More lilies! This is one of my favourite dresses, a gem found whilst rummaging around at the vintage sale. It's buttoned all the way down with black plastic buttons and it still has it's waist tie in the same fabric. It sports a lovely v-neck on the back, although the fabric bib that lines it keeps peeking out because it's not been ironed sternly enough recently. Without the waist tie it would be looser, and have a slight corset and skirt shape to it. It's brightly coloured but it all meshes well and because it contains black it makes choosing a base colour easier.
Having said that, I'm wearing brown boots in the sun because today we return to Leeds and they are they shoes I must return in. Besides, the laces at least match part of the flowers.
I'm redeeming myself with my handbag, a fabulous bargain in amazing condition (I think the last owner must not have taken it out of the house). It's a scarlet lipstick red with black piping and gold clasps on the removable long cross-body handle, the inside is lined with red satin feel fabric. It's also by St Michael. It is a work of art: this is what people mean when they say fashion is art. It's perfect!
Falling in love with my bag aside, I am ready to swish away in the sun, hoping when I come out of the train on the other side it won't be too much colder!
Stay stylishly sunny, weather and readers!
