Need I say anything else?!?! I love it! (there, I did say something else after all..)

But if you want to read a great post about it in relation with The Queen’s 90th birthday, you must read this: http://thatsnotmyage.com/uncategorized/the-queen-at-90/    (wrote by somebody who has an equally great sense of humour, among other qualities)

Statement midi skirt + white t-shirt

I bought a skirt a couple of days ago. I hadn’t set out to buy one but I was in one of those outlets where you do an awful lot of walking, I needed to stop for a while, so I went into a shop… as one does in order to rest! Anyway, I was not looking for anything specific, better not in a place like that, and I happened to come across a rather gorgeous skirt. Beautiful slightly shiny cotton, sits on the waist and opens up with wide non ironed pleats, length just under my knees. It was love at first sight! It’s by Patrizia Pepe. Mine is black but I would love one with a floral print as well (I especially like the Hobbs tulip one). Here are some I prepared earlier:

 

If you prefer to stick to black or anyway a dark colour here are some:

This last one looks very much like mine…

I am going to wear it with a simple white t-shirt and flat mules (I am very slightly taken by them!!! I think I will probably just wear them all summer!!)

Off-the-shoulder trend

& Other Stories Off Shoulder Blouse lavender.

Although this is not something I will love and cherish forever, it’s a cute summer (passing) trend which I like, especially if done with a good dose of taste. & Other Stories has the perfect top for this look: lavender or white cotton.

 

 

 

I would wear it this way:

I also like it with a mid-calf pencil skirt:
