First Outfit Post; Holiday Midi Skirt

This kind of post is a first for me, so bare with me as I play around with it. 
I also want to just say, I am not the most confident person with my body size or shape, and there are loads of things I would change, however after reading through one of SprinkleOfGlitter's latest youtube video, and seeing how brave she is, I thought I would give it a go.
Recently I went to Prague on holiday, and quite a few of my friends really liked the outfit I am about to show. 
Its a really simple, yet elegant summer look, perfect for holiday or even just at home when you're going out for lunch etc.


I love the midi skirt, and this has become a staple in my wardrobe, this one is from Primark and only cost me £10, a bargain if you ask me!
I love that its such a girlie colour, that can be teamed with almost any other colour, its a slight waffle effect, with a linen lining underneath, and comes with a brown waisted belt.
I love how light weight this skirt is, and floaty and girlie. ahhh I just love it. The smallest part of me, and my favourite 'body feature' is my waist, as its quite small, and I have an hourglass figure, so this skirt nips in at the waist and flares out to hide the fact I have chunky legs and a big bum.
I teamed this with a light pink shirt, from Dorothy Perkins sale which was £10. Again a gorgeous piece that I have put with loads of other things too.
This is a light flimsy shirt, but not see through, with a panel on the front, to cover the buttons, and a collar. 
This was perfect in the 36 degree heat which I was suffering in in Prague. 

I had cream flip flop sandals on, with gold studding in the middle, and flowers all the strap, these were Primark from a few years ago, but I know they stock similar styles now. They were super comfy to walk in all day, and gave your feet room to breathe in the sweltering heat. 

My accessories consist of a white Primark Satchel, which was £9, and was just perfect. 
It carried everything I needed it to, with extra pockets inside for my phone, lip balm, purse etc, and it was a lovely summer colour. 
I think satchels add a little extra class to any outfit, and they're handy to keep your hands free.

Lastly I had some 60 style sunglasses, also from Primark for £2. I have been after these for ages, and when I found them I was ecstatic. 
These are just cute and girlie, and tied the whole outfit together, especially as it matched colours.




So, just a few snaps, from my holiday to Prague, I hope this gives some style inspiration, and you guys like it.

SEVENTEEN Blemish BB Balm


The first BB balm I have ever purchased, and I am quite impressed. I've been on the hunt for a blemish balm for the summer and I thought I would give this one a go. 
This is the Seventeen BB skincare and is great for lighter coverage. It's great for the summer where you don't want to wear much make-up or even have a tan. 
However, the shade range isn't fantastic, and it can feel quite heavy on the skin. Other than that for the price it does what it says, and it helps even skin tone, covers imperfections and helps oil control. I also really like that its SPF 25, which really makes a difference in the sun. 
I would recommend this if you suffer from oily skin, but I wouldn't recommend this for pale skin as it comes out quite dark. 

What other Blemish Balms would you guys suggest?
