This dress was given to me by a friend. She had it made in Vietnam while she was travelling but didn't love it so she ended up passing it on to me. So a free dress means I win at Buying Less Crap right? I hope so because I caved and got myself these blue tights this week. This is my first new purchase since the beginning of the year and I was down to just one pair of plain tights so I needed them pretty seriously. I do feel like I should have figured out a better solution though, needing tights was my first real challenge and I totally just went out and got 'em without thinking too much about it. So while I have definitely curbed the buying crap habit on the whole, when I 'need' something I'm going to have to find more creative solutions. As far as the dress goes, I like it. It's way more feminine (floral! gathering! red! a waist!) than most things I wear but I'm really enjoying looking super girly lately and despite serious urges to get my hair chopped short again (I did cut my fringe the other day though, I love me a short fringe), I've resisted so far.

Love your writing style! Give yourself a little break - I couldn't live without tights.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining up with WW xo
Blush. Liking the way I write means so much more to me than any compliments on my outfit! Thank you.
DeleteThere are some organic cotton tights available- even in supermarkets I think. And 'Imprint' have made in NZ, handprinted tights. Imperfect solutions though...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up Jemma, I've seen the printed tights around Cuba st but not the organic tights. They will be great for when the weather cools.
DeleteI love your shoes and your ear-rings (called plugs, right?) your outfit is so cute and earthy!
ReplyDeleteYep, they're called plugs or if you have hollow jewellery then "flesh tunnels' works too. Thank you so much!
DeleteThat's a gorgeous dress! I had the same urge to chop all my hair off recently, and I did. But being patient and resisting the temptation is a good way to go, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, for now. I'm sure I'll cave eventually. I always seem to get the big chop right before winter though. Thanks for your lovely comments!
DeleteLove that dress! The boots are super cute too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm pretty lcuky my friend was so generous huh?! The boots are my faves, but sadly wearing out very quickly.
