Spring is in the air

 

I put my eye on this pleated Zara skirt while I was shopping the January sales. However,  I was very disappointed when I realised that they didn’t have the skirt in my size as I really liked the shape and the colour of it. It was the skirt which inspired this post. When I’m putting a collage together I tend to start out with one piece of clothing or an accessory and I incorporate the rest of the outfit around that item.

I love the V-neck shape of this Equipment Asher cashmere sweater and I think the layered gold-plated necklaces provide the perfect combination. I also wanted to add a little bit of bling to the outfit but without taking away from it’s simplicity. I think the ear cuff achieves just the right amount of balance for this purpose.

I wasn’t too sure about what bag to accessorise the outfit with. I thought that a pop of colour like orange or red might look quite cool but when I saw this transparent mini Saint Laurent bag it was love. I love the modern affect that the transparent bag adds to the outfit.

I chose these shoes because I think they are the perfect height and I love the crocodile   type finish of the leather at front of the shoe. The chunky heel and the strap also add a bit of extra support so that you can last in your heels throughout the day. Mules are so on trend at the moment too so if you want to look fashion forward I would definitely recommend that you invest in a pair like these.

I hope you guys like this outfit! As always let me know what your thoughts are in the comments below. I love reading them all!
