Summer clothes have been stored away, and I'm now in the process of gleefully reuniting with my chunky jumpers and cashmere cardigans. Yay! I'll admit, when the temperature drops I find myself wishing it was acceptable to step outdoors in furry microwaveable slippers (please tell me this isn't just a Brit thing?), however a few recently added 'hero pieces' to my wardrobe are preventing me from inflicting such a cruel sight upon the world. Right now, I'm all about this denim midi skirt designed by Donna Ida for Jaeger, the perfect foundation for a ton of different looks this season...
Bardot Bodysuit - Miss Selfridge
Midi Skirt - Donna Ida Sabrina Skirt at Jaeger
Necklace - Dauphines of NY headband c/o (worn as necklace)
Boots - Zara
Hair accessory - Velcro DIY
Hair accessory - Velcro DIY
If I'm not opting for an oversized blouse or cosy knit, I prefer smooth tops that slide into skirts without rippling. With this in mind, Miss Selfridge have once again saved the day with their never-ending bodysuit releases. I adore this black bardot top, featuring long-sleeves ideal for wearing alone, or equally teaming with a second layer to keep warm. Quick fixes to breaking up the top's block colour? Draping long hair over one shoulder, or adding a long pendant.
So, down to the details! The costume jewellery I'm wearing as a necklace was actually intended to be a headband by Dauphines of NY, however it seemed wasted in my mass of hair. Instead, it fills the negative space around my neck, and as a result has prompted me to look at my other headbands for inspiration! Another unusual story lies behind the hair accessory worn in this look - it's literally just two pieces of velcro stuck together, with one part being left exposed at the end to seal the loop. So y'know, next time you can't find that black hair tie...
I'm all for outfits that can be taken from day-to-night, and so this denim midi skirt has won a very special place in my heart this season. Have you tried styling a denim midi skirt recently? Let me know in the comments below!With love,
Gabrielle x
I have never worn midi skirts in my life, because I don't think they suit me. This one looks great on you. I like that it is denim, and the hidden print is very nice actually. I like that you didn't combine it with an oversized sweater, because it sometimes looks awkward. The top is perfect.

Those boots!! I absolutely love them and thought they were going to be designer and cost a fortune so I was so happy to see that they are from Zara :) I have yet to add a denim skirt to my wardrobe but it's definitely something I'm going to keep an eye out for as I love this look :) x

You look absolutely GORGEOUS, Gabrielle! I love this entire look, the bardot bodysuit is so feminine and romantic, I love it paired with the denim midi skirt and that unexpected pop of leopard really makes it that much more unique! Now, I'm also swooning over those ankle boots, I love that they're pointed toe and have the buckles on the side. At first glance, I thought it was a full boot, but after looking closely, I see that you've created the effect with the tights, such great styling, beauty! You are also so clever in using the hair accessory as a necklace and the velcro as a hair-tie! Thanks so much for sharing, gorgeous, and I hope you have the most amazing day ahead!

My denim midi skirt is a piece I plan to keep wearing through the fall as well. It's fun to be able to transition our closets and find new ways to wear last season's favorites. Lovely outfit Gabrielle! The leopard print on the inside of this skirt is like a fabulous surprise :)

ReplyDeleteDenim midi skirt is a very useful item to have in one's closet. I absolutely love how you styled yours. There is something timeless about pairing denim with black. Very stylish combo, for sure. Those ankle booties with high heels are dreamy... You look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you decided to wear that pedant as a necklace! That's creative thinking. Absolutely perfect styling, from head to toe. Btw the location is lovely, these photographs on the rooftop turned out so well...they are stunning!

I remember when I was younger, we used to wear denim skirts a lot. I think that's why I don't really wear them anymore, since they instantly sound childish :D However, I love it on you, and I may have to reconsider that :D Also, I love the shoes! x

I don't know if I can pull off a midi skirt like you can, but you sure rock this look! You look sooo gorgeous here and I really like how you pulled your hair to one side like that. I've used necklaces as hair jewelry before but not the other way round, I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I'm at loss for what to use!
