Pleats

 Topshop skirt, top and shoes, H&M jacket, Asos clutch

The light in Manchester has been so incandescent of late. It's nice that things have brightened up a little, for once, but sometimes it can make it more than a little difficult to get a good photograph. Perhaps my photography skills just aren't that great and I should stop trying to blame the overexposure on the lighting situation. Either way, hopefully you can just about see this outfit I wore for dinner with friends on Sunday evening.

I bought this skirt in September and, originally, it was a midi length. For me, I've come to find this length quite awkward so I decided to stop purchasing things that really are rather unflattering on my relatively short frame, and I had my skirt taken up. Now, I adore it and the soft pleats combined with its new found curtailment make for a rather cute result.
Until next time see you on Twitter and Pinterest.
