BLACK FOR SUMMER? WHY NOT!

What is the deal with bagpipes? Is there anyone in the world that enjoys the sound of them - I imagine they were invented as a medieval torture device or perhaps the earliest assisted suicide machine. Just played for lonely women on a cliff until she can take no more screeching and throws herself to the waves below.

I mention bagpipes, as I seem to be confronted with them everytime I try to watch some Commonwealth Games coverage. Switch channels or streams to get away with it and there is another fellow torturing a crowd of people with his pipes. I suppose if it was a choice between that and Rod Stewart again (see the opening ceremony, or better yet don't), I think I would just chop my ears off (maybe eyes would need a poking too if it was Rod). So yes BBC, there is about 10 sports going on at once, I should never have to hear bagpipes.

Anyway, back to the fashion - I picked up this little number from H&M Conscious Collection on eBay a few months ago, for just a few pound and I am super pleased with it. Black may not seem like an appropriate for summer, but I think you can get away with it if you add a few pops of colour like I did with some vibrant nails, a bold crossbody bag and a pink lip.

The floaty skirt is good for getting a little bit of breeze, but not so good if you don't want to flash people at the bus stop, hence the addition of some tights.
