London Fashion Week : Outfit 1 - Pleated Organza Skirt


Hello all!
 I've been so excited to share my first outfit of London Fashion Week, at long last! It seemed quite perfectly timed when I was contacted by Voucher Codes just before LFW began, asking me if I'd like to take part in a styling activity. The activity entailed them allowing me a budget of £80 and sending me out on my merry way to find 3 items from high street stores, that I could style into 3 different outfits - which had to fit under various 'trend' categories. I couldn't choose between my two favourites and so went for 'Modern 60s' (coming soon!) AND 'Monochrome'.

I don't naturally sway towards the 'simplistic' look when it comes to dressing myself - so when I happened upon this beautiful creation; the pleated, organza panel midi skirt, I set myself a challenge to try and create an outfit around it that was quite understated and simple, but still striking in it's contrast and structure.  I'd love to know your thoughts! 

Skirt : Topshop c/o Voucher Codes. Top : Topshop. Shoes : Zara. Bag & Earrings : Chanel. Sunglasses : Miu Miu.

P.S. Much love and thanks to Bianca and Unnamed-but-Well-Dressed-Older-Man for taking my photographs!

  15. Flawless flawless flawless. I would pay you to be my stylist, you choose and combine the prettiest pieces. You wardrobe at home must be phenomenal. This is a great LFW outfit though, it's not overstyled or overly fussy, 'simplistic' suits you!
