I promise this is my third and final belated LFW outfit and then I will bore you no more with these posts I should have had up a week ago! I spotted this embroidered vintage dress in a local charity shop months ago and fell in love with it, but decided to leave it behind because I knew I would never have anywhere to wear something so extravagant in my my day-to-day routine. I mean I can't really see myself donning it on my morning commute on the packed out tube... or can I?! But seriously, no.
It was always there when I revisited the tiny, little shop and I picked it up every time before putting it back down again. Then one day whilst I was on the bus a few weeks ago I was desperately trying to conjure London Fashion Week outfits in my mind to no avail! All of a sudden I remembered the dress and took a detour on my journey to see if it was still there!
Luckily it was and I bought it for just £6! Although I feel a little like Henry VIII and as if I should be hosting a royal banquet in it, it is truly the dress of dreams!
Also, today my Day Two look at London Fashion Week was featured in this morning's Metro as a huge centre piece, which you can see here. Guys, I'm practically a poster!
