For me, summer is all about comfort, keeping cool and looking relaxed. I love that beachy, I-don’t-care-if-my-hair’s-a-mess style. When the sun starts shining, I want something I can throw on while I pretend I’m in an early episode of The OC.
Zara jersey skirt, £9.99 in polka dot, floral and plain.
I picked up the blue polka dot version of this Zara jersey skirt at the weekend, and it’s seen me through a BBQ, a night out dancing and day hanging out in the garden. It’s comfortable, easy to wear and goes with everything. I mean it – EVERYTHING. Here’s how I wore it for a lazy Bank Holiday Monday wandering around our local area…
Zara skirt, H&M tee and sandals, Primark belt and ring, leather satchel via car boot sale (just seen), Ray Bans
I want to try it with a crisp white shirt and blazer for work, and over a bikini as a quick beach cover-up. I love it and know I’ll be wearing it all summer long.
Do you have any summer essentials?
OMG are these really £9.99?? Even my pauper’s budget can stretch to that! You look fabulous xxx

Definitely think I shall be buying one of these! I love a good skirt, especially if it comes in floral! xxx
Wow, that skirt is absolutely gorgeous and rather bargainous! You look lovely.
I like them but would prefer culottes especially when it gets a bit windy!
I bloody loved the OC. Zara do come out with some absolute gems these days daon’t they? This is the kind of thing i’ll end up with 4 different versions of and wear them in rotation until i get sick of seeing them on myself! Love easy to wear skirts for summer – a complet must have.

I really like this outfit Jen.
ooh what a lovely skirt, and so many colour options. which one!
Looks lovely on you 🙂
Looks fab. I get a bit lost in summer as my legs are just not good enough to bare – I generally stick to leggings or footless tights under dresses and skirts. I am rocking some fab navy and coral Monsoon cullotte things with a Breton top today, albeit with leggings underneath!
Love summer, but much prefer winter clothes. I think the maxi option may need investigating this year…
That is such a gorgeous summer skirt! It definitely looks like the definitive item for summer – a great colour and style that can be thrown on with anything.
cool outfit! <3
The skirts are lovely, I need to go to Zara!
Love the skirt! Those skirts are so easy to wear – I have a couple myself xx
Cute skirt! It looks super comfy and great for warm weather. Can’t wait to see how else you wear it 🙂
oooo these skirts are gorgeous…..and only £9.99, now just to decide which one I want….first lol xxx
Your legs look fantastic! I’ve got serious leg-issues, so I’m dead worried about getting rid of the tights and baring all!

Great post Jen! I just ordered a black polka dot skirt thanks to this post!
That does look like a pretty perfect summer skirt. I love the blue and white. It would look amazing with a white blazer.
ah, total great skirt for summer. i love having easy to slip on skirts to put over bathings suits.

They are only £9.99, think I might have to get myself a few. I reckon they could become wardrobe staples! You look lovely, love everything about the outfit!

Love these skirts! They did similar floral ones last year but whenever I check their stock they only ever have them in large. Damn Zara! Looks lovely on you – blue and white is perfect for summer 🙂
These look lovely, I worry they’d be too short on me, but will be checking them out as soon as I am next in Zara!
i adore that polka dot skirt, i always spend so much money whenever i hit zara! it’s terrible! it means i can barely ever venture in!
definitely agree you with an oc style for summer, i love playsuits and floaty skirts because they’re so easy to wear and to dress up and dress down for summer x
Mentioning the OC – that’s the kind of thing that makes me feel old when reading blogs.
I love it when you find a versatile piece, and that was a bargain too.

super cute! too bad the closest Zara to me is in Chicago. (yes I just looked it up after seeing how awesome the skirt is!)
I must buy at least of these! I’m never sure how to wear skirts in the summer, so thanks for the inspiration! x
adoreble i love this outfit
That skirt looks fabulous on you, Jen. A perfect little skirt for the summer with a very 1980’s vibe. Love the dark hair on you. xxx
Oh wow, I can totally see how that skirt could go with anything! I just love super functional pieces like that one:)
Oh that is cute! Thanks for the tip as well – I always forget about Zara as a place to shop at.
oooh i love this skirt! think ill be heading to zara this wkend to buy a couple of these babies!! 🙂 lol xo
Love the skirt, I am always impressed with Zara! I managed to pick up a super cute pink skirt recently which is a total mood brightener 🙂 I love the OC too, am currently watching Season 3!

Super cute. I love the colour and how the spots and stripes work together.
Every time I’ve been on Zara over the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen this skirt in green & reeeeeeeally just needed it, really. I don’t know why I haven’t made it my own yet. Stupidity, really. Payday comes next week & then, oh then, I will definitely dump a tenner on it. & maybe get a couple more of the colours/patterns too!
