The car said is was –8 degrees C on the way home tonight. Brrrrrr. Straight to pj’s tonight.
Here is what I wore on Saturday for a trip into town. Yes, those tights again *ahem* but they’re so goood.
Oversize jumper from vero moda, Primark tartan wool-esk pinafore dress, Primark tights (gift), Primark hat, TK Maxx boots (forgotten the brand), necklace (gift).
Do you remember the dress I was banging on about, the one with birds on and an asymmetric hem…
YES, this one! Well I ordered it Sunday and it turned up today (good service) but I have to say I’m very deflated to find the vest top is sheer. Now there is no way on earth you’ll be seeing my bra through my top, over my dead body. So when I try it on I’m going to be tough, if it flatters me then I'll see if I can wear a top underneath but if it’s not exactly what I want then BYEEE. I really would have expected it to have been described as sheer, the picture doesn’t show it as completely see through. I’m feeling rather grumpy. I’ll wait and see what happens when I try it on. GRUMPY!
I love the mustard popping against the muted tones of the rest of the outfit!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have tagged you on my blog... 11 questions. :)
Sorry to hear the dress isn't as you expected, it certainly didn't look sheer on the picture. Perhaps a cute coloured best top will sit nicely underneath? I'm not comfortable with visible undies either. Something's aren't meant to be in show...
ReplyDeleteHehe, I mean vest top and on show... Flippin' auto correct!
ReplyDeleteYay you are the best Christmas present-recipient ever! You wear your presents all the time!!! I love the tartan!!! Oooh, I've got a post to do soon which shows off one of your pressies!!!I picked my outfit to go around the necklace!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's soooo pants about the dress- I'm getting increasingly annoyed with all the sheer items that are around at the moment- no, I want nice proper thick, natural materials thank you very much are my thoughts! Hope it works out (Could you get one of those flesh coloured camis from M&S?!
What a gorgeous outfit! Im so sorry your dress wasn't what you'd hoped! hopefully it looks lovely with a top underneath! Maybe a shirt could work also :)

Augh, it's so disappointing when something you order online and LOVE isn't as you expect. But don't wtire it off, try a vest!
ReplyDeleteI love the mustard tights, haven't dared wear my similar pair yet! xx
Sophie I think we would get along so well in many aspects; especially as I (apparently) get grumpy at these sort of things!! My bf calls me Grump quite frequently haha! That is annoying though, that an item isn't described fully on the site and so arrives different to what you expected!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am a bit of an exhibitionist, so would wear a nice white bra underneath (altho I dont own a white lacy bra...) BUT you're right, it should be listed as sheer!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a lacy body? I have one in black with tank top type sleeves, so a white one could work? got mine in H&M, OR primark do those vest tops with thin straps and a built in bra thing?
I hope you keep it because it is all kinds of lovely!
I love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteBut I hate when websites don't specify whether a top/dress is sheer or not, such hassle when you discover it's not what you expected.
xx
You'll always have the tights though!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean though, it's horrible when something doesn't look that way yo uwanted it to. Would a vest underneath work?? Hope it looks good xx
I was so surprised when I saw it was -8 last night as well! Love your winter look. The tartan skirt is so perfect.
