Primark Jumper
Vintage kilt via ebay
Bertie shoes c/o Sarenza
This week became a real battle of warmth versus style. Instinct says wear floral dresses, pastels and all things Spring,
common sense says find your warmest clothes and damn what they look like. This kilt is the perfect compromise, the heavy wool fabric provides warmth whilst still making a bit of a statement. I can’t remember how much I paid for it but it wasn’t a lot. The same goes for this jumper, I bought a few of them for about a fiver in Primark last year and they’ve worn and washed so well and become a bit of a staple.
We’re finally at that long weekend, hurrah! Yesterday was so, so busy but it was nice to down tools and leave for home knowing I’d made a difference AND earnt a break. This morning is going to involve nothing more taxing than dying my hair- it hasn’t been done since before Christmas, oops!
What are you up to today? And what are your cold weather beating staples?

I love Tartan. It’s such a great look. The skirt really suits you.

I’ve given up all thoughts of pastel, floral, light-fabric loveliness and simply surrendered to the ongoing onslaught of winter with plenty of wool in layer upon layer. I did exactly the same as you yesterday and brought out one of my vintage kilts. (I say one ‘one of’ because I have a bit of an obsession). It was the turn of the full length, down to the ankles kilt from a jumble sale. THAT put paid to the chill East winds around my knees. Love this red kilt on you. Such a classic look.
I shouldn’t admit to this but warmth wins over style every time! It’s too flipping cold to do anything else – where is the sun?
Love this skirt and the shoes – hello!
This weekend is going to be a quiet one, I’m catching up on work stuff and doing a spot of housework and eating enormous amounts of chocolate 🙂
Of course I’ll vote for you, consider it done x
I’m toying with the idea of wearing a Hawaiian maxi dress tomorrow but the snow currently falling past the window is putting me off! Love that skirt and the shoes! x
You have such long slim legs. I am not a fan of tartan but you look great x
THOSE shoes! <3
This kilt looks AMAZING on you and I love those shoes!

Tartan is fabulous all year round! Especially in the crappy British weather :/ xxx
Adoring your skirt missy x
You look effortlessly beautiful! So Jel.
P.S. Good luck – I voted, of course x
That kilt is so fab! I love tartan, and I’m wishing for some warmer weather, this coldness is far too cold for my liking xxx
I am yet to buy a tartan garment – not sure what but I might just chicken out and get a scarf! I’m not that brave like you, plus you look stunning! X
