It was most a beautiful spring day we've had so far this year and the sun was shining high and bright in the sky. The gorgeous sunshiny day was really what I needed to give me a well-needed boost as I've had a pretty bad week. Now I'm not one for talking too personally on here, because I am an incredibly positive person who tries to make the best out of everything, but even I too have my bad days. Earlier this week at work I totally lost my cool in a moment of stress and disappointment and burst into tears- which in retrospect is quite embarrassing, but hey I'm only human. (If I do cry it's usually in the privacy of my own home!). I think it was a mixture of stress and frustration on my part and then to top it all off yesterday my car robbed me of £350 for new tyres, a failed MOT, new lights and a new tax disc.

Putting that all aside I decided to wear some softer colours to cheer myself up, and what better than my new dress that I swapped at the Voucher Code's Swap Shop Party? Now Paige actually encouraged me to get this dress when we saw it hanging up and I thought...well it's technically free, so why not? When I got home I was pleasantly surprised to see that the back of the dress was not simple and plain like the front but with a lovely bow and lots of waterfall cut layers surrounding it. I teamed it with a vintage style bag I also got from the swap shop (I cleared up at that party!) and my new pretty pastel Primark necklace which only cost a low and lovely £6. Really looking forward to the weekend as my little sister is getting married to her true love. x
so vintage and pretty!

this look is so inspiring! wonderful...
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous, the bow on the back is adorable!
ReplyDeleteEurgh, hate crying at work, it's just so embarrassing .. sometimes it just happens though! Hope you're feeling better now x
Looove the bow on the back of this dress, and the shoes are adorable. I love how you call them plimsolls! I guess over here, they'd be sneakers, or Keds (though that's actually a brand name). Adore the strawberries, obviously!
