I have had this dress for months now. I saw it on Etsy and it was love at first sight. The scalloped edges , the Peter Pan collar and the print were all screaming my name. And then it got sent to Australia by accident. When it finally arrived, I tried it on and found it pretty but for some reason it didn't look quite right. I don't know if it is just because I was slightly chubbier than normal that day or if I just needed to think about it for a while but I ended up putting it back in my closet... And got quite prejudiced against it. However, last week I was feeling brave so I gave it another chance, tried it on with a few things and fell in love with it all over again, but this time on me too.
So here it is: my challenging dress.
Dress - The Greedy Seagull on Etsy
Boots - Vintage
Denim jacket - Primark
Belt - vintage
I am not used to clothes being challenging since I am very conscious of what shapes and colours suit me, but this one took a while to tame, despite being perfect in theory.
Do you have clothes you took a while to make yours?
You make up is so cute. Love the collar.

Love it - the collar reminds me of Peter Jensen last year.
ReplyDeletebeautiful dress!
ReplyDeletei think it looks great on you, but yes I definitely know the feeling of trying to make a piece your own. the collar is just about the cutest thing ever. i don't think i've ever seen a scalloped edge down the center like that either. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand what you mean! I have several blouses that took quite a while to grow on me! Just discovered your blog!! It's cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the collar.. you own the dress, it looks really cute on. I love that first shot of your face too, you really do have the most fabulous eyes!

ReplyDeletelooking great ! it happens to me sometimes...i need to "click" with my clothes...
ReplyDeletethat necklace is adorable! where is it from?
ReplyDelete-
For those of you who asked, I am not sure where the necklace is from as it was a birthday present from my sister. She bought it in a little shop near her flat in Paris, that's all I know!
ReplyDeleteIt's very hard to imagine the words "challenging" and "dress" in the same sentence for you. You look great it in. Another battle down.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, this is amazing. i had that exact same dress but i wore it a few times and then sold it. now i kinda wish i hadn't. haha!
