Was remembrance day today, although I unfortunately failed to remember during my morning meeting and worried I may have talked through the moment of silence.....
This dress is another of my "not worn in a while so should try to wear again" items. Been 8 months since I last wore this dress! I remember wearing it every couple of weeks when I first got it. I could wear heels a lot more often then though. Paired it with tights as the stormy rainy weather was supposed to continue, although it seemed to hold off until the evening.
Thought that the purple scarf would add a nice touch of colour, and I really like wearing this as a belt :)
Last worn: blue sunglasses, grey sleeveless dress, purple silk scarf, studded mouse flats, Mulberry Alexa bag.
Here's what I wore to work today:
Sunglasses: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
Necklace: Chanel necklace layered with Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace (closeup)
Dress: French Connection 'pendragon panache' cap sleeve dress in 'winters day base'
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Silverstreak
I have been trying not to splurge on clothes or accessories for myself lately and wear what I already own, but caved in when I saw these cute mouse flats on sale! Knew they would be a great neutral for summer and the warmer months, and I really miss my old gold flats after I wore them to pieces. Plus you can never have too many mouse flats! :) thought about it for a day before I purchased them, which gave me time to think about it and also meant that the package arrived at my desk on Monday morning. Nice way to start the week and meant I could wear them today.

Last worn: yellow sunglasses, French Connection dress, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki hobo bag. First time I've worn the shoes as they are a new purchase.
Love the idea of wearing scarf as a belt! You look fantastic ❤️
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to not buy anything right now as well and to get more use out of what I already own. I have so many lovely pieces of clothing that I have either never worn or worn very little. I'm glad to hear you are trying to get more use out of your closet as well! Looking cute in both outfits Mica, loved the way you used a scarf as a belt in the first outfit :)

The dress from the second outfit is so sweet! And I agree, those MJ mouse flats are so cute you definitely should collect them in every color :-) I spotted the black ones in a store window just recently and they were soooo tempting! xo

DeleteI really, really like that second dress, it must be favorite piece from these two outfits! You look super lovely! :)

It was a bit chilly that Monday morning! :) I go to work early and get home late so I miss the heat of the day in an airconditioned office most of the time.
DeleteMica you could have called this post the Marc Jacobs mouse flat edition! I love your new gold toned ones! And that first outfit in lavender and grey is lovely.
