MINI CHECKS
Mini Checks are go! If you have followed me on instagram for a while you will know that I am a slight mini skirt addict. I love how versatile they can be from season to season and how easy it is to dress them up and down. My new favourite when it comes to the mini is a colourful check print and it seems the high street is with me on this. So I thought I'd do the hard work for you and share my favourites with some outfit inspo and street style all thrown in too.
Checked Frill Waist Mini Skirt Topshop £25.00
I picked my skirt up in Topshop and was really impressed firstly with the price but the thing that sealed the deal was the light weight fabric. As we're slowly but surely heaing into Spring I didn't want any more heavy or dark fabrics. This one should easily see me through the last of the tight weather and into warmer temperatures with slogan tees and trainers. For now the tights are still very much necessary unfortunately so to balance out the colours I went with a black beret on top. The pop of yellow brings the look to life and the red bag draws on the colors within the pattern of the skirt.

Tartan Check Pelmet Skirt Topshop £36.00
I adore this tartan style check from Topshop, so much so I may have to add it to my collection. I would love to see it styled with a bright orange knit to contrast with the purple. Equally it could be dressed up with a crisp white shirt and heels for ultimate Clueless vibes.

Don't be afraid of the mini; the higher it sits on your waist the more flattering it will be. If you're not hot on your legs - you should be!....own what you have and walk with confidence. But for now a pair of tights will cover a multitude of sins, I'm talking about those days where you don't have the time or energy to shave your legs of course. Come on ladies a good check is the perfect print to get colourful with and show off your personality.
