But then, on Friday morning, I happened to be in Belfast and wandered into H&M on Royal Avenue and saw two rails of Marni stock left - plus some necklaces, scarves, sunglasses and shoes!
Despite the availability of a couple of items I had admired online, the only item I really liked in real life was the blue spotty pencil skirt. And my gorgeous photographer and husband offered to buy it for me - I call that a result!
After some wine while watching Gok on the Late Late Show (I recommend catching up on the RTEPlayer), I decided to model the skirt. And ouch, it was sore trying on clothes with stitches in my neck but I'm a martyr to the cause...
Verdict? Love the skirt a lot but I haven't got the right top to match in my wardrobe. Further shopping is required. But I am pleased by this result - any reason to shop is welcomed! Hints or tips anyone (other than a black polo neck!)?
Love the skirt....soooo flattering. I would wear it with fsomething fitted in black, slash mech 3/4 sleeves.in summer ?fitted cream with nude shoes?
ReplyDeleteOops...slash neck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire...I like the sound of that x
DeleteMarks and Spencers has a pretty awesome blouse at the moment that might look awesome in an 80s manner with this. I'm pretty sure this is navy. I love me some M&S (on occasions).

Thanks Sara...I do like that blouse. Going to take a run out to M&S with the skirt on Wed night x
DeleteI love the skirt! There was so many great pieces in the collection! :) I like how you've style it with the print top, I think the Marni pieces can look their best when mixed with other patterns for a full on Marni look!
