OOTD: Lace & Flower Crowns

08 May, 2012


Jacket: Vintage via Charity Shop, £5 // Dress*: c/o OASAP // Cycling Shorts: New Look Sale, £4 // Flower Garland: eBay, £3 // Socks: Topshop, £3.50 // Boots: H&M, £29.99

This cream lace dress was sent to me by the lovely people at OASAP, but unfortunately it's far too short for me so I've styled it as a tunic to wear with these lace trim shorts I picked up in the New Look sale a few weeks ago. I've probably overdone it with all the lace, but I quite like the mis-mash of different pattern cuts and colours. This is the first time I've worn this sheer jacket and I love it so, so much! It was such a good buy considering it only cost me a measly £5. Charity shops pull through once again!

I'm spending tonight eating Chinese and watching Britain's Got Talent. My boyfriend's brother's band, Loveable Rogues, are through to the semi-finals so it would be lovely if you could all pick up your phones tonight and vote! Every vote really does count. I'll be voting for the first time since trying to vote for dear old Gareth Gates in the first series of Pop Idol! Sadly, I never got through. Tonight I am determined to get through though! If you vote for them tonight, I'll re-pay you in cookies and love! Now, if that isn't a good deal I don't know what is!

    I LOVE that jacket! So so pretty (: whoops, totes missing BGT tonight because I've just returned from a sneaky McDonald's venture haha! How crazy that Loveable Rogues is your boyfriend's brother's band! My old stage school classmate was on last night but she didn't make it through, so gutted that I'm refusing to watch until the final now :P xx

    love all of this outfit! you look amazing. Perfect for festivals I think! and you know I love a good charity shop find! I've got some similar cycling shorts too-they're perfect for putting under the dresses I always cut too short.
    good luck to lovable rogues too! (I feel really bad I haven't watched it at all this year-forgot it was on!oops :( ) xxx

    You have a beautiful blog :) and you have AMAZING hair!

    I love this outfit. So, so tempted to invest in a pair of those shorts, but not sure I could pull them off as well as you do!

    Good luck to your boyfriend's brother's band! They're v talented guys!

    I'm so pleased that I just discovered your blog! Your sense of style is absolutely impeccable! I didn't have to think twice about clicking the "follow button". I adore the layering of this outfit and the lace is so pretty. The cycling shorts are a great finishing touch, and such an amazing bargain too! Oh, and I love your flower crown. I can't believe it only cost £3! I really must go on ebay more often; it's brilliant for a good bargain. I'm definitely your newest, most avid follower. Have a lovely day xxx
