11.01 grey day

Happy Monday! Thanks for sharing your winter beauty must haves with me yesterday (please, carry on) there are definitley some products I’ll be investigating in.

Another cold dreary day today, though for the first time in ages I have absolutley no intention in leaving the house which means I can get away with slightly fewer layers. Grey seemed the most appropriate colour choice for such a dull day, apparently we have yet more snow on its way tonight and tomorrow.

This outfit came about after seeings lots of jumpers with a ruffled hem, making it look like a sweater worn over a dress. Not willing to spend money on such a thing, I had a go at improvising. I think the skirt needs to be shorter, or perhaps the jumper longer…any shorter on the skirt length and it’d be indecent I fear.

Have a fab week,
stay warm and safe! xxx

    I love this outfit combination, so chic. I always improvise in this way too, separates are far more versatile and you can always mix and match. Grey is one of my favourite colours too.

  68. Love the gray sweater with the ruffle skirt pairing, you look amazing chic and comfy!!!

  69. You must be really looking forward to spring right now!

    I love the jumper paired with the skirt, the ruffles peeking out is adorable:)

    kisses

  74. Please don’t touch anything about this outfit … it’s perfection!

    That watch is dynamite!

  75. Aww.. love the slouchy sweater with the skirt. Hope the sun comes out soon!

  81. I think the jumper and skirt combo looks really cute! I am short and can’t seem to get away with short skirts (they make me look shorter), so I am way jealous!!

    And I totally did not know that dark chocolate contains iron. Thanks so much for justifying chocolate munching to me!! It completely made my day!!
