Suede + Flatforms

— 24 July 2015 —

This season, I’m loving suede. Skirts, jackets, everything. Most of the suede pieces I’ve seen around have been in the typical tan colour, but I found this black faux suede skirt on Missguided, making it perfect for work as well as casual. As I have to stick to a uniform in my job, it’s fun to find other ways to make my work outfits my own, and this skirt helps me do that because of its scallop hem and a-line shape. It’s something which nobody else wears, and I love that.

While I’ll mainly be wearing my suede with a black shirt and tights, I also wanted to show you how I’ll style the skirt for day-to-day wearing. I was torn between wearing my Topshop leather heels, or these quirky flatform brogues, the shoes which I like to refer to as my Kourtney Kardashian shoes. I’ve seen photographs of Kourtney’s Stella McCartney platforms so many times, and thought they were really interesting. In fact, I wasn’t actually sure if I liked them or not at first, but mine are a toned down version of these quirky McCartney platforms.

How will you be styling suede this season?
