It’s my birthday today, so I’ve decided to only do blog posts from bed, drinking Jing Earl Grey and scoffing sea salted caramel chocolates. Mmhmm! As you may know I’m a seasoned charity shopper, but I picked this skirt on one of my many lunchtime trips to Bang Bang. It’s from Daks and the quality is unbelievable. The florals are pretty and watercolour-y and I can’t wait to wear it in summer with bare legs and my pale suede lace ups. Something I noticed when I put the skirt on is four little suede patches sewn onto the waistband. I’ve deduced that they’re to stop the skirt twisting round when you wear it, attention to detail on a level like that is just mind blowing and kind of makes me want to cry! I’m always amazed when I come across things like this, and it reminds me that I have clothes-making skills I should be using. Also, for the sewing geeks, the hemming on the skirt is AMAZING, near invisible.
