I wanted to call this post “A Day At The Library” but realised that was rather misleading as I don’t think my bookshelf at home is a library per say ~ even though it might be my ‘personal library’.
Yes, the writer side of me is being persnickerty again.
And technically, it wasn’t a day of books either. We went to playgroup instead. (⌒▽⌒) ☆
So today I’m introducing one of my favourite outfits for around the house or casual outings, like playgroup, for this winter. It isn’t a terribly period accurate look as far a being either 1940’s or 1950’s, which are my two main decades to dress from, but I do feel like it has a bit of an Edwardian feel, or perhaps 1910s?
Anyway, it really is a comfortable combination. I love this emerald plaid skirt paired with my favourite grey Victorian/Army mash-up boots, and the ankle length keeps me surprisingly warm, which is fabulous for cold winter weather. Add a delicate lacy choker necklace with my black knit top, finish the look off with an oversized floral bow, and it’s a perfect simple-but-effective outfit.
I feel like long skirts for winter should be more of a thing. I know that skirts in general tend to have a bad rap for letting your legs get cold, but I’m always surprised at how warm my legs stay when wrapped with all the excess fabric of a longer skirt. Mind you, this one is lined as well, so that helps. Also, we don’t get snow. I’m pretty sure that’s probably a factor too.

Do you like long skirts for winter? Or do you prefer to stick with the longer lengths in summer? I’m always surprised at the versatility of skirts ~ they seem to be able to keep you as warm or as cool as you want to be. Perhaps I shouldn’t be though ~ there is a good reason they are such a firm favourite in my wardrobe!
xox,
