Work appropriate

Midi skirts are back on the agenda.

The midi skirt is my hero. Although it has a propensity to make me feel like a middle-aged pleb, on the whole it makes me feel professional and is a go-to for work days.

My current favourites are both from Reiss. These have survived my clearing out cull.

The white skirt, with laser cut detail, was a Middle East exclusive. It's a shame this is not available anywhere else because shape wise it's probably the most flattering midi I have ever owned. It fits closely at the waist and hips and has just enough flare at the bottom.


Skirt: Reiss - similar Link!
Top: Mango
Bag: Sophie Hulme - Link!
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Sunglasses: Bailey Nelson - Link!
Necklace: Forever21 - Link! (pretty obsessed with this right now and Forever21 have loads of amazing ones)

Sadly, the green skirt doesn't have the same flattering properties. It requires serious Spanx action to hide the cellulite but the shape and length are the redeeming qualities. Add white top and heels and I feel work meeting ready.

Skirt: Reiss (old)
Top: good old New Look
Bag: Sophie Hulme - Link!
Shoes: Stella McCartney (a decade old! Does this make them vintage? :)
Sunglasses: Celine - Link!

I think the next addition to the work wardrobe will be this dress from ASOS - Link! - perfect colour, shape and length.

I was cleaning out my photo album this week and when I looked back at what I wore last year I noticed that I definitely went for short hem lines. I don't think this change is a result of a fashion thing - I think this is an acute awareness that I no longer own good knees thing. Thank God midis are in existence! :)
