The Cactus Print Shirt With Black Skinny Jeans
You can never beat a good printed shirt and skinny jeans combination, can you? It’s one of my absolute favourites and jazzing it up a bit with accessories is one thing I love to do. The shirt and jeans work as the base, but the belt and the rest of the items really make or break the entire outfit. So this is what I wore a couple of weeks ago for a day out in town.
This photoshoot almost didn’t happen though, as we had walked too far looking for a place out of the sun and that complemented the outfit, and my legs were hurting a huge amount and I wanted to go home, but I persevered and we stopped by Great Pulteney Street on the way back, which just so happened to look beautiful as a background for my outfit.
I was wearing my beloved Topshop Cactus Shirt that I picked up last year, but I styled it with my GRLFRND Petite Candice Skinny Jeans in Love Hangover this time instead. Before I wore this shirt with blue jeans (see here), but I thought black might be a great neutral to smarten it up. Since I also have the Gucci Double GG Belt in Black as well, I thought it was a fantastic complement to both pieces, marrying them together.
Then for my accessories, I lengthened my legs by carrying on the black with my Christian Louboutin Pigalle Heels, then threw in some colour with my Balenciaga Mini City Suede Bag in Brown. It matches the belt nicely, and also plays off the gold tones in my RADO Open Heart Skeleton Watch (which I spoke about here).
I’m keeping this one short and sweet today as I’m quite tired from a busy week, but please do let me know what you think of the outfit in the comments below! I always love your opinions! Lorna xx.

Fantastic look! I love contrasts in an outfit! Like the fun blouse and the edgy belt, and the edgy jeans with the, oh my god, pumps!

Hi Lorna, thank you so much for dropping by and checking on me. I haven’t been dealing with things very well, I really miss writing and checking in with everyone…. I’m hoping to get back to it soon.
I love your cute cactus print shirt, I had a tee with this very print many years ago and loved the fun print that it was. I hope you’re doing well, everyone’s on my mind ♡♡♡

Thank you, Launna. Nice to hear from you. Hopefully there will be something new to read on your blog soon!
Cactus seems to be a new trend print! I don´t have this print. I like your heels and the bag :-*

I feel like that always happens to me – I spend so long looking for a shoot location only to feel like giving up, haha! It drives my fiancé nuts 😉 You look absolutely gorgeous. It was worth the wait for the backdrop!

It’s such a pretty and eye-catching shirt and I remember well the previous time you wore it with those other gorgeous jeans. 🙂 And then, a few months later, when I saw it on Coronation Street and was trying to work out why it seemed familiar. It actually popped up again there just a week or so ago. 😀
If pushed to choose I think I slightly prefer the shirt paired with the blue jeans rather than the black… but that’s not to say that I don’t think that this combination is terrific too – it very much is and these black jeans are lovely too. 😀
Author
Oh that’s funny they keep showing it on Coronation Street the same time I am wearing it! What a coincidence, ha ha 😀 Really glad you like it, Steven! It’s one of my all time favourite shirts!
I think it’s one of your best shirts too. 😀 I’m glad I saw it first in your photos and second on Coronation Street though – rather than the other way around. 😉
Author
I’m glad too! Means you instantly like mine more as it’s first! Ha ha!
Very cute and chic look! I love your top and Gucci belt 🙂

Lorna! You’re impeccably dressed as always in this beautiful set of images. I’m sorry to hear your legs were aching as you walked for ages to find the perfect location. It’s interesting how fashion images can convey a very different impression to the reality of capturing them! Anyway, you look fabulous and I love the playful cactus print shirt. Your chic accessories really showcase it nicely!
Lots of love Saba xx

It is, isn’t it? It’s easy to hide things in photos, almost like acting in a way! So happy you love everything!
Hey Lorna!
I love that outfit, it fits your body and shape really great!
However, I wonder what you are carrying in your back pocket? The first pic gives the impression that there is something there 🙂
Love,

Hi Maria 🙂 Good spot! That is my iPhone in my pocket. I put it in there quickly as I was using it for Instagram at the time and couldn’t be bothered to put it back in my bag. Glad you like the outfit!
Haha, that’s what I was actually assuming. These days many girls and ladies carry their phones in their back pockets. As long as they are slim it does look good indeed.
Do you mind including your phone to your future shootings? I guess things will get a bit more casual and most of your jeans provide big pockets to go with. It would be a nice addition, especially when you are showing some rear shots, so everyone can catch the nowadays spirit. It’s just an idea.
Keep up the great work. I love your blog! 🙂
Love,
MaRia

It was more for a quick place to put it than a style thing. I don’t like to keep it there for safety purposes as it could easily be stolen, so it was just for that time 🙂 I forgot to take it out and remembered half way through, ha ha.
That’s an important point to mention and I’m totally with you.
However, maybe you can just give it a try for a shooting as I guess there will be no thief around to run into you. 🙂
Author
I personally don’t see it as a fashion statement or anything, so I probably wouldn’t 🙂
Haha, that’s kinda funny! I spotted the phone as well and was thinking of “yeah, this could actually be a good addition to the blog posts as most girls carry their phone like that”. It would be a natural cause I guess. However, you should feel comfortable with it so it’s of course up to you. Anyways, I guess it will look good and would go hand in hand with your denims! 🙂
Author
How did you find my photos by the way as I noticed you’re a new commenter?
Hey,
Actually, I’ve been a long time reader of your blog and I check by from time to time. 🙂 I always enjoyed your denim related posts but never took a word to go with. This time I also spotted the phone like Maria and had a quick look in the comment section if that “accesoire” gets credit in the comments. And there we go – kinda funny, though!
Author
Oh, ha ha I actually asked Maria that question 😉
