What I Wore: 16.


The weather was lovely today so I thought I would crack this pleated number out. It is actually a skirt but as the waistband is elasticated it can easily be worn as a dress and in real life its actually a bit more of a darker raspberry colour. Its rather unlike me to wear something so colourful.

Bank holiday weekend actually turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. I had such a good night out on Sunday, nothing special but its always a good time when the majority of your friends are out together. I don't really drink anymore, but I'm the sort of person who can go out, not drink and still have a good time. In fact I think I'm more insane without alcohol, probably not such a good thing. I always think people probably assume I'm incredibly drunk because I chat away to anyone and pretty much never leave the dancefloor.

On Monday I went to a local event which has bands playing throughout the day, food and loads of different stalls, everyone just chills out on picnic blankets and it has a bit of a festival vibe to it. Sitting on the train home with hundreds of hyped up, mostly drunk teenagers was not my idea of a relaxing journey though. And the highlight, getting chatted up by a 16 year old boy, I think he thought I was loving it because I was smiling but I was only trying to stop myself from bursting out laughing!

  2. I love this; in Ibiza I got so bored of all the same clothes I ended up turning loads of skirts into dresses and things. I love the colour on you, I'm glad you had a good bank holiday weekend in the end! x

  12. I wouldn't have said that was a skirt till I read the text below, it looks ace and the belt makes it look really casual.
    Glad you had a good bank holiday, it's been ages since I've been on a night out - jel

  13. Woot woot - you look gorgeous here. Love the hair! I have a skirt really similar which I use as a dress. Love the colour of yours and how you have paired it with the belt and boots.
    Glad your bank holiday was fun. xx

  15. Ha about the boy! bless em' Also great idea about turning the skirt into a dress, so easily and adaptable! You have one smashin' tan too! and you're so right about not drinking but still having a insane time! I rarly drink and always end up having a laugh. I always say its the company that makes the event rather than the actual event itself, I mean I've had the best laughs of my life having a picnic in a park!
