Bringing schoolgirl back

There's something about plaid or tartan or whatever you want to call it that never loses it's charm, the schoolgirl-esque style that never seems to go out of fashion. I'm not massively into the classic red and green tartan because I'm not a big wearer of brights but I fell instantly in love with this pastel blue and pink plaid skirt from new look! I fell even more in love with it when I realised it was a lovely kindof fluffy fabric and that it was only £17.99! It's like the perfect winter skirt and although it does look kindof short in the photos, it's the perfect length especially when worn with black tights. I kept with the soft colour palette by adding my camel coat (primark, £23) and this bargain nude pink top from new look - only £7! Plus they've got it in loads of different colours and it's sooo comfy. I added black tights and black boots, and then finished with a classic gold necklace, nothing too OTT or statement; mine was from accessorize like a year ago but you can still get one that's almost the same because my friend Katie bought one after borrowing mine.
