Style on a Sunday: To The Ballet

Today my outfit was a homage to ballet fashion, I teamed a cream cardigan with a pleated skirt and ballet pumps, topped it off (excuse the pun) with this coral t shirt from Primark.

Apologies for my slightly odd expression in this photo, it looks like I was angry with Ryan at the time, which I definitely wasn't, and apologies for the awful editing, I was trying to make the colours a bit better and now I just look a bit grainy:

Top: Primark, Cardigan: Primark, Skirt: ASOS, Shoes: Primark, Bag: Brussels Train Station

I was a bit scared of teaming the midi skirt with flats but I don't think it looks too bad, I think that it would look better with heels but I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear them . I'd really like to find a sandal with a small heel, you know the ones that look a bit vintage? I am on the hunt for a pair! I liked the whole ballet look though (I actually went to watch Swan Lake, but more on that tomorrow) and the first outing of the midi skirt was a success. I also just want to mention this bag - how awesome is it? My mum got it for me when we visited Brussels, we saw it at the train station and I fell in love - I think it toughens up any outfit a little bit and I'm not too great at being too girly so I think it really sets this outfit off.

What do you think of a midi skirt and flats? Would you try it or do you think they should always be worn with heels? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I love the whole ballet style, the skirt is gorgeous, I'm a bit scared of trying a midi because my legs are quite short but you look gorgeous!

Aw thank you! :) I was scared too, but I guess I'm lucky because my legs are long anyway, so even though they look a bit short I'm still tall!x

I really like it. I have one sort of midi length skirt (haven't actually worn it yet this year!) and I always end up wearing that with flats. Heels never look quite right for some odd reason.

Thanks Alex :) x

You look gorgeous, Laura! The skirt is perfect and looks great with the flats. Very Swan Lake-esque! x
