Red & white Stripes

Skirt Topshop | Top Primark | Sunglasses ASOS (unavailable similar here) | Shoes Primark

I'm feeling particularly nautical this Friday! I think it's the Summer sunshine that brings it out of me – there's nothing better than crisp white skirts or trousers teamed with a striped top, I own so many striped tops it's getting a bit much. (That's a huge lie, I love them) This top in particular is one of my favourites, if you follow me on Instagram then you will already know this: I love the high neckline and the fit of it, it's a little different to any other top I own and I think it's really flattering to my (particularly busty) figure. 

And.this.skirt…well it was love at first sight. I think I actually saw Olivia from What Olivia Did post it on Instagram but thought nothing of it, then I saw it on the Topshop website and I had to have it – like most things I see when online shopping. The length is perfect for tall gals like me – they also do an A-Line shorter version if the midi length of this one puts you off! – and the fact that it's corduroy fabric means that a) it's got great structure to it and b) it'll take you straight back to your childhood if you were a 90s kid like me. I opted for my brown retro sunglasses from ASOS and brown Primark sandals (yet again) to bring this look together, you could also add a brown cross-over bag if you were heading out.

Have a great weekend guys, hope you liked this sailor-inspired post!
