Nothing like a little bit of class

Unorganized has been my middle name this week. Usually, I've got my outfit planned, right down to the shade of polish on my nails, but I went to my cousins wedding this weekend and literally didn't have a clue what to wear until Friday. This was a last minute affair, but luckily I found the perfect dress after only 4 hours of searching. And what's more, 20% discount for students... thanks to my sister, meaning I got this beauty for £75 in Miss Selfridge. 

Trying on my dress

Any outfit, isn't complete without a new pair of heels and a clutch...... so I just couldn't resist these. 

Bag: New Look £24.99

Heels: £85 Carvella 

I went for the whole Great Gatsby look. A world of glamour and sophistication... perfect for a wedding. I didn't want a dress that I couldn't wear again and would just be stuck and sat at the back of my wardrobe. 

My original choice was a dusky pink dress, with pleated chiffon in a full but flat skirt, finished with pink stones in a subtle pattern on the front of the top. It was pretty, but I wouldn't wear it on a night out... too conservative looking. Pretty, but not worth the £80 from Coast.

Weird lighting, as I was in the Fitting room

Stay tuned to see the wedding piccies and my complete outfit put together on the big day!

Something old, but something new

Being a good sister, I took my younger sibling to the airport ready for her fourth holiday this summer (jealous). The airport was on route to work anyway, but after dropping her off, I still had an hour to kill. What's a girl to do? Of course I did what any girl would do... a bit of retail therapy. I found a very rustic vintage boutique that I spent a good 40 minutes wondering around before I had to leave to get to work. But not before finding an absolute bargain. 

Me in action at the vintage shop, trying on this little number. I do realize I'm wearing jeans, but it was a quick try on.

I got this 40s style dress for £4. Deep blue with white polka dots and a cinched waist with button detailing down the  front. I loved it, as it's so versatile. In the day: with brogues and and a brown satchel. In the evening: crimson lippy, victory rolls in my hair, tan wedges and clutch.
