maxi dress & faux fur collar

Hat - c/o Once Upon A Time, Turtle Neck - H&M, Maxi - Zara, Belt - Primark, Boots - Dr. Martens Serena


First of all I’m going to have to apologise for getting a bit carried away thinking I’m a snow queen. I don’t always realise the extent of my posing when I’m freezing my bits off in the garden. Instead I flick through the pictures once their all done thinking who the hell do I think I am. Ha. A combination of chilly weather, snow higher than my docs & bright sunlight results in my sulky-squinty face. Brilliant! 

It was probably the fur collar that set me off. It’s very Cruella Deville isn’t it?! I saw a girl working in Topshop wearing it & she just looked a big fitty. I don’t usually treat myself to an extravagant piece like this. When I say extravagant, I mean more than my usual tenner limit. It is only a fur collar after all & I am a cheapskate. I thought this one was worth it though. It’s nicely made & has a pleather edge. It's  those little details that got me spending almost twenty quid.. Eek I might have to have a lie down!

The dress is one that some of you will remember from the summer. I bought it thinking it was gorgeous, but not having a clue how to wear it. The low back & arm holes make it a bit of a pain to wear.. what bra do you go for?! I’m so glad I popped it with this turtle neck & can finally get some use out of it. I actually think the top makes the dress extra pretty. Mint on black is cayooot.
