January Blues OOTD

Y'know when you get up in the morning with a good idea of what you want to wear but when it comes to trying it on, it just doesn't work? Well that's what happened to me when I got dressed on Tuesday. I had intended to wear a pair of monochrome patterned jeans with this jacket but for some reason (nothing to do with overindulging at Christmas obv), they wouldn't zip up. After having the same luck with a bunch of other things I tried on, as a last resort I lifted this drop hem skirt out of my wardrobe.

I actually found it in the River Island January sale a few years back for only 8 quid. In that time I've only worn it a handful of times because it rarely seems to look right with anything! That is until the eureka moment when I glimpsed it in the same eyeshot as this denim jacket. Ever since Boohoo sent it to me last year for this outfit I've been finding any excuse to wear it, I absolutely adore it. The result of a happy accident, I also love how the two look paired together - it was just the right mix of comfy & casual while still being 'out for dinner' appropriate!

I was sent the Boohoo jacket a while ago/not for this outfit and all opinions are honest and my own.
