Can't I just be a lady

Dress (worn as top) - Topshop // Shirt - H&M // Leather pencil skirt - c/o Lavish Alice // 

I had two of my besties birthday nights out this weekend and, between the two, managed to fall flat on my arse even though I was standing completely still (I don't know how either), had to impersonate Matthew McConaughey (I went down the Magic Mike route. Not a pretty sight.) and made up my own dance routine to One Direction (I really wish this one wasn't true). For this reason, I decided it was time to add some sophistication to my life, and what better way to do that than with the most sophisticated item in the sartorial world - the pencil skirt. Sadly I still managed to spill garlic sauce all down myself but you can't see it in the photos so let's all just pretend I managed to be a lady for once. I've never had a leather pencil skirt before but I must say I'm enjoying it, especially since it's got pockets. All in all, another Lavish Alice winner.

Before I forget, I'm now taking sidebar ads for February so if you'd like one then give me a wee e-mail, it's £3.50 for the month for a 400x400 ad.
