I will never stop dressing like a Parisian.

If this outfit has taught me anything, it is to embrace my curves.  I don't tend to wear things that show off my curves and my body shape, although there are a few exceptions to the rule.  But there is something about this skirt that I could not resist.  The silk inspired material is not always the most flattering, but it gives you the confidence to style it to the max.  The asymmetric hemline and the slits, give it a fun and feminine feel.  With the movement of the skirt and the freedom of the material, it gives you the ability to find a way of feeling confident in the garment.  Although this skirt may not be a wardrobe statement for me, I'm proud that I was able to wear something figure hugging as this skirt, and still feel able to wear it.

To the rest of the outfit.

To take this ensemble to the Parisian max, I added and tied up a polka dot shirt.  I am completely obsessed with polka dots, it is actually becoming unhealthy.  It's just the easiest, and to me, the funniest print.  For added warmth, I thought my shearling coat would be more practical at the train station at 8am.  This is a new addition from the charity shop, and it ticks all the boxes for this upcoming season.  To finish off the look, I added perspex earrings, my favourite beret and a simple pair of heels.  As I wanted this to be a workwear inspired look, I finished off the look with my 'grown up' bag from Fiorelli.

If you take anything away from this post, let it be these words of wisdom:

- If in doubt, dress like a Parisian.

- Wear what you like.  If you feel comfortable, then that is all that matters.
