Outfit post: You can't wear skulls to work!

Oh but I do anyway. This is not one of my parent's favourite shirts on me but I love it.

I like how I can mix and match different bits in my work wardrobe so I don't get bored which I think can be quite easy when working in an office. I like to look smart, but I love fun outfits. This isn't massively colourful but I think it's a keeper. I got this leather midi skirt from Miss Selfridge in the sale - reduced from £50 to £22! It was out of my comfort zone but I thought it was a classic shape so definitely worth the money.

I was boring and just paired it with my black cardigan (why is it still cold?), black tights and my favourite black lace up heels. Yeah that is a lot of black, but the tan skirt helps me escape from the goth look.

Finally managed to get my hair cut last weekend. I just told them to keep chopping as you can see. Still feeling a bit doll-esque but I like having shorter hair again. My hair grows ridiculously fast anyway so it'll be long again in no time. The only thing I miss about my long hair is my swishy ponytail. I think I'll live.

Do you stick to the same/similar hairstyle or do you randomly chop off a load of your hair like I do?

Outfit post: I love dresses

Being a tomboy as a teen, if you had told me that I would own as many dresses as I do now, I would have looked at you in disgust. My love of dresses has only lasted the last few years, but it's a love affair that I can never see dying. Plus they hide my thighs superbly!

Now you've seen this dress before hanging on my wardrobe when I first bought it a couple of weeks ago, but I finally wore it to work.

Look - natural light! At 8 in the morning I am impressed! Looking forward to getting a proper camera and a tripod.

I love the shape of this dress - it fits me like a glove.

Yes I must insist on holding out the skirt (I am such a girl). You would have had to suffer some twirling pics but I really don't fancy falling down the stairs.

This is my version of wearing pastels. Probably about as close as I'll get for now.

I love this hairband. It's from H&M and I was originally going to get the black but I liked the contrast against my hair.

Didn't get a photo of them on but I teamed the dress with tights and these shoes which I love! Medium heel and something different for work instead of courts.

How is everyone enjoying the sunshine?
