It was a little cool and rainny so I wore boots and a cardi to keep warm. I've seen a lot of people belting jackets and cardis lately so wanted to give it a try - this was the perfect dress to try it with I think. Really liked it, will definitely be wearing it again in future :)


The sunnies were last worn here, dress here, boots here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the cardi on the blog.

I was hunting through my wardrobe earlier in the week looking for a particular black top - that I decided not to wear anyway once I found it - and came across this top. I really love the colours and print on it, but I haven't worn it much, which is a shame. Last time I wore it was January 2011. It's crazy that I can let such a pretty top go unworn for over 2 years, and that I have enough clothes in my wardrobe to allow that to happen!!!


The jeans were last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first wearing of the top on the blog.

My sister in law no longer wanted this shirt, so she passed it onto me. I think it's great for work and I really like the polka dots. It's got little ties on the sleeves and one around the body so you can pull it into more of a peplum shape. Will have to try that next time.


This is the first time I've worn the shirt as it was recently given to me. The skirt was last worn here, shoes here and bag here.
