Colour popping suede

I'm kinda sad that suede doesn't seem to be THE fabric of the upcoming Spring/ Summer seasons, instead it seems we will be buying leather instead…While I love leather, in particular leather skirts  as they can be seriously flattering, I wanted to have one last hurrah (it probably won't be the last, will it?) with the suede love affair I've been having over the past six months. This skirt has seen me through a lot of occasions: from mundane, everyday life events to going 'out out' on a Saturday night, while being verryyyyyy careful where I place my drinks.

I wanted to show a different side to this skirt in comparison to the look I have posted with it before so decided to mix things up a little – again – by wearing a dress as a top. It's something I seem to be doing more and more at the moment, as I am 5ft11 (well, around that mark) finding dresses that don't show off your bottom half is a tricky thing to do so adding another layer often helps to save your dignity. I chose this white lace dress from Primark as the first layer and then added this turquoise suede A-Line skirt over the top of it, not only injecting some more colour into the look but a bit more length as well.
