Pretty long title, but I was feeling quite poetic last
night as I was thinking about what to call this post. It's homage to my favourite
time of year - Autumn. It has always been the perfect season for me and I would
love it if we had this weather all year round, but alas, it's only a short
bliss. As much as the title is unusual for me, so is this outfit. I have made
no secret in holding more than slight umbrage for a full on black outfit. I
love colour and tend to express myself through my clothes, which is why it
black is scarcely in my wardrobe.
It would take a gem of a dress to break this, and
Vivien of Holloway delivered.....well, they delivered some time ago as I bought
this dress a couple of years ago but had never worn it (re see above). It was
relaxing in the back of my wardrobe while I spun around in colourful dresses
without a care in the world. I came across it while I was having another
clear out and scorned myself for leaving it unloved for so long. How could I
have done such a thing? It's flipping gorgeous!
Dress: Vivien of Holloway
Cardigan: H&M (Brown not available online but should be in
store)
Belt: Simply Be^
Sandals: New Look^
This halterneck dress is from their Luxury range and I
bought it during one of their in-store sales. I love how the intensity of the
black satin is broken up by the lace overlay. The neckline is super feminine
and the nip in the waist is great for a belt accessory. Other accessories
included my dark brown cardigan and the most beautiful of beaut sparkly
sandals. I adore this outfit and although I may change the footwear with the
temperature dropping, a pair of fab ankle boots will have me walking through
the multicoloured leaves with joy.
'til next time.
Love and hugs,
