Leopard Skirts & Country Bumpkins

Well this weather has been truly fantastic hasn't it!? I'm guessing you can tell from my sarcasm that along with every other person in the country, I'm a tad fed up with the constant doom and gloom.

Come springtime when the weather heats up (supposedly) it's usually the time when our thick, black tights are binned and we dread getting the pins out! Winter has left us with hideous looking legs that haven't seen the light of day in what feels like years. Nights out have suddenly got us all in a panic at the mere thought of pale legs against our lovely new dress.

However, for the first time in what feels like forever I ventured away from my trusty, classic, skater style dresses I tend to wear on an evening out and opted for a pencil skirt. I had my eye on a particular leopard print number from Miss Selfridge, but had somehow convinced myself not to buy it. BUT when I spotted it for £10 in a flash sale it had to be mine.

I immediately loved how it didn't cling to any unwanted lumps or bumps and sat just above my knees. Even though I was bare legged I didn't feel self-conscious and I paired it with a teeny, Topshop crop top that went perfectly with it.

In other news, Me and Ash have been gatecrashing our best friend Jenny's house up in the countryside, pulling on the wellies and embracing this awful weather. As per usual with us girls, there's always one of us with a camera on hand ready to capture our daily frolics.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday!
