The Edgy Grey Pleated Skirt.


This August bank holiday weekend I spent a few days away from the office and away from the usual going on in my life and took a very relaxing break away.I visited my family down in Caherdaniel in Kerry which was absolutely beautiful.It really does put into perspective how beautiful Ireland truly is when you get outside your on surroundings and travel around our beautiful island. It's crazy how much you can pack into just a few days away, I feel like I saw so much of Kerry in such a short few days. From visiting rivers, mountains, fairy gardens,skelligs chocolate factory(I was in awe and everything tasted very delicious) to cafes and restaurants. I don’t think I have ever been on a holiday and taken so many photographs, both being of the beautiful coastal scenery and of me and my family. It’s great to have those memories captured and being able to look at them whenever I can. To say I overpacked would be an understatement, but I think we are all like that. Especially when you are visiting Ireland with it’s bipolar weather. I brought the clothes that I have been wanting to post on my social media recently, I have been loving mixing and matching different styles lately.

I get all my fashion inspiration from Instagram and other bloggers, I don't feel I have one particular style and I like that. Some days I like being more chic and sometimes I like being more edgy and grungy. My style definitely depends on what I am doing and what mood I'm in that day. I absolutely love challenging myself when it comes to fashion and stepping outside my comfort zone.





This is a look that I thought about in my head as soon as I saw this skirt, I loved the idea of pairing a long pleated skirt with a pair of trainers to make it more edgy. Especially with the matching Nike T-shirt and the Zara leather jacket with its quilted and zipper detail.This outfit was very comfortable and it was perfect for the day that it was, a bit cloudy but humid.The majority of the time I had my leather jacket off as it was quite warm but as you all know, we do it all for the outfit post.
This skirt is definitely one that you could style in a variety of ways and each style can be different. It will definitely be a staple in my wardrobe for months to come.

  10. Love how you've styled this! I love pleated skirts but I don't think I'd have any idea how to dress it down, I'd automatically go for GLAM but this is inspiration which I'll definitely try x

  11. I am in handbag hell at the moment, that place where NOTHING is what it needs to be! Too many pockets, not enough, to small, too big... driving my self nuts. I am currently sporting my guardian rucksack from Glasto last year! No pockets and it's awful LOL I love the compact look of this bag and it is lovely with your outfit :)
