Good morning and happy mid-week, half way to the weekend!
How’s the weather where you are? (I’m such a true Brit!) we have rain, rain…and a bit more rain. I am most un-amused. It’s okay when you can stay inside, but when you HAVE to go out…
Yesterday I wore my zipper pencil skirt. I love the skirt but after 5 minutes I realised why I never wear it…
stairs become impossible. Seriously. In the end I went sideways like a crab.
Today I went for more grey, with the addition of wet look leopard print detail tights.
Currently it’s dry outside, and touch wood it’ll stay that way until lunch-time as I have to go out.
This clever clogs knew she had baking to do (2 more lots of hobnobs as Mum’s colleagues are demanding!) yet forgot to buy flour.
What are you up to?

And watch this space for the next installment of the gift guide coming up on Cant Help but Be later today.

You look lovely, the photos of you in the dress are fab ! Thats such a shame about the skirt, but walking like a crab is safer anway!
I love your outfits! Grey is one of my new favorite colours 🙂 Too bad about the skirt, it’s really pretty. Well, I guess that’s how some really pretty things are: not practical.
It isn’t too bad up here. Lots of rain yesterday, grey and dry today. Have a good day!
You look lovely in the grey dress! Hope the sun stays bright for you:)
that seconds dress is GORGEOUS and you look amazing in it.
pencil skirts will sadly do that, just another way (heels, clutch bags), designers attempt to restrict our mobility.
weather down here? hottest day since last year’s summer – i think it reached about 35 degrees today, which isn’t heaps, but when it has been like 22 for a long time, it feels like a heatwave!

oh i love the first outfit. So laid back with the boots. So cool, you totally pulled it off. Amazing.
have a great day!

sorry the skirt is difficult, because its so chic!
that grey dress is so cute, and i love your boots too.the weather here isnt too bad, sunny at the moment, good luck with the hobnobs!
Two more lovely outfits. Why not eBay that skirt and buy more goodies? xxx
One of my fave colour is gray! 🙂
U look so stunning, Darling!
X♡X♡
It hasn’t stopped raining here ALL DAY!

Love both of these looks, darling!
Those leggings are incredible!

Great outfits! That skirt is so cute, too bad it makes you have to walk sideways up stairs 😉
The dress you’re wearing in the other pictures is super adorable!
Hope the weather gets a little less rainy 😉
Love that zipper skirt- too cute!! Those tights in the second photos are too fun- I can’t stand it. 🙂
Hope the weather gets better!

nice leopard print tights!
Love your outfits. That skirt is so pretty, too bad it makes stairs difficult. It’s been really rainy here too lately. This morning it’s really foggy and cold-looking.
those tights! so amazing. you look lovely. xx
love the grey dress + wet look leggings combo! 🙂 and i feel you on the zipper skirt. that’s maybe why i dont own a single pencil skirt. happy baking sis!

I love that dress and those shoes are FABULOUS.
Beautiful. I love your tights and boots! xoxo ava
I’m loving all that grey, darling! Though I must admit, it is difficult to navigate stairs when donning a skirt; your solution is hilarious however – crab-style! 🙂
your boots and tights are soooo cool! great outfits!
The exposed zips skirt is way too perfect.
the leopard print tights are amazing!!! 🙂 xx
Love them both, but the dress is my favourite. I’m obsessed with 50s shapes, I think they’re so flattering for all body types. Love how you made it modern with those leggings!
You have great eyebrows too! 🙂

I love the outfit and REALLY love the leopard print tights!
We finally got a warm day here today. It’s been freezing!
love the texture on these tights
haha i have yet to master the art of walking up stairs in a pencil skirt as well! you look awesome in it though, so i guess its a sacrifice that must be made in the name of fashion! the second outfit is gorgeous too – i love the boots 🙂
xo
Gorgeous dress! I have an annoying skirt like that too, I can’t run up stairs at work and I sometimes crab it too! The weather is truly shiteous…
i like the boots. i like 3 and 4 photo.
first 2 photos give me that paris after the world war 2 feeling. dont get me wrong, its chic, but u r too beuatiful to hide behind the classic.
lovely skirt!
love your boots! 🙂
love the leopard tights and zipper skirt! too bad about the crab walking though

I like the zipper skirt. I tried one on at h&m but i ended up not buying it.
Love the zippered skirt honey and love the grey even more, it is such an effortlessly chic colour to wear!

Fabulous tights! Baking sounds nice… all I am doing today is cleaning my room. O_o
I hate when cute clothes make it difficult to walk! Too bad its raining…I live in California and it’s even been raining here.

That second outfit is amazing! Those tights are cute, and the way you put it all together is great! LOVE!
You look amazzzing!
Falling in love with zipper all over again; after seeing this skirt & also the Lanvin collection…Lurrrve!

I think I’ve mentioned before how much I love that grey shirt-dress of yours. I’m gonna steal it!
it’s sunny in socal. adore your second dress.
the weather is very bad, always rainny everydays, I hate rainny days >.<, I like u combine all ur clothes, it's very simple but great and ur I love ur white coat, but it's not perfect for rainny days :p
I love your grey outfits. Grey is one of my favourite clothing colours.
Melbourne is usually grey too, but we’ve been lucky to be getting more sunshine these past couple of days 🙂
That dress is lovely! Yes the weather was disastrous yesterday, wasn’t it? But I secretly love the opportunity to get all my rainy day attire on… wellies, rain mac, umbrella.. Like a little waterproof coccoon! x
Love the gray outfit! Nice on you, too! 🙂
i have a skirt like that where i have to jump up the stairs because it’s so tight i can’t move my legs properly ahah. all the leaves are starting to fall off the trees here cos of the rain and wind 🙁 i don’t like that because it means autumn’s over and winter is nearly here
Thats so funny! Walking like a crab! hehe….I have a few skirts that ride up when I walk and I always forget until its too late! Hey I love those hot leopard tights…gorgeous x
Great tights! I did something like that the other day – tried to cycle in a pencil skirt… FAIL.

the trench-y dress with the leopard print tights and stud boots? I’m in love. Seriously killer! Woah.
Hope you have a great weekend gorgeous 🙂
That grey dress is so pretty! Pencil skirts – only for places with lifts and escalators methinks!
Your outfit is so pretty!!!!
I love both of these looks. The zipper skirt is very cool and edgy in the first and the design of the dress is so striking in the second.
We are getting rain in Canada too 🙁 I’m not a big fan of rain. But I am a fan of you grey dress, I love the shape of skirt!
I am officially in love with gray!
you look lovely, dear…
xoxo
It’s actually been a lovely warm sunny fall week here in my London. I am enjoying it while I can, before the Canadian winter sets in.I really love your second gray outfit – that dress is so pretty!
I love those boots and that lovely dress! It’s sunny and warm here. Don’t hate me. I would trade with you. : )
your zipper skirt is super cool, and that dress is simply darling. I can’t resist a nice full skirt
