OOTD: Skipping Ropes, Skipping Heartbeats

18 March, 2012


Fringe Leather Gillet: All Saints, £295 | Lilac Patterned Midi Dress: Vintage via Charity Shop, £3.99 | Red Velvet Doc Marten's: eBay, £112 | Necklace: c/o Smash & Grab| Black Velvet Rucksack: Urban Outfitters Sale, £7.50.


Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers out there, particularly my own, of course! I'm rather upset that I'm not able to spend it with her this year because of being stuck in Southampton. However, I'll make up for it next week when I go back home to visit Essex.

This AllSaints Gillet is the most expensive item of clothing I own and therefore rarely ever leaves the wardrobe! I'm a world class klutz, so if I wore it out frequently I'm sure I would accidently destroy it somehow! I didn't actually pay for it though, it was a birthday present a few years ago from my boyfriend. Good boy!

I found this beautifully vibrant dress in a good old charity shop a few weeks ago. It's absolutely massive on me, but it's nothing a little belt around the waist can't sort out! The summery, intense colours and aztec style pattern were just too much for me to say "no" and it was an absolute snip at less than £4! The backpack was also a bargain, I wanted it whilst it was full price at £40 before Christmas and I chanced across the last one left over in the stock room last month reduced to just £10, my staff discount on top of that made it a measly £7.50. I don't usually include bags in my outfit posts (I have no idea why), but this rucksack has been my 'go to' bag of the minute! I won this wonderful Smash & Grab necklace through the lovely Laura's giveaway. I am completely besotted with it as it is perfection in a necklace! I really suggest you have a browse through their website and ogle at all of the beautiful jewellery they have to offer!
