It's Electric

Who doesn't just love the electric slide? But that's a discussion for another time.


This is my third outfit in a row featuring an item from my recent Dorothy Perkins order. Had I tried on this shirt in the store I wouldn't have ended up purchasing it because I don't love the fit, but it would have cost more to send back than it did to order so I just kept it and tried to see how I could make it work.



I didn't know what I was going to wear when I woke up the morning I put together this outfit, but I felt like a skirt so I grabbed a grey corduroy skirt from Old Navy that I've had for ages. Right next to it I saw this cropped jacket from Target that I got in a Friday fat sales that I never wear and thought "ooh now I've got an outfit idea."


The accessories really help make this outfit pop. The tights are also from Dorothy Perkins, which I have gleefully discovered a bit late in the tights wearing season, makes affordable tights that fit my hips and ass in a variety of colors. The earrings and necklace are from the Gabi D showroom in NYC, the shoes are from Nine West and the headband is from Primark.


Photo credit goes to Nicole, even though it was my co-worker Ateqah who inspired the color palette of the outfit.

  5. I love how you wear such colourful outfits! I'm stuck in an all-black clothes rut at the moment, and seeing your colourful outfits is inspiring me to ditch the black and wear more spring-like colours :)

  6. Color is the best! If y'all can believe it I actually wore all black this past week and didn't completely implode -who would've thought? Although I don't know what I would do if I had to dress like that every day for a week.
