sixties (not so) chic

This is an outfit I’ve worn before and I remember feeling really smart and put together at the time, so much so I chose to wear it when I knew I was feeling a bit rubbish about myself in the hopes it’d pull me back out of that black hole…

Did it work? Well it never does, does it? I’ve been feeling so scruffy and insecure lately, but I still love the combinations in this outfit so I wore it regardless.

The dress was sent to me c/o Matalan, the top was bought in Holland the my boots are from my favourite Yull Shoes (hands down the best money I’ve ever parted with)

Anyone got snow? I love watching the country go in to meltdown. We get off lightly in my area and for that I am thankful, I’m hazard enough with the threat of ice and crutches although hopefully I can get rid of those as soon as I’ve had a scan done.

Well,
it’s onwards and upwards from here, last week seemed to be a tough ‘un for many people so fingers crossed we see some improvement.

    You look lovely hun, far from scruffy.

    We have snow which means I shall not be doing my usual 2 hour drive to work and staying local instead. The thought of being stuck miles away doesn’t sound like the perfect start to the week.

  8. I like the outfit, the lace beneath makes a lovely contrast.

  9. That dress really is stunning and looks amazing on you! I hate those days where you can’t help but feel scruffy, utterly sucks! But trust me you look lovely, I’m incredibly jealous of how good you look on scruffy days – I look like I’ve just crawled out of a hole! Hope you feel better soon!

  16. I don’t know if the dress makes you look smarter, the glasses do the trick.;) But the dress is very mod, it’s gorgeous! And the last picture – beyond gorgeous!!

  17. I really like that dress. My week’s going better than last week (well, so far!) xx

  18. I hope you feel better soon. I love this outfit!

  19. You look fabulous as ever my lovely, that outfit really suits you. We only got a very light dusting of flakes that melted so quickly here, I’m kinda glad but if the snow had stuck it would have been an excuse to buy some fancy pearlescent wellies! x

  20. I love that dress! I scowered Matalan for it when it was out but alas, never in my store or size!

    Hope your feeling a bit more cheer soon xx

  21. Ice and crutches do not sound nice together!
    And it just started snowing here too.

    Also, you look great, as always:) I’m sure the feeling you’re having will fade eventually. It might have to do with winter as well. If it’s as grey there as it is here it is hard to stay together and up beat.

  22. That dress is really pretty, I love the sixties. I don’t think you look scruffy at all
