Todd Lynn x Topshop Tux Jacket / Reiss Tank Top / RockLove Sacred Geo Collar Necklace /
FAIIINT Cotton Maxi Skirt / Balenciaga City / Kurt Geiger Wedges
The weather can’t make it’s mind up recently, one day it’s blazing sunshine & sticky heat, the next it’s grey, windy & hailing! I’ve been trying to make the most of the nice days by wearing those items I’ve been waiting all winter to finally dig out again & this skirt I made myself a while back is one of them. It’s a bit too light for winter, and there’s nothing worse than walking around in a maxi skirt with a soggy hem from rain soaked pavements. A couple of people told me it needed a good iron, but I love the crinkly, creased texture of it, especially against the sharpness of the jacket.
One of the great things about fashion blogging & photographing my outfits is that I often notice small little details I never spotted before when looking back through the photos, like the diagonal side seam on this jacket. I can’t stop looking at it now, it’s a really subtle but beautiful little detail. I think it can help give you a new perspective & appreciation for the clothes you’re wearing, and sometimes old pieces like this can surprise you.
Posting on here may be a little sporadic over the next few weeks whilst I finish everything up ready for my project launch, so please bear with me! I’ll try to keep the outfits coming as long as the weather behaves though & I’m still reading all your blogs over my lunch breaks, though I may not have time to leave comments until it’s all finished.

Ahhhhhh these are so beautiful! I love this so much Steph. The creases suit it… its that sort of fabric. I am the same though, it bothers me so much when I thing something is out of place in photos I didn’t notice at the time x

We are having the same issues with Mother Nature over here. Hot and cold when it should just be cold now. So a new project! Prey tell! Sorry I’ve been soooo MIA so please forgive me though I suspect you’d be referring to a line of wonderfully creative pieces. I recall some tags on Instagram if I am not mistaken. Either way going to go and check out your older posts, I am sure I’ll find out more details or have my memory refreshed. Congratulations love!
BTW thank you for the kind advice on my last post too!

The weather in Latvia has been pretty horrible as well, because for the past 2 days it has been raining non stop! And I have so many spring outfit ideas, but sadly I am still sticking to my winter clothes!
Anyways, I am so impressed that you made that skirt yourself, I have always wanted to learn how to sew! I agree with you, I like the texture the skirt has, it fits to the outfit perfectly!
And also wanto to comment about the background- the place looks amazing!

You look absolutely beautiful Steph, pieces like this are the reason I can’t wait for your launch! You’re so talented at making, I just know every piece is going to be stunning. This is the perfect maxi skirt – plenty of fabric, lots of movement yet it still looks lightweight and floaty. It’s the kind of piece I was searching high and low for when I bought my own maxi skirt – I ended up with one not too dissimilar from New Look, not somewhere I usually shop but all I could seem to find elsewhere was made of jersey which was a definite no for me for a maxi skirt. I agree with you on blog photos giving you a chance to appreciate things in a new light – it happens all the time for me and some of my more casual outfits appear nicer than I imagined when I threw them on. Good luck for the launch lovely lady, I can’t wait!! xxx
