biding time...

IF THERE WAS SOMEWHERE I HAD TO BIDE  MY TIME - THIS PLACE WOULDN'T BE THE WORST. IT ALSO HELPS THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY NO MATTER WHERE I WAS AS LONG AS I WAS WEARING THIS SKIRT.

THERE ARE JUST SOME PIECES THAT YOU JUST CAN'T FORGET ABOUT, AND FOR ME IT WAS THIS SKIRT...
I AM UTTERLY IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING FROM THE VIBRANT BLUE (surprisingly soft) NEOPRENE FABRIC, THE ASYMMETRIC HEM AND ZIP DETAILING. ANYWAY..

ONE OF THE PARTICULARLY TRICKY TRENDS THIS SEASON WAS/IS METALLIC. IT'S TYPICALLY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, BUT IN FASHION I HOLD THE SENTIMENT THAT (almost) ANYTHING CAN BE WORN BY ANYONE,SO LONG AS YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR OWN STYLE AND SHAPE SO THAT YOU CAN FIND THINGS THAT WORK BEST FOR YOU. 

METALLIC DETAILING CAN BE WORKED INTO YOUR OUTFIT IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS - THINK SKIRTS, TOPS, JACKETS, SHOES, BAGS AND HEAVY METAL JEWELLERY! THERE ISN'T ONE WAY TO WEAR A TREND, YOU JUST NEED TO GET ALITTLE BIT CREATIVE.

SO DON'T BE SCARED OF INJECTING SOME METALLICS INTO YOUR WARDROBE. START SMALL (e.g.spike necklace).
EVEN FOR ME ON DAYS WHERE I'M NOT FEELING LIKE ROCKING THIS FULL METALLIC PEPLUM, I JUST THROW ON A SINGLET OR T-SHIRT OVER THE TOP, TIE IT UP IN A LITTLE KNOT TO ONLY SHOW THE PEPLUM ITSELF.

  1. Your right darling Karissa Metalics can be tricky and even tacky when worn wrong but love your advice and the outfit in this blog. ��

  2. Cute shoot Karissa, great setting!! The skirt is so excellent...I like how the triangular heels co-incide well with the triangular hemline.
    Yeah metallics can be hard, though I find silver much easier to wear than gold, but that's just a personal preference!

    1. I love this skirt as well Liana. Just had to get it!

      This top is a good metallic because its like an almost rose gold -it looks different depending on what colour you pair it with..

      Thanks for your comment x
