the girl in the striped dress
dress - topshop, shoes - topshop/ebay, cardigan - tesco, bag - UO
after searching for hours and hours for a new cardigan, with no luck whatsoever, and realising that i may just have to pay £836283 for that really nice one in urban outfitters... i found this one. and where did i find it? in tesco, of all places! for 50% off! i was so pleased, and have worn it lots and lots since. it's really soft, and the colour seems to go with every single thing i own.
this dress is a new'un, and is continuing my newly re-ignited love affair with stripes. it's a real nice fit and has short t-shirtish sleeves which makes it nicely casual and it'll probably be great for summer. it felt like it needed something, though, so i added this collar (part of a crochet-ish topshop top) underneath, and was so pleased with the results. oh and this bag is new too.. it's bigger than my usual bags and i love the handle.. something that's been missing on previous bags, and now i don't think i could ever use a handle-less bag again.

I love love love this outfit, one of my favourites for sure! Adding that collar has made that dress look lovely, I'm a sucker for clothes with collars! And your cardigan is a perfect colour, I bought one similar a few weeks ago... only for my mam to steal it from me!

Aw this is super cute! wish I could pull off a hat like that x Sushi
ReplyDeleteI have the same bag and I love it! That's probably why it was the first thing my eyes turned to when I read your post. Hehe. I'm a big fan of cardigans and yours is really nice. I hope it doesn't bobble for you as some cardies I buy have a tendency to do so =c
ReplyDeleteyou look adorable! I love the dress!!

Love the bag and collar.x
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to use another collar to add to the dress, which was already cute to begin with. You made it so much cuter! Love that you added the cozy cardigan and the hat is the perfect topper.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
