OOTD: ‘And the Tartan Coloured Lady she is mine….’

Another day, another outfit post, I’m kind of proud of myself! I have been longing to show you all this dress since I got it as I’m super in love with it. This was another Clothes Show  find from a shop called Junk Shop (pleased to confirm that there is nothing junk about this place!) which is a unique shopping experience in Manchester which has an interest in green ethics and recycling old clothes into something completely new. Obviously being the green freak that I am I am totally all over this brand. I walked passed this dress every single day I was there and in the end I had to take it home. I love tartan. I think it’s one of those prints that’s a bit marmite, you know, you either love it or hate it.

I adore the Alexander Mcqueen tartan dress that Emma Watson, Rihanna and Chloe Moretz all fell in love with this season, and so when I saw this I thought aha, I have me a rather adorable lookalike! I think it’s the little lace peter pan collar that did it for me, as well as the long sleeves, because not enough dresses have them and it kind of irritates me. I added a belt because I kind of feel like it needs breaking up in the middle, however this is such a horrible belt, it’s just so big and ugh, no idea why I got it now!

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday planned. I’m actually writing this on Saturday because I’m trying to be more organised. I have actually for once, in my 4 or so years of blogging, finally made a list of post ideas. I’ve never really done this before, but it’s also the first time in forever I got myself a diary. I know, I know, the shame of not really having a diary, I’m such a chaotic mess like that!

Oh, actually a few things before I end this post. I think the dress was £35, which is to me a wonderful bargain for something so beautifully handmade and secondly, the shoes I am wearing are the same as yesterday, so if you want to see a close up then you can click here to check that out. Have a lovely weekend everyone ♥♥♥♥.
