BLACK and RUST

I drive over this bridge pretty much every day and until yesterday, I hadn't really noticed the view across the river. Last night, I went to meet one of my old school friends for a drink. She lives in Leeds, so I don't see her as often as I'd like. She's a cutie. And to our little catch-up, I wore this. I love this rust colour for summer. It warms my bones. It's not actually a colour I would normally choose as I tend to steer clear from too many brown tones in my wardrobe; mainly due to a scary obsession with the boho-cowgirl trend in my teens. BUT rust works. My favourite part of this outfit is the mock croc bag. It has a strap but you can tuck it away so it doubles as I clutch. I only really like mock croc vintage items. New mock croc is always too plastic looking, too shiny. I like it to look like luggage from an old movie.
