Tartan always reminds me of Scotsmen in their kilts, and in case you weren't aware already, my hubby is Scottish. I felt that it was about time I had a bit of Scottish in my overflowing wardrobe and it's currently (eeeep).... 'bang on trend' - detest this term.

 So I went hunting on good ol' eBay. I found this gorgeous Tartan wrap-around skirt by Topshop and snared it for £6. Six Quid! Bargain? Judge for yourself...

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Primark rings, but this one has something about it. It has a sort of 'classic' look that I can't quite put words to! It only cost £2, definitely worth a go!

This unusual Penny Farthing necklace is a Galibardy dupe I discovered on eBay. I only went searching on eBay as Galibardy didn't have any more in stock. The original is £21 but this little beaut of a dupe set me back £10!

I love that this skirt is a wrap-around, I've never had one before... Let's just hope the wind doesn't blow..

Skinny black belt - ASOS
Ring - Primark
Purple longline cardigan - Primark
Necklace - eBay
Polka Dot tights - Topshop

 And then it began chucking it down..

A friend of mine has lent me one of her Nikon lenses, apparently it's super-good. Only problem is I'm not super-good with it just yet! I played around with it a bit at the weekend and still I don't fully understand how it works and what it's best for, but rest-assured I will be playing around and experimenting a lot more over the coming days! The picture above, summing up my Sunday, was taken with it.

 Cool?

Lima is a Northern girl who chose life. Fashion and Makeup to her are just a little bit of fun, because life is already way too serious as it is. She's all about colour, because colour breaks down barriers, opens up the mind to new possibilities and makes everything feel a bit brighter.

    You look very pretty, dear. And this outfit is genius! I love how you allowed the skirt´s prints to shine out by pairing with a black tank, and then polishing the look with a fabulous cardigan. :)
