Going Nude


There is talk about 'Nude' being one of the On Trend colours. My goal is to do my best to never be On Tend, but I spotted this shirt on ASOS and thought the nude colour would breath new life into a skirt I have had for a very long time. Here is my interpretation of the latest trend.

T-Shirt: Hennes
Blouse: ASOS
Necklace: ASOS
Skirt: Can't remember where I got it from
Shoes: Pirmark
