I'm a great fan of Corine Roitfelds style and ever since I saw her in this denim skirt, I knew I had to get the 'perfect denim skirt'.

I had two denim skirts that I decided were no longer the right style, shape, colour and length anymore and they were donated to the charity shop some months back. When I want a particular item now, I hold out until I feel I've found the right one.
On my last thrift visit, I found this Warehouse denim skirt for only 50p! I also found a lighter wash A line style by H&M for £1.50. The one I'm wearing is perfect for me, the length is right, I love the front split and its hugging without being too tight. The colour is ideal for wearing anytime of the year too.I'm pleased to have a couple of denim skirts in my wardrobe now-they are a basic staple and as I'm mainly a casual dresser anyway, I can dress them up with a lovely top, accessories and heels if needs be.
What basic staple will you be wearing regularly this winter?

You look great <3 Back in Singapore, that is what all the old aunties wear. But you two make it so fashionable!
Hi janettaylor-so lovely of you, thanks my dear!
Hi yiqin-thanks my dear!
Sharon Rose, what amazing finds! I love your new skirt! You have inspired me to bring out mine that are exactely like yours(!!-Its that intuition again!)and go for the Corine Roitfeld look. Amazing style inspiration.Have a wonderful sunday, my dear!
Thank you so much for the Thanksgiving wishes. You just have to hang on to that deninum because it just doesn't go out of style. You can wear it in winter, dress it up, dress it down. I have seen this way of making it more or lest a big belt with your leggins..which is really just a mini mini but its cool.
Wishing you lots of warm momements as the holidays approach there.
Another great find, dear! I love this skirt! It fits you so good!

Hi Sharon! I agree, Carine Roitfeld is amazing! And I like that shot of you with the umbrella! An A-line denim skirt? Sounds interesting! Well, one thing I am wearing all the time now is my grey swing jacket-- I'm really obsessed with it! By the way, I like your new blog colours too!
Hi cate-thanks for such a lovely comment and for noticing the blog colours too! that swing jacket is an excellent style staple for winter!
Loving this inspiration, SR!

You know, I like Corine Roitfeld's style not just because of her clothes, but also because of her SMILE! Makes such a refreshing change from all those fashionista poker-faces, don't you think?
