Maxi skirts have been on the scene for ages now and I bought this skirt almost a year ago but hadn't worn it until recently because I didn't feel quite brave enough. I think this skirt does highlight the fact I have big hips which I was a little self conscious about but then I thought "my hips are big, so what?". And bang, I'm in the maxi skirt. However, I am still taking baby steps. I wore this outfit on holiday with my parents last week where I was pretty sure I wouldn't see anyone (I recreated the outfit at home for photos). I really love it though so I think i'll definitely bring it out in the hometown when the weather's appropriate!

This top was an absolute bargain (£2 down from £5) and is also really quite long so I suppose if your feeling  confident and have some jet black tights that you could wear it as a dress as well. It doesn't show in the photos but it has a really cute tribal/aztec kind of pattern on it. I don't know the word for it but the pattern is slightly 3D on the top (?) which gives it some subtle texture which is always nice. 

I hope you've had a wonderful week so far and are looking forward to the weekend. I've been having a mass clear out of my room which resulted in two bags of rubbish and one for the charity shop. I still have to go through desk and storage box draws to de-clutter but it feels so good! I'm working this weekend but might be going to Nando's for my friends boyfriends birthday. Although it's a big 'might' because I don't think he's into organizing it very much. What are your plans?
