11.01 grey day

Happy Monday! Thanks for sharing your winter beauty must haves with me yesterday (please, carry on) there are definitley some products I'll be investigating in.

Another cold dreary day today, though for the first time in ages I have absolutley no intention in leaving the house which means I can get away with slightly fewer layers. Grey seemed the most appropriate colour choice for such a dull day, apparently we have yet more snow on its way tonight and tomorrow.

This outfit came about after seeings lots of jumpers with a ruffled hem, making it look like a sweater worn over a dress. Not willing to spend money on such a thing, I had a go at improvising. I think the skirt needs to be shorter, or perhaps the jumper longer...any shorter on the skirt length and it'd be indecent I fear.

Have a fab week,
stay warm and safe! xxx

Jeni said...

There's nothing better than an oversized jumper dress in the cold weather. I like the addition of the skirt and agree that you'd have to be careful how short you made it!

I love this outfit combination, so chic. I always improvise in this way too, separates are far more versatile and you can always mix and match. Grey is one of my favourite colours too.

I think the jumper and skirt combo looks really cute! I am short and can't seem to get away with short skirts (they make me look shorter), so I am way jealous!!

And I totally did not know that dark chocolate contains iron. Thanks so much for justifying chocolate munching to me!! It completely made my day!!
