A girl can't keep away from the shops for too long and one of the first things I bought when I arrived back in the UK, is this linen top with neon orange leopard print from Zara. It's actually pretty long on me and I'm not really sure if it's because I'm short or if it's meant to be a tunic but I've managed to get away with wearing it with just tights. However on this occasion, I've tucked it into my pleated black skirt which I bought while I was in Hong Kong.
My hair is totally having a good day in these pictures. Back in HK, the humidity really made my newly permed hair feel a bit frizzy which is kind of mad as I've always been lucky enough to have super straight hair. Here in the UK, the drier weather makes the curls much more manageable and it has definitely relaxed a little since my initial perm. It's a pretty easy hair style to keep, as all I do after washing my hair is twist sections of my hair to retain that dolly-like curl. Depending on how much I twist them, the curls turn out a little different each time. To be honest, my sisters can create virtually the same look with their curling irons but I am rubbish at curling my own hair so this works out well!

In the past, I really didn't think I was one for maxi skirts since I thought they would drown me as I'm a tiny 4'11" and I'm definitely not going to be getting any taller and FOREVER at boob height for a lot of my friends (actually, it would be really weird if I were tall and to be able to see over people's heads!) Things certainly change and I have developed a new found love for long skirts. I just wish it would stop raining so I could wear them more often!



wonderful outfit
ReplyDeleteLol at the 'boob' height.. and it is rather weird if I can see over people's heads... kidding!
ReplyDeleteIs everything on sale at Zara yet? It is here and I MUST RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO SHOP.
This is beautiful. Your conversation about your height made me smile. I'm short too. I love this maxi skirt!
ReplyDeleteI love long skirts too! So cool. A great outfit. I love your hair too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome details to this. Always love your nail polish color choices too.
ReplyDeleteooooh I think the maxi skirt is perfect for you! Unfortunately the long skirts at h&m are way too long for me o.0... and I'm 170 cm tall! Lovely pictures Winnie =)
ReplyDeleteIt goes so well with the maxi, just lovely! Of only the weather would perk up! Xo
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks amazing! Wish mine could like that tousled and lovely :) the top looks great with the maxi! xo

Love the skirt & necklace! Gorgeous nail colour too.
ReplyDeleteYou're 4''11? Me tooooooo! Well, I like to be optimistic and think myself as 5ft or if I am really pushing it, 5ft1! but i am pretty sure i have shrunk during the past 10 years to 4ft 11! I hate being boob height. For Christmas, Please can I get some new, tall legs!!!!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt! It looks great on you, I used to be really put off by long skirts because I am a shortie too but they look so good! As long as I don't trip up!
ReplyDeleteLovely and I love the length and style of your hair :D

Ahh Winnie! You look absolutely grand, just catching up on your blog now and it seems the diet has worked a treat, you look so good. Zara in Warrington has closed down and they've replaced it with a Blue Inc. (Sigh). Hope you're well xx

ReplyDeleteWhat can i say? I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE your hair!!! Gosh, the wavy loose perm looks gorgeous on you! Yeah, i cam imagine the humidity in HK making it all frizzy!hate when that happend when i permed my hair. So jealous that your sis can make hair like that with a curler (hence, for free!!!)..i cant curl my hair for life, hahaha
ReplyDeleteI still think i cant pull off maxi skirts up to this day as i'm petite as well but maybe i ought to give it a try like yourself:) I super love the neon orange leopard top and that marks your first leopard print purchase, if i recall correctly? lol I really lwant that Topshop belt!!! When did you get it? I'm going to the uk in Aug so im gonna hunt for it if its there:)
Happy weekend Winnie!!!

Love the print on your top & great that you can get away with wearing it as a dress too! I never try on maxi skirts as I always think I'll be too short for them but maybe I should give them a go!

I have always avoided maxi skirts and dresses because of the difficulties of finding them in the right length but your lovely skirt has given me new hope. I love the neon leopard print too.
