So the weather is cooling down and the mornings and evenings are getting chilly, but I still refuse to wear tights. I’m too busy grasping at whatever warm weather we have left (which, when it reaches about 10am, is quite a lot actually). I’m also grasping at getting as much wear out of this skirt as I can before it inevitably falls to pieces. It’s starting to look a bit worse for wear. Sad face. What AREN’T looking worse for wear are these Ash ankle boots that I scored from my-wardrobe.com. Happy face. I still like to wear them with nearly everything. Usually I find it hard to pair midi length skirts with ankle boots for fear of making my legs look stumpy, but these boots are perfect. I think it has to do with the dippy bit at the front. Yes, dippy bit. Check out my grasp of the English language yo.
Why don't you like tights? I'm not hugely fond of them myself but i still wear stockings or knee socks to keep my legs warm ๐ you are braver than i am!
I love this outfit, definitely something I would wear myself. Your choice of colour is perfect ๐
@herecomesthesun: I guess I didn't explain myself properly. I don't NOT like tights. I wear stockings all the time in winter. I just can't bring myself to wear them just yet! Plus they don't seem go with midi skirts, which is what half my wardrobe consists of at the moment. eeek!
@Macy: thank you!
absolutely love the chicness of this look! that maxi skirt is wonderful.
very cute outfit

I love that outfit! I have a few midi-length things and I actually like wearing them with knee-high boots. It makes me feel kinda 1970s, hehe.
I looove the outfit! Sometimes it's great to switch things up a bit! The skirt is absolute perfection – the length, the colour, and the pleats are all so wonderful!

I hate it when clothes die ๐ ๐ ๐
Love, love, love that skirt – have you looked on ASOS I swear i saw similar ones on there recently.

Lovely outfit, especially the skirt. Wish I could rock a hat like that!
It's so clod here in NSW…. it's so windy. You're lucky your in QLD. Get as much warmth as you can. The boots do look great. these def don't make your legs stumpy.
you pull off midi skirts so well! and hahaha i love shoes with dippy bits too, great word coining! xx misstea & co.
Love! I am such a fan of black midi skirts and this one is just a beauty. Perfectly styled as well. xx
Sooo weird – this outfit is so damn close to what I've planned to wear saturday to a party that I'm beginning to get scared. Same tee, but shorter sleeves, navy maxi skirt and boots.
Is there some kind of mental link that I don't know about, like harry potter and voldemort (but possibly less scary). I'll def have to take an outfit photo on sat now >.>
lol best title!!
Those colours look great (ยดโฝ๏ฝ)
i'm looking for a skirt exactly like yours at the moment but in a pale ballet pink.
I'm not a huge fan of tights so I'm holding off as well. I love what you are wearing, your skirt and boots go just perfectly.
Your writing gave me a good giggle ๐
xx
You always pull of this length so effortlessly. And love the stripes x
Loving your colours and the stripes!
the dippy bit works! the skirt looks lovely on you, see if you can find a similar one as a replacement?

I like to play chicken with the weather when it comes to tights. And ankle boots with the skirt definitely has no stumpifying effect on you! You look marvellous.
