Autograph @ Marks & Spencer

lead – Ancol
coat – model’s own c/o Infindigo 

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Mine was a mixed bag…  spent most of Saturday scrubbing a bathroom ceiling with bleach.  It was a dangerous game dodging the spray – lose and you’re blind.  Not cool.  The husband, meanwhile, painted round the woodwork with a brush meant for a child and never broke a sweat.  Something wasn’t adding up…  THEN, after, he smiles and says to me, ‘It feels pretty good having done some hard graft’.  Seriously?!  Whaaaaat?!

It’s true what James Brown says – This is a man’s world.

On the upside I actually did feel quite good having done some hard graft.

So what about  today’s look?  Probably the most versatile piece in my entire closet is this skirt – I’ve worn it so many ways it should probably have it’s own blog domain.  Also continuing my denim addiction…  And get ready for a cuteness overload because there’s a shot of the puppy who licked my teeth in there too!

    I love this! I am especially intrigued by the knot on the skirt- I would never have thought to do that, but it looks great!

    xo,
    Kristina

    • Wendy Posted 30 Jul at 4:21 pm

      well, the skirt is actually quite narrow so as a full length maxi there’s a bit of penguin walk required oto maneovre – not ideal for dog walks! the knot helps and I think also looks cool ;)

    the puppy is adorable! as well as those sandals

    • Wendy Posted 30 Jul at 6:57 pm

      yes perhaps it’s more that all men are the same! he is very good at many things but his grasp of ‘graft’ is a but off…

    I love your skirt worn like a dress! If u didn’t say anything, I would have just assumed that’s what it was, haha. Nicely done!
