dressy for day

Top and skirt: H&M; Tights: Marks and Spencer; Socks: Topshop, Boots: Office

This is a fairly dressy outfit for me. My usual day time apparel consists of a pair of shorts and some sort of jumper or knitwear. But I've decided this term I want to make a bit more of an effort. I picked up this skirt yesterday in H&M, it's quite different from my normal taste, but I love the school girl chic look it has, and I never wear enough red so it's pretty excellent.

The boots are another new thing for me. My old Topshop lace-up pair have pretty much died, although I'm *hopefully* getting them re-heeled, but I bought these from Office when I was in London a few weeks ago. I love them. They're cut out too, so I can wear adorable socks - like these Topshop pair, with them. I also have some of those cute frilly topped socks that I'll wear with these boots too.
