Skirts or dresses for Ada’s birthday

skirts or dresses

This week, we’re helping the fabulous style and mommy blogger, Ada Furxi to celebrate her birthday. She does it every year – celebrates in style with a whole bunch of awesome bloggers. This year all she asked was that we wear either skirts or dresses in our blog post today (and some others will be posting tomorrow).

I decided to opt for a skirt for Ada’s birthday celebrations. I’d been considering wearing horizontal stripes with vertical stripes for some time, but hadn’t quite got round to it until now. What do you think? Do you think it goes together? I actually quite like it – it’s a fun ensemble, right?

My black and white vertical striped skirt was a gift from my mother-in-law several years ago and I’ve only worn it once on the blog. You can find the post here. I wore it with my favourite black gothic Doc Martens and talked about how peed off I was at the term ‘age appropriate’ when it comes to style! Just forgive the poor quality photos though lol.

I picked up this cute little horizontal striped top in a local charity shop a couple of years ago and I usually only wear it with high waisted jeans because it’s not very long. My red cardigan is one that features a lot here. I bought it from H&M and I have the same cardie in several colours because I love their versatility.

skirts or dressesAs for my shoes. Aren’t they divine? Sadly, they’re a little on the small side so I can’t wear them when it’s too warm or really cold (with tights) so I only have a short window in the year when I can wear them. Crazy, I know. But I do love them, with their scalloped edge and ankle strap. They’ve kind of got a 1940s vibe to them which is what drew me to them in the first place. Along with the gorgeous colour red, that is. I bought them from Schuh, which is one of my favourite shoe shops.

I can’t even remember how long I’ve had these earrings. Not can I remember where I bought them! All I do remember is that I bought them to go with a handkerchief-style necklace I have that’s the same kind of chainmail look to it. Do you have think I’ve ever worn them together? Nope, of course not! But now that I’ve brought it up, perhaps I will. Let’s see, shall we? 😉

And that’s it, that’s my skirts or dresses outfit for the lovely Ada’s birthday bash! Head on over to check out Ada’s skirts of dresses post for her birthday. You can find her at Elegancy & Mommyhood.

Here are some words from the lovely lady herself……
“Every year that I have been blogging, since I became a mom, I thought it would be fun to have a Blog Birthday Party on my blog, including other fashionistas and blogging friends. It started in 2013 and this is the 6th year of this fun birthday tradition. When I first started it in 2013 as a beginner, I invited my closest 5-6 blogging buddies who came to visit, read and comment my blog on a daily basis. Over the last 3 years this fun party has grown and it has become a two-day celebration. This year I am joined by another 20 fashionistas who I am lucky to call my friends and who are all super stylish to boots. A lot of these ladies have been celebrating my birthday with me on the blog other years too and I am very glad and flattered to see them return. Thank you beauties for making this tradition super fun, joyful and fashionable once again! Cheers with a Pinot Noir! Here is to another year of getting older and hopefully wiser!!”

Have a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADA! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you. Hugs <3 <3
