Pockets of Summer

I've noticed that Summers aren't what they used to be back when I was a child in the 90s or even as a teenager in the early noughties when long, hot summers used to last weeks with only the odd grim day. Nowadays though I feel like from May to September we have what I call pockets of summer where you get a period of warm nice weather for a few days then it becomes unpredictable and temperamental again. During one of those pockets of summer around 2 weeks ago I got my shins out for work which isn't something that happens very often being someone who feels the cold but I do it whenever I can. Midi skirts are perfect for work and they allow your legs to get a bit of sunshine and breeze on them but also look sophisticated. The only downside can be 'Marilyn moments' on windy days. One of my favourite midi skirts is this lilac scuba number from Boohoo.

I wore it for work with an embellished top from H&M. The lace up sandals are from New Look and the shades were bought on holiday a couple of years ago
