Black ‘n Bright

I promised an outfit post featuring my brand new boots from the DUO event and here it is. They arrived almost two weeks ago now, so in true Laura style I am behind with my blogging but that gives more weight behind the declaration that these boots are awesome! The perfect fit and oh so comfortable they have barely left my feet. Even better is the fact they are water resistant, keeping my feet snug and dry on the increasingly damp walks to work.

Jumper: H&M | Skirt: Marks and Spencer | Boots c/o Duo

The Somerset boots just so happen to be the perfect partner to this skirt from M&S, a bargain at £25 (yeah, I was amazed by the price too!). I was drawn to the bright yellow/green colour which no longer seems to be available online and there is something quite 1960s about it. This has made a welcome addition to my work wear, and judging by the reaction of my colleagues it’s various colours might become our office uniform. I kept the top half of my outfit simple with a slouchy cropped knit from H&M, another bargain at £7.99 although I am on the lookout for a fine knitted polo neck to complete the retro vibes.
I can’t believe we’re now in to November, there is no denying the fact that Christmas is looming and things are going to be getting a lot colder…

what have you been adding to your work wardrobe lately? I also picked up a gorgeous dress in M&S the other week, one that I had been eyeing for a little while and I then found in the sale…watch out for that featuring on the blog soon. I can’t believe I so often overlook good old marks and sparks, they have some brilliant pieces at the moment, not least this epic Christmas jumper!

  2. Oh I love the boots! The skirt looks amazing too, I always seem to pair bright tops with black skirts but it looks so good the other way round on you 🙂

  4. Oh wow that skirt really suits.

  5. M&S have some gorgeous clothes at the moment, especially for work!

  6. I think M&S have some really good things. I swear by their tights in the Winter months. They do have some nice things and your skirt find is really lovely!

  7. Your skirt is so beautiful. I want a Christmas jumper, you always seem to have such a better variety in the Uk compared to hear here they are so hard to track down

  8. That Christmas jumper you picked up is so darn adorable Laura.
    I love the skirt too, it really does have a 60s vibe and great for Autumn. But in spring how great will it look with cobalt blue?
