Today Rich and I went for a meal with his family. I wore my new skirt which I call my Sherlock Holmes skirt due to the fact it looks like his cape.

My favourite part is the pockets. How awesome are they? I didn't even know they were there until it arrived. A lovely surprise!

It goes perfectly with my Topshop coat here.

I completed the look with my Kurt Geiger velvet shoes and Etsy necklace. These shoes nearly broke my heart. I wanted them for months and when I finally went to buy them, they were half price! Yet they only had a size 3. I looked everywhere but that was the only size I could find and try as I might, in true Cinderella style, I just couldn't squeeze my feet in. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I cried a little. Then, eventually, I found a pair online at John Lewis. They were only stocking the size below me but I took a risk and they fit me perfectly. Hooray!

The necklace is from an amazing Hong Kong based seller who sells these stunning necklaces that are absolute bargains. I have loads of them.

My bag is vintage and my top is Primark.

Right, after that little procrastination, it's time to get on with my planning.
