Grey marl and (p)leather....

When it's grey and cold outside, I always go back to basics. Usually that would be a pretty dress or something bright but Mark bought me this grey marl t-shirt from Hobbs a while ago and I can honestly  say I have never worn a comfier t-shirt. It is the perfect slouchy fit which means it is comfortable to wear but the illustration elevates it to something a bit more special. 

T-shirt: Hobbs, pleather skirt: Topshop, tights: ASDA
I also like the fact it is long enough in the body to wear with this pleather skirt. Pleather is a bit of a contentious fabric but I think as long as you keep the rest of your outfit simple, then you can't really go wrong... it's definitely a lot more fun than denim!


This outfit is a bit of a departure from the norm for me, I wouldn't usually wear anything this slouchy (or colourless!) but it was fun to break out of my comfort zone... 


Luckily, the owl print made it much more Maria friendly! ;)


An owl in loafers and cat eye glasses is potentially quite creepy but I actually think it is pretty darn cute!

Would you wear (p)leather? What are your basics?

I love the tee! The design on it is so cute. And the faux leather skirt looks great on. I think it's time to dig my one from last summer out.

That top is so cute! Definitely not what I'm used to seeing in you but it looks wonderful. My basics tend to be a pair of skinny jeans and a coloured t-shirt, something that is easy to throw on without any thought. I like the idea of trying to get more separates though, maybe try and mix it up a bit. That skirt, while simple, definitely makes a statement.
Have a great weekend xo

I feel this is such a me outfit, slouchy tee shirt and black skirt! I really want that tee-shirt now.. its looks like me with the glasses and loafers! I think you can pull this off just as well as pretty dresses.

I am a big fan of leather or pleather skirts, and I love how you've paired it with such a cute tee to make it more day-friendly!

Such a cute tee! :D I'd definitely wear pleather - been toying with the idea of eBaying the pleated pleather H&M skirt in fact! :)
