This is an outfit that I feel looks better in real life than in photos. Or it could be my not-so-good camera! I have to say winter really does sort the men out from the boys, photography-wise. It’s always so dark, and my camera can’t cope with anything other than bright sunlight! Ah well.

This outfit includes a few recent purchases for once – hooray! Although the glasses, tights, boots and skirt are all from 1-2 years ago. I recently got the boots mended for the second time, as they’re just so comfortable. Unfortunately my Clarks pair (review here) got a hole in the first day of wearing them, and apparently it was so bad they couldn’t be saved. So, quite disappointed really, especially as Clarks are meant to be a super durable brand! Maybe I need to invest in some DMs…

Also, to any of you who answered my red lipstick question on twitter: thank you! It was the push I needed to treat myself to MAC’s Ruby Woo. I have MAC Red, but it’s far too glossy and glam for daytime use. Ruby Woo is exactly what I was after. Yay!

I hope you’re all well. It’s been an exciting week – can’t wait to tell you all about it!

      Haha! You know what, I think it was scuffing them on the stairs at the tube station. :(

    Do you have somewhere else to take pics as the black gets mixed in with background of the black wardrobe? Shame that the Clarks boots didn’t last long!

    Wow this is a great little outfit! I love the collar and skirt, and the red tights look fantastic! My camera is pretty much the same in Winter. It refuses to cooperate unless the sun is shining x

    I totally agree with you about winter photography. This is especially true for me as I tend to do my best thinking/working in the evening and now I have to scramble to get stuff done by the afternoon. Boo.

    But back to your outfit. I love that skirt and the collar is amazing. I keep thinking I should get one of those asos peplum tops as they look so good on everyone I’ve seen wearing them.
