this old thing

This dress is another of those that I’ve debated getting rid of. For months on end it sits forgotten in my wardrobe and my hands hover over it every time I do a clear out…but then, I put it on and decide I can’t possibly get rid and I WILL wear it more.

How many months before it sees the light of day again?

I think it must be five years ago when I bought this dress, on a random venture to Asda. I don’t know why I bought it at the time; it didn’t match my jeans and hoody kind of style, and I wasn’t working so had no office to wear it to..but I did, and now it works. Perfectly. I WILL wear it more.

The boots were a bit of a bargain from New Look, half price at Β£17.49, then a further 20% off with the help of a voucher from their latest magazine. Β£13.50 for suede heeled boots? Yep.

Finally Friday! Oh, it’s been a long week. Roll on 5:30 eh?

Weekend plans anyone?
