stars & no stripes


dress - vero moda/asos, cardigan - topshop

these photos are kinda boring, but that's because i took them just to see what the dress and cardigan looked like. i was planning to turn this into a 'should i keep these' type post, but i have already sent them back! oops. the dress was a strange material and the cardigan was just a bit too oversized, and not as brown as it looked in the photos. i hate when that happens.

have sort of, accidentally-on-purpose ordered lots of things lately, so will have plenty of new stuff to show you all soon! (nothing makes me happier than buying new clothes/recieving online orders.. i might need to get out more.) always feel guilty after buying though, so i'm considering a complete clothes buying abstinence for the month of march. would be so difficult but i need to do it.

also, thanks for all your thoughts on a potential blogshop, am going to look into it this weekend!

  5. The colours work well together and I think you look lovely! Shame you had taken them back but I understand when items arrive and they're not what you expected... it hurts!

  14. i agree on what you mentioned earlier - these shoes aren't really 'you', although they look pretty.
    and i think you could like the outfit i wore today: it has polka dots, burgundy, a big cardigan and shorts over tights. :) have a look at http://ohmygoshitsbrandnew.blogspot.com/2011/02/look-07-polka-dots.html (thanks)

  17. the print on that dress is really cute! although i agree with you that the shininess of the fabric doesn't match with the cute stars. that belt is really pretty though, is that vintage/thrifted or from a regular store?

  21. Oh you have such beautiful style!
    I've bought way too much recently, I'd feel guilty, but the sheer joy that comes from purchasing such items overwhelms me into fits of childish giggles and bouts of non-stop smiling, so it's worth the money ;) tehe.

  24. That's a shame, cause the pattern on the dress looks cute. The cardigan looks pink though, weird...
