The Tartan Corduroy Skirt With Boots

The Tartan Corduroy Skirt With Over The Knee Boots

Happy Saturday everyone! I wanted to say thank you for the huge amount of love I had on my Jessica Rabbit costume for Halloween! You all seemed to love it so much, which makes me happy. As Autumn always brings me to life and I get inspired by everything around me, I love experimenting with my outfits and trying different things, and this outfit incorporates a bit of that, but also with my own, usual personal style. We did shoot these photos about a month ago when it was still fairly warm though, so you can be certain I am not venturing outside in a look like this until next year sometime now, ha ha. It’s crazy to me that it’s November already, it really is.

For this outfit, I was wearing a Topshop Corduroy Tartan Skirt which I styled with the Topshop Fluffy Cropped Knit (you saw it here) as I’m really loving cropped knitwear right now. I thought this look would be perfect with my DUO Empress Over The Knee Boots though as I really love skirts with boots in the Autumn time. I kept the rest of it simple, finishing it off with my Swarovski Remix Bracelets and then adding in my Mulberry Lily in Oxblood. You’re finally seeing my birthday bag for the first time! If you remember, it was my 30th birthday present from everyone, and myself. I was going to do a review, but I decided not to as they discontinued it a month after I got it, so you can’t buy it anymore, so I’m incredibly thankful I got it in the sale and didn’t miss out! It’s gorgeous!

I don’t usually wear tartan, I think the only tartan item I have is a navy and green blazer, but I am incredibly fond of the print. My name ‘Lorna’ is Scottish and actually comes from the McDougal clan, and their tartan is red, so it’s quite fitting. I know this isn’t the exact print, but it’s close enough. Not that I had this in mind when purchasing it, but it was something that I thought about last night. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the fireworks tomorrow! Let me know what you think of the outfit as always in the comments below. Lorna xx.

What I Was Wearing:
Skirt – Topshop
Knitwear – Topshop

    I’m dying over this gorgeously preppy skirt and YES to the accessories! Your Mulberry fits the outfit perfectly and there’s no going wrong with over the knee boots 🙂

    Oh, very nicely done. I tend to think that wearing tartan can go one of two ways… terrible or terrific. You’re definitely on the terrific side of the divide with this look. The balance of colours and textures throughout the outfit and the accessories too is perfect. 🙂 Tartan appears to suit you well.

    Yes, it’s amazing how much the weather has turned in the last couple of weeks. There is a real bite in the air pushing me into my warmer clothes.

    I’m relieved to read you took the pictures about one month ago as maybe now in November this cool look would be really a bit too cold 🙂 I like how you combined the tartan skirt!

      It would be much too cold, I wouldn’t cope, it was bad enough with the Halloween costume, ha ha. Glad you like it 🙂

    This outfit is definitely Fall worthy! You look great and that tartan skirt is gorgeous. It gives me all the holiday vibes! That Mulberry bag is beautiful and what a shame it has been discontinued. I am glad you scored it though! Happy weekend Lorna!

    You definitely know how to combine things and what to choose when it comes to clothing, this is a very stylish outfit. The skirt matches perfectly your hair as well as the chain strap and the metal lock of the bag. Tartan and metal form an awesome combination.

    Hopefully the British weather will have mercy on us, your readers, for some of the coming weeks and bring some additional positivism on the Celsius scale 🙂 .

    I wish you a good start of the new week tomorrow.

    That tartan skirt is so cute and the outfit is giving off such Clueless vibes – I love it! 🙂

    Your bag is adorable too, what a shame it was discontinued I love my little leopard print Lily!

    Hope that you are having a lovely weekend 🙂 We took advantage of the warmth and sunshine by going to the park yesterday 🙂

    Tartan is a lovely print and you styled it beautifully. I love it paired with the white sweater to really let the print be the focal piece of the look.
