Day 2 - Jeggings ChallengeIt was a tricky one today. I could have so easily pulled on my jeggings, they would have been so practical for the day I had planned.
Instead I opted for this dress from ebay, I will forgive you for thinking I've blogged it before, this is a navy version and is not a Darimeya, so some detailing like the lace is different, but what the hell, I like it and at 99p I was more than happy!

I've picked out the teal leaves with the top underneath (£2.50 - Primark) and the tights.
.
As the dress is sheer I've added a navy slip underneath. This is actually a cheap sexy nightie from Asda £1.50 in the sale, it's never going to make it into the bedroom, but is perfect for under dresses.

The orangy brown in the print matched nicely with both my long boots and my new wedges (£7.50 in Debenhams sale)...it is a gorgeous day 
and the sun was out but I'm glad I chose the former as there was a bit of a chill in the air.
and the sun was out but I'm glad I chose the former as there was a bit of a chill in the air.I was thrilled with the goodies I found on the haberdashery stall at the market, This little lot cost me £1.90 and I should be able to make some cute little 
accessories to enhance my wardrobe.

I've already made this necklace based on one I spotted in Asda last week. I almost bought it but it was quite thick and I like the smaller subtle version I made. The bottom is tied in a Reef Knot and ends are secured with a tiny bit of sticky tape. Total cost 90p.
Now what to do with the ribbon? - Any ideas welcome!
Don't you look beautiful in blue, Vicki? Teal's one of my favourite colours, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, as always and I'm loving the haberdashery bits...I'm a sucker for pretties.
I'm thinking that you should adapt the ribbon into a corsage, perhaps tack along one side and pull the thread tight so it scrunches up into a rosette then sew a pretty button in the centre.

You look gorgeous in that colour, I love the dress and the boots together. Like your haberdashery haul too, I had the same idea as Vix for the ribbon! haha. Oh, to prevent fraying you can dip the ends in PVA (white) glue instead of sellotaping or sewing them up, too. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, I have some tealy/turquoise tights that I must wear, you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteLove the coloured tights and wedges!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit clueless about haberdashery - I'm very drawn to pretty ribbon etc but I never quite know what to do with it. Vix's idea sounds great though :)
I love teal and it really suits you. I'm desperately looking for a teal cardigan.
ReplyDeleteI love wedges, I have a pair very similar to that. I can't wait to get them out again.
I don't do crafty things except cross stitch but Vix ideas for the ribbon sound great.
