OOTD: The perfect Co-ord

SKIRT: Topshop

TOP: Topshop

SHOES: Primark

BAG: Bought on holiday

A midi skirt is my absolute go-to item, so how cool for me that they're totally on trend at the moment?! But I do have to wonder, how do petite girls go on? I'm tall (5'8") and most midi skirts are the perfect length for me. Do they just make them super long?

Anyway, I've been coveting this co-ord for months now, although originally I wanted the ballet pink colour. Sadly, that went into the sale and I missed out, but when I spotted this in my size I didn't hesitate to order. The skirt just doesn't look quite as amazing in pictures as it does in real life, even the Topshop web images make it look like your average midi. The satin is gorgeously thick, and the pleats around the waistband (as seen in the bottom picture) make it look much more high-end than it actually is. At just £30, perhaps this is the most bargainous skirt in existence? (an exaggeration - but I am pretty chuffed.)

I'm actually pretty glad that I couldn't get my hands on the pink set. Although I could have worked it with the pastel trend this season, I think it may have washed me out. This colour is a definite stand-out.

So this is my first ever proper OOTD post - I'm feeling a little nervous, but also like a proper blogger. Hope you guys enjoy the read, and feel free to pop a comment below. Feedback is the way forward, yes?
