...or what to wear out when the weather is rubbish! I never know what to wear when I go to the pub- I am always torn between going for extreme comfort (jeans and a jumper) and wanting to get slightly dressed up. Finding a balance can be tricky, especially if you have to spend any time outside, before or afterwards. I decided that my
new lace skirt from Monki (yes
Monki again!) would be the perfect way to glam up a plain top and add a bit of interest to a more practical outfit. This leather biker jacket has long been a favourite of mine and the cropped length works well with longer skirt lengths (and particularly well with
black semi sheer maxi skirts it seems!) ;) I
think I was trying to pop my collar up here but I'm really not sure!

This top is the red version of
the one I wore in this outfit which I bought as I loved the white one so much. It's impossible to get a flattering photo of but I love how it drapes and the looser sleeves are perfect for going between the blustery outdoors and the stifling heat of the pub.
The lace detail of this skirt (I love the fact it is called Doris!) is stunning and although the length is nearing maxi rather than midi on me (
I fell foul of model leg length delusions again!) I think the sheer overlay is more flattering way to wear longer lengths, for people like me who have stumpy rather than willowy legs with a midi length. I love the fact that the lace also seems quite versatile, I think it looks fairly elegant here but I imagine it would look equally fab, all grunged up...

This red lipstick is an old favourite- seen first in
this blogpost from May 2010 (!) and it is quite a bright blue-red which gives you the perfect scarlet pout.
My vow to wear more of my lipsticks is definitely working! These photos were taken the day before I
finally got my hair cut and I think you can tell it needs cutting here- it got so long and wispy. Luckily the 'swoosh it and pin it' method helps to disguise its less than pristine style...
What do you wear to the pub? How do you disguise a bad hair day?
