I normally don't like wearing black, especially during the warmer weathers. Despite the fact that it's such a classic 'colour' and goes well with everything, I still find it a little depressing to wear it during sunshine season. As a matter of fact, I'm not too fond of wearing black anytime of the year, regardless of season. I mean, yes the basic black scarf, shoes & handbag are something I need to have in my wardrobe, but clothes? Not so much! 

I love pastel colours (isn't that obvious?) but also like bright colours, so when I wear black, then it's never head to toe! The bright orange maxi skirt is just what I needed to brighten this outfit!

This outfit was actually for an Aquila Style article 'Wardrobe Essentials' I wrote late 2012. You can read it here
