A FEW WAYS TO WEAR THE VINYL SKIRT... AND THE FEBRUARY DIARIES

Dip into some comfy February colours and monochromes, and check the vinyl skirt feature.

I always wanted a simple full vinyl skirt, not quite realising it wouldn't be easy to wear. Anyway, I wanted to play around a bit with making it appropriate for more than just one occasion, and here's the result. There's cute, vintage, city and grunge to start with. Other than that, I spent the month monochrome blocking, with a couple of deep jewel colours and blackwatch tartan, waiting for spring to arrive - and, of course, watching the New York, London, Milan, Paris shows pretty closely as usual.
