Black&Grey

Today's outfit was hastily thrown on after a fit of
"nothing looks right, or feels right or blaaaaaaah" and a mini tantrum.
Don't you just love those days? Where nothing fits the bill and you find your self wishing you could just burn everything and start afresh?

The skirt and boots are from New Look and the top is from Uniqlo.

What do you do, or wear on days like these?

I also have a little (big) announcement from Matalan, they have just launched their first blog:

"The blog will feature fashion tips and trend advice, plus competitions, exclusive offers, and behind the scenes sneak-peeks at events and fashion shoots. Every Friday we will also be hosting a guest blogger, and for the next few months we have Emma Campbell from http://whatemmadid.com writing for us once a week!"

You can check out the blog HERE

I'd love to hear what you think.

Wonderful outfit; you look great!

Alex said...

Oh I have those days all the time. I just usually chuck on jeans and don't blog the outfit, haha!

Lucie said...

Marta said...

lovely skirt!

Em x said...

I love your skirt. I'm having lots of those days at the moment, i only have a few bits that actually fit nicely now and i keep looking wistfully at all my other unworn clothes hanging in my wardrobe! I'm off to check out the Matalan blog now xx

Oh I've been going thru it majorly lately: the more I spend time with Jen, Kit, Shini... I don't remember being style self conscious in the past, but these days I feel old, fat (not so much fat as not fit, if that makes sense), and feel I'm getting it terribly wrong all the time.

That said, right now I"m wearing a favourite very old pale pink tee shirt with paler faint stripes - boat neck, 3/4 length sleeves... I always feel great in it, kind of Parisianne. I rarely wear it out, tho.

Just checked out Emma's blog, and Matalan. Good luck to her, let's support her. And thank you: YOU'RE one of the most generous people I know, too, and a little thing like giving a shout out for Emma is a perfect example.

LOVE what you ended up choosing to wear, btw. Great tie dye New Look skirt. And Uniqlo is fast becoming one of my favourite brands. When I don't know what to wear I wear my new +J camel jacket and all is right with the world. ; ) xx

❤Cate❤ said...

Love the skirt, I haven't been to Matalan in years dispite it being 5mins from my house I'll have to pay it a visit soon xoxo

Alice said...

I have those days, sometimes just nothing ever quite feels right. In this case I usually end up wearing a ridiculously old t-shirt and jeans, very boring to say the least.
I love the skirt, I can imagine it being very versatile x

Rhianne said...

Oh, I didnt realise matalan had a blog - I need to find one closer to Leeds!

I always throw on the same thing when that happens - my favourite jeans and old hoody lol

Platform Princess said...

I love that top and the skirt lady! You look awesome.

hello birdy said...

Hello! :o)

Wow, this skirt is awesome. I really want to start wearing long lengths, for some reason they terrify me. You're looking really great!

Savvy Gal said...

love the skirt

persephone said...

The skirt/top combo looks great on you!
I always think it would be interesting to just throw everything away and start afresh.. it'd be interesting to see what kind of changes you make in your wardrobe :)

head over heels said...

urgh i hate days like that, normally i just want to stay in my pyjamas and not leave the house!
you still look fab though :) x

(In)Sane said...

I hate those days. I really do. I end up wearing whatever I grab first or feel comes the closest to a decent outfit.
But I love your outfit, the skirt is amazing.

Emily said...

This morning I had one of those days where you put on some ugly sweater because it's early and cold, and then it turns out not to be that cold all day and you're stuck with it, overheated and grumpy! Overall I'd say your look is way better!

Roo said...

Beautiful skirt, I love a bit of tiedye x

Chuck said...

That's not a blah outfit, that's a great outfit! Love the skirt. x

I don't think you can ever get more chic than monochrome- you look gorgeous :)

Style-Sophie said...

Really like the tye-dye effect miss! :) Though the closest thing I have to this is a homemade bedsheet tye-dyed and hung up in our living room haha. jazzy ♥

Natasha said...

I love the skirt and I will do. I think I need to get some jump rings to attach my charms and then that'll be the way I can do it :) xxx

Lena said...

Great skirt, I like very much ... very nice set:)

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Well, for it being a blah day you look quite fabulous! I love that skirt. :)

I'm having a blah day myself. Sigh. There are many days I wish I could burn my closet and start anew...xo.

Claire said...

Jeans, every time....thats if i have to get dressed...otherwise i just stay in my PJ's :)

The Dandizette said...

Ooo I got that skirt from New Look in grey a while ago but think I prefer the white :S will have to go and pop.

Will def check out Matalan's blog.

Winnie said...

I have days like that all the time. Most of the time I just aim for comfort so tights, skirts and t-shirts all tucked in!

Kallie, Happy Honey and Lark said...

oh let the clothes burning begin! or maybe a clothing swap haha. i feel like that everyday. you look very nicely put together though.

Love that skirt! It reminds me of prints from proenza schouler and is therefore awesome.
