Today I’m sharing a Leeds based outfit post from my flying visit to my favourite city. I always tell you all how much I love the place and thanks to some beautiful weather, I spent one afternoon in the amazing Kirkstall Abbey, drinking Pimms and catching up with the amazing blogger that is Corinne from Skinned Cartree. Obviously, this resulted in some outfit photos (and a quick tutorial on how actually to use my DLSR by Corinne) which I wanted to share today:

I picked up this dress in Forever21 and it has become my go-to dress for sunny days, casual drinks and dates. The elasticated waist is comfortable yet flattering and the extra layer on the top half is perfect is you are lacking in the boob department like me! I love the Aztec style print and the tassled tie waist adds a little something to the otherwise simple dress. I feel like my wardrobe is lacking pretty summer dresses at the moment, so this has been a perfect addition to my wardrobe. All I need is my favourite Primark pumps and a simple white necklace from George at Asda and I think it created a cute summer look – perfect for lazing around Kirkstall Abbey in the sunshine.

Have you spotted the Harry Potter trend throughout my wardrobe yet? Well this OOTD is no different, all thanks to a cancelled train. When leaving Kings Cross for Leeds, my train was cancelled as it was ‘too hot’ so I inevitably found myself in the Platform 9 and ¾ store.  I managed to resist the expensive keyrings, tshirts and jumpers but as I was trying to exit the store, I spotted these Dobby earrings. Dobby is one of my favourite characters, alongside Hermione, so I was more excited than is probably acceptable when I headed straight to the till with them in my hand. They have barely left my ears since and I have been wearing them every day during my internship at Bloomsbury, however geeky it may make me!

What do you think of this outfit? Am I weird for being so obsessed with these earrings?
