The floral dress

I'm a bad blogger, I guess. I only get done two posts in a month and in April there wasn't even one. I need to improve, I think. Right now I'm in love with this dress from Primark. Where I live, we don't have Primark which is on the one hand pretty good, because you probably won't meet anybody in the same dress on the street, on the other hand you have to buy them on Ebay and pay eventually a lot more than they cost in the shops. I wonder for how much they retail, 10 £?



I think I might buy this dress in black though. I've been on the lookout for a dress like this for quite a while now, and haven't been able to find something vintage for a reasonable price. I just wish I hadn't thrown away all my 90's floral dresses.

Strapless

I want a strapless dress for spring to wear over a striped or uni T-shirt, which is something I have seen on a variety of fashion blogs lately. I want a dress that has a fitted bodice and maybe a full skirt, not one that is actually a skirt worn as a dress. Lots of vintage sellers on Ebay sell skirts as dresses, maybe because skirts wouldn't sell so well, but I want a real dress, like the ones pictured above. I'm not sure at the moment if I want it to be floral or uni though.

Spring Wishlist

I have to remind myself of what I want for spring, so here goes the list:

• Vintage Gunne Sax Dress
• Vintage prairie dress
• Vintage floral and ethnic print dresses
• Some red sandals and some brown ones
• Vintage yellow peep toe shoes
• Vintage skater skirt
• American Apparel pencil skirt and full jersey skirt
• Cute coloured socks to wear in sandals with dresses
• Vintage navy or black blazer
• Black ballet flats to go with everything
  

I just noticed that i really like neutrals these days, so I will be probably looking out for colours like brown, cream and white, but also some pastels and yellow and a bit of red to brighten things up.

Strawberry Fields

Isn't that a cute dress? If only... If only I would fit into it. If you happen to have a 31" bust you can find it here among other fabulous things this Ebay seller has to offer. It's only at 9,99$ yet and still has 3 days left.

I heart seahorses

I'm really into maritime accessories lately. I'm still waiting for someone to give me that Alex & Chloe octopus necklace, I've been talking about. But I also like other fish like seahorses for instance. While browsing the internet to search for a seahorse necklace, which isn't too tacky, I came across this cute little necklace from Etsy seller Pollyannacowgirl. She also sells other funny things like the totally adorable Tea with lemon necklace and the Hermit crab necklace and some cute rings. They also come at reasonable prices, I definetely must get some of these when my status of being broke is over.

These Prada Tights

I'm obsessed with these Prada tights for spring, although I never wear tights in spring or summer, because I always associate them with wintery items. But they might be a good idea for rainy days in March or April, even May. Actually I do own tights like these in red. I bought them a few years ago, I can't remember where. I just don't know, what to combine with them, to make them look more springlike. I love the way Prada combines them here with the checkered dress and the silk print dress and with these gold and red sandals. I guess I will be looking for dresses like that for my spring wardrobe.

New Dress

 

I got this dress in the mail today.I ordered it at V for Vintage. I love it, although I think about shortening it a little bit. Since it is so high-necked and has a very full skirt it appears a bit like a little girl's dress. Or maybe I will have to combine it with very high heels in order to feel less girly in it.
