| it pays to be short.. wearing a top as a dress with a modest amount of decency! |
i tried carbooting for the first (proper) time this weekend, and this dress find was the jewel in my crown. i went with my mam, who absolutely loathed it. she compared it to a white lace doily, you know those victorian-style table top decorations? to be honest, i can see the resemblance, but i love it anyway! paired it with brown loafers, a string of pearls and some thick woollen black tights because it was freezing! went out with a massively oversized chocolate coloured cardi keeping me toasty though. and a coat. and a hat. nevermind fall, winter really has hit in the UK of late!
p.s. just started blogging on my phone, it's surprisingly easy! saving my favourite blogs to a folder on my iphone right now. done!
I love this dress - so pretty - & very versatile - will look just as lovely in the summer with bare legs & sandals as it does here with your thick tights :) Great purchase!

GADS! That dress is adorable. I wish I was just a touch shorter...bought this pink vintage tunic dress today...and it's too short, as in if I do anything with my arms my arshe ends up on show to the rest of the world. Gutter. PS: I think a lace doily is a good look. Embrace it.
