Swirls of pink and brown

The sheen in this chocolate tuxedo blazer makes it easy to dress up - as with this silk skirt and these pointy-toed kitten heels - or down with jeans or shorts. Despite the lightweight fabric, I've found I can wear this skirt through the fall by adding on heavier extras - like boots, a leather jacket and cream-coloured scarf or sweater. By the way, I do not endorse these shoes, too pointy = not comfy. But they match nicely and I sit in a chair and walk around a carpeted office most of the day so my feet aren't suffering too much. I wear 'sensible shoes' to and from work, even though I told myself back in university I would never become one of those people. That old me would probably be equally horrified to learn how quickly a quiet Friday night, curled up with a book and cup of tea, would start to seem appealing...Tell me, what your 5-years-ago self be surprised to learn?
