OOTD: Lace is More

Well Hello Again Ladies (and Gents).

Firstly I'd like to thank all you lovely ladies for the really sweet comments on my last few posts, I really appreciate each and every one, I try my very best to check out the sites of everyone who comments so keep 'em coming.

***Since my last post I have offered to pick-up some of the 'ready made' peter pan collars from my local market and post them to anyone that's interested for £4 or £7 with beads already sewn on. Just send me a little e-mail with your address. I will post more pictures soon as I have already done lots more 'designs'.***

Todays outfit is the first outing of my £3 Lace Skater dress, and I think if was definitely worth the money, even if I do say so myself.

This is also the first outing for my new chunky knit cardigan that I absolutely adore, I can see it as being my favourite Autumn/Winter cardigan. They also had one in navy that I might go back and purchase, I'm still not sure about the gold buttons on either of them, but that's easily fixed.

 

I'm actually quite happy with my pictures today too, apart from the poor location (my bedroom), I know they're nothing special compared with hundreds of other blogs,  but at least I look alive and awake this time, although still very moody, you can almost glimpse a smile in the picture above.

I can't wait till my next pay day so I can look for some new shoes, I feel like I'm wearing the same shoes in every picture, but I do love them and they do go with everything.

Do you have a pair of favourite 'go too' shoes?

Outfit Details

Lace Skater Dress - Primark
Black Dress (Underneath) - H&M
Cardigan - Primark
Pendant - Gifted
Belt - Primark
Heeled Brogues - Thrifted

LOVE this look! That dress is gorgeous and what a great buy!
Your shoes are awesome, I'd wear them all the time too. I live in my knee high, riding boots - I do alot of walking so they're perfect.
I have trouble with my photos too...I always feel like an idiot. Your's look great, love the wee smile :)

Jess said...

This outfit is great! I love how you paired it with the belt and the shoes.

I'm such a big shoes fanatic. My favorite pair changes each season. Right now, I have these lovely gladiator sandals. I just love the style of those and they make me very happy.

I adore the lace dress. I love you wore it over another one and put the belt on. to tied it all together.

Trees said...

What a beautiful dress! I really do love "lacy" clothes but I hardly own any!

When I lived at home in NZ, my "wear with everything" shoes were a pair of knee high doc martin boots. I love them so much - I even wore them to a friends wedding^^

But here in Korea it's too hot to wear them in the winter so I just wear plain black flats - boring but all the shoes here seem to be in teeny tiny sizes! I'll be buying more shoes when I go home in a couple of weeks for sure!

I love that little lace dress! I don't ever really go in primark as it is always so horrible and crowded, but seeing things like that dress make me think I should go in more often!
