So i am going to my cousin's wedding tomorrow, and weddings are a great excuse to buy a new outfit! So i recently went to topshop to look for a dress and i came across this navy one! It reminds me of a twiggy dress in the 1960's and navy is my favourite colour to wear. so it is a kind of thick single layer chiffon for the main body of the dress, it has pleats at the top and the sleeves are a very sheer navy chiffon. I, being the five foot three short person that i am, seemed to drown in this dress, and i havent yet taken it up as i feel a dress on me that is too long just makes me look shorter, i desided to get a skinny belt also and blouse it up over the belt, just to bring the length up a little bit. i adapted this seasons 'buckle and knot' technique, which i am very greatful for, as i always disliked the whole chunky belt phase. I paired it with these great suede brogues from bertie, that my mum got for me a couple of seasons ago in the house of fraiser sale (along with these gorgeous carvella loafers that i wear for school, all half price! you can imagine my excitement!) i replaced the laces for some black grosgrain ribbon, something i do in all my shoes! in my red tartan doc martins i have a black satin ribbon which looks really contrasting and i love it! for jewlerry i felt no need to wear any bracelettes, and usually i have so many on i cannot lift my hand but there would be no point as the sleeves go right down to my hand, so for practicality all i wore on my wrist was my favourite overly tacky juicy couture watch that i love (being juicy, it is bound to be tacky!)I also wore my necklace and earrings that i wear pretty much every day and never take off, so these will crop up in a lot of outfit posts. it is my flat hears shaped tiffany earings and my small silver key, also from tiffany.And as far as makeup and hair goes, we will have to see what happens in the morning.
p.s excuse the damp hair and the pained expression on my face!
