Working Week: Splashes of colour

It's bright and sunny here today which makes up for the overcast weather we've had over the last week.  I had meetings so thought I would go a classic tailored look with a pencil skirt and pleated jacket in black, lifted by a dash of bright poppy red:

Top: Saba
Skirt: L'Wren Scott
Jacket: Country Road
Shoes: Bally
Bag: Hermes

I love this bright top from  Saba, it really adds interest to the basic black. The pencil skirt by L'Wren Scott is a testament to the late designer's skills and high standards. Quite honestly, I've never had a skirt that was more exquisitely made. The lining, the hanger hooks in lace, the zip with a satin zip guard: it's incredible. There are even two little metal discs (pennies, perhaps?) sewn into the bottom corners of the back split so that the weight keeps the split centred all day - no worrying about your skirt twisting around or adjusting!

It's only 3 sleeps until the Easter break - we cannot wait! xo
