My handbag is also from LK Bennett - 'Gala' in taupe - a couple of seasons ago, but I think they still have them in some of the outlet shops.
I do like the dress but on seeing the photos am unsure whether the criss cross pattern is flattering on a less than svelte figure :-0
Today's outfit is also maybe a bit too 'matchy-matchy' for my liking - it's amazing (but obvious I suppose!) how taking pictures can allow you to critique your look more effectively / objectively.
Not being 'worn' today..... but I also wanted to post my lovely new Anya Hindmarch 'Girly Stuff' pouch. I have an ancient polyeurethane (?) version which came free on a magazine yonks ago. I use it to ensure that all my 'must haves' travel stylishly from bag to bag when I change handbags (cards, other essentials, concealer, lip balm, pen etc..) The old freebie one is falling apart, so I've invested in a new 'proper job' as it proved so useful and looked so good.
It looks tomato red in the photo - but is in fact a dark metallic raspberry colour - not my first choice perhaps - but it was on sale at an outlet - so couldn't be too choosy. It normally costs £95 from the Anya Hindmarch website but I paid £50 at Bicester outlet :-)

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging! Great to have another stylish mum join the ranks. It made me smile when you said about things looking different when you see a photo - how true! I realised that very soon also. I have chucked so much of my wardrobe after seeing photos...it's a brilliant way to critically assess your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLoving your handbag and yesterday's scarf. Defo do more close ups if you can-I'd love to have seen your sandals from yesterday as they sound like a fab bargain! Email anytime if you want to ask anything or just chat. Oh, and thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, Avril x
Hi Avril, thanks so much for commenting on my blog! I'm looking forward to doing this and comparing notes / sharing ideas. I have a feeling I will also be doing a rather ruthless (but well evidenced) edit before too long!
DeleteI will do a close up of the sandals later - they are very bargainous. Asos still have them in stock in most sizes I think, if you're interested, plus other colours. (They are 100% leather too!)
