I'm back for good now...no more galavanting about the world for me, just uni...which I am FINE with. I'm getting a bit behind with bits and pieces, including this blog!
So anyway, I had a lovely weekend with la family down in Dorset...the weather was pretty good and we stayed in the loveliest cottage ever with amazing views of the coast. I really couldn't have asked for a nicer place:)
I always feel rather messy when I go there in the way of clothes...we walk a lot so my day attire is usually jeans and a shirt with some vague attempt at accessorising with a bangle or demure earrings. Trundling about the countryside in fully styled garments would definitely raise a few bovine eyebrows, let alone the locals...
For evening however, I still get it wrong as I really need to make an effort for the night which would be fine here or at home, but in the depths of the Dorset countryside or in the coastal- town pubs of Swanage, one feels more than a little out of place. Even if one has considered herself to have dressed down...added to that is the fact that you look ridiculous trying to grapple with a half concreted/ half pebbled road in killer heels. It makes for some interesting times. Especially when a little intoxicated. Haha.
Anyway, this is what I wore on one day and one night...
Shirt: Sister's wardrobe Gilet: Mother's wardrobe Jeans: GAP Boots: Uggs Bag: Accessorize
Jacket: Newlook Dress: French Connection Shoes: Matalan (most depressing time of my life when I entered that shop) Necklace: Newlook
I got the most hooker- like shoes from Matalan the other day...hey they were cheap and fun. And they will only get beer spilled on them anyway...


Love the dress! Im suprised those heels are from matalan, they're great!
ReplyDeleteAh I have the same wardrobe dilemmas when I return to Wales! You managed well, love the stripes with the gold
ReplyDeletelove your outfit! why was going to matalan so depressing? theres one near where i live now and i havent gone in yet, but i hear its super cheap!
ReplyDeletei just have an aversion to shops that sell some of the slightly off- trend things such as they do...not all of it...just some of it lol
