red, red wine

12/09/2012


dress: primark (about three years old!)
glitter flats: topshop
lipstick: mac ruby woo

If you follow me on Twitter, you may already know that i'm on a disco pant "ban". I seem to wear them far too much and they've unfortunately started to form a ladder so I'm giving them a break... hopefully they will recover?! Unlikely! Sob!

Today I had Uni and finish every Wednesday at 12:30 (not bad ay?!) - so this morning I just picked the first thing that appealed to me. I bought this dress years ago and I'm so glad I did as velvet never seems to go off trend! It's a beautiful deep wine colour, (which happens to be my favourite colour) and is the perfect length for my not-so-long legs. However, it does have the tendency to slip off my shoulders so I should have probably downsized, however I paired it with my leather jacket (not photographed) as it was a little chilly today, and I was good to go!

  18. Oh not hat's terrible news about the Disco Pants! I literally cannot live without mine, they're just so much more interesting than boring jeans! Annoying really because I forked out for a new pair of Topshop jeans recently and have hardly worn them!...maybe I should go on a Disco Pant ban too :p you look awesome in this dress, absolutely love velvet x
