Yesterday Jase and I had a stroll around Clifton village and had a little brunch in a new cafe (disappointing sadly, so we’ll be sticking to the tried and tested going forward). Followed by a quick spot of shopping (I got a new Tee & Clinique Bronzer brush) and a cosy night in. It was pretty cold out yesterday, in fact, it even snowed a tad, so I went for a warm (ish) and comfortable (ish) outfit.
I’m addicted to my leather H&M skirt and so I decided this was a must wear, but I styled it majorly down with my big monk knitted jumper, converse and leather jacket. As it was super freezing my trusty bear hat came out to play. I’ve worn this skirt so much but am yet to feature it in it’s full high waist pencil skirt glory on my blog yet, I will do soon I promise.

In the week I tend to wear ankle boots and heels, they smarten up an outfit and go with most things. But when the weekend hits I like to get my comfies on. I have a few pairs of converse and some keds and love the effortless-ness of this kind of shoe. I got all my converse on trips to the US (where they’re a total bargain) but you can pick up these kind of shoes in tons of colours on Size.co.uk*.
Today is set to be another chilled day, with a little baking (banana cake) and general sunday stuff – brunch, movies, maybe a walk. I’m wearing my new Tee today which I got yesterday from Zara and so hopefully will get some snaps of this casual outfit.
What do you think of my casual Saturday outfit? Do you ever wear your favourite ‘dressy’ items styled down for a day time look? I’d love to hear how you’d style something like a leather skirt casually.
Absolutely loving the hat mel!

You look gorgeous! This is such a lovely outfit! And I love that hat! xxx
beautiful! and how cute is that bear beanie?! i love how you styled down your leather skirt with that chunky cozy sweater and that perfect leather jacket. i just bought a black leather skirt that i plan to pair with a sheer black floral print blouse and my new michael kors heels. that’s a bit dressy but if i paired them with converse as you have done here that would totally dress it down. you can do so much with leather! would be an absolute dream come true if you followed back to tell me what you think xo

Loving the skirt/sweater combo. I had converse runners when I was a kid. I’ve been feeling nostalgic over them lately and really want a pair again.
