A black mini skirt is essential to any girls wardrobe – whetherit’s leather, corduroy or cotton it’s the item that pretty much goes withanything. This structured one from Choies is every kind of awesome – the pleatsmeans it makes you look like a bad-ass ballerina and is easily dressed downwith some pretty perfect patent shoes from Shoe Zone. For less than £15 they’remy new favourite pair – I mean, who doesn’t like feeling like a school childwhen they’re nearly 25? And being almost an exact match to a pair of £70 Dr Martens,I think we’re on to a winner, right? Right.Stripes are also creeping their way in to my wardrobethis spring and this blouse makes me think of something you’d discover in thelikes of COS, Zara or & Other Stories, but at a fraction of the price. The fabrichangs beautifully and is light enough to wear with rolled up sleeves on thosewarmer days.Shop my look:
