A revelation

ThankFifi-Gap-3

denim jacket – Gap (last worn here)
silk tank – River Island (last worn here)
maxi skirt – Limited Collection @ M&S
wedge high tops – River Island
(last worn here)
headband – H&M, glasses – Mango
belt – Mango
watch – Calvin Klein, bracelets – various
leather bag – Autograph @ M&S

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

Drum roll…  you can wear wedge sneakers under a maxi and not only are they comfy and give you the height you might need to lift your hem off the floor, they are also pretty well hidden.  That being said, I did enjoy seeing the odd flash of sneaker as I walked.  Also, not quite sure what kind of hairstyle this was meant to be but the wind sure did play a mean game with it…

Pretty sure someone stole at least one day out of this week – too fast.  Not that I don’t always enjoy Fat Friday but I sure could have used a few more hours before it snuck up behind me with my G&T.  However, Friday, I embrace you and all your G&T goodness and the 2 non-work days following that you gift to me – how kind.  Enjoy it friends!x

P.S.  Yesterday Mr K and myself bumped into a lovely reader of the blog – sorry I was so bemused I didn’t even ask your name but you really made my day with your kind words.

    Beautiful pleated maxi! I really like the idea of wearing wedge runners under it, great idea for a bit of extra height.

      It was such a funny day for weather – really hot but rainy so it seemed the right choice!

      thank you – I just got it on sale but I see they have re-released the same belt again this season (which I have linked) but this season’s is not real leather – how rude!
