Midi Love

Blazer: Tesco (old)
Tshirt: Camden Market
Skirt: Retro Rehab
Boots: Topshop

I have SO many of these midi length pleated skirts, this is one of my favourites though. I know a lot of women are a bit dubious about wearing them because they can look a little frumpy sometimes but as long as you get the right fit, they're great! This one's from one of my favourite vintage shops in Manchester called Retro Rehab, it's a fairly small shop but filled with beautiful one off items and really reasonably priced. It's where I get most of my skirts from. Worn with a Sonic Youth tee I've had for years, which I've tied at the back to make it cropped and my favourite ever blazer which was a total bargain from Tesco a good few years ago now. I always go back to it again and again though as it goes with so many things and can really smarten up an outfit. Hope you like it!

As part of the #ILoveMCR campaign currently running in Manchester as a reaction to the riots, the Metrolink was free to use on Sunday to encourage people to come into the city centre. As I already live in the centre, I thought I'd take the opportunity to try out the new line to Chorlton and visit the suburbs for the day. We visited a gorgeous little cafe come record shop come book stop called 'On The Corner' and had a milkshake then had a great Sunday roast at The Parlour on Beech Road. This place is renown for it's roasts and it didn't disappoint. 

I'm wearing a gorgeous turquoise silk shirt from Cow Vintage that I picked up in their sale for just £3! Skirt is from one of my favourite vintage shops on Oldham St in Manchester's Northern Quarter called Retro Rehab. They have some absolutely amazing stuff. 

Hope the picture of the roast doesn't make you all too hungry!!
