The more mundane the task the brighter my outfits seem to get. We had to visit the local hellhole commonly known as Asda Living earlier to purchase additional plates and glasses for Saturday evening's dinner party so I simply had to dress for the occasion.
1970's era daisy print cotton sundress (Charity shop), Vintage Jaeger suede belt (courtesy of the lovely Nikki), Liberty silk scarf (vintage shop), Russo Platforms (TopShop)
A riot of colour amid the grey jersey joggers and saggy black leggings. The cashier told me I'd brightened up her day.
Dinnerware sorted, just got to devise a menu.
Barry M "Spring Green" polish day 6. and still not a chip in sight.
That liberty scarf just looks amazing with whatever you wear with it. Looks like you had a nice day down your way it has been miserable and raining here all day :(

Dear Vix,
ReplyDeleteGreat summer outfit!
I love 70s cotton dresses, they are so effortlessly stylish & your one is in a particularly yummy colour too.
Purple, pink & black go really well together & I agree with Kandi, that scarf is versatility in material form!
...xXx
Looking stunning as always! I love the colour of the dress – the belt really compliments it too. And those shoes are beautiful. I am always astounded by your finds!

You look fabulous as ever and I love the shoes. Barry M has got to be my favourite brand for nail varnish, I just can't believe how long it lasts.
ReplyDeleteI bet a dinner party hosted by you would be so much fun! I am loving your dress, the colour really suits you!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Asda Living before, not sure I want to find out what it is if you describe it as a hellhole! hehe x
Head to toe: Gorgeous, I absolutely adore your dress and scarf...
ReplyDeleteWhat vibrant colours! I love wearing lots of pattern and colour it makes my mood all happy, I'm convinced colour effects your mood.

That Barry M is holding up so well, is that with two coats plus a top coat? I usually just slick on 1 coat because I'm lazy and impatient lol!
ReplyDeleteFab dress, I was telling my friend Helen (who works in BHF where I volunteer) about your blog and she's going to check it out. I was saying your one of the most confident dressers I've ever come across. xx
You have the most unique shoe collection! Love the dress by the way.

ReplyDeleteWell Vix, you didn't only brighten up the cashier's day, but mine too. My eyes immediately flew to the beautiful scarf. This is the best 'how to survive Asda' outfit I've ever seen (I've never been to one, but if I ever have to go, I'll be thinking of your example!) xxx
ReplyDeletewow I love this look. your blog makes me happy. thanks for being you.
ReplyDeleteYou look perfect and those shoes are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI mixed polish and finally like the minty color. I call it "almost Chanel, but better, cause I made it ;)

ReplyDeleteThose platforms are amazing! I love how you describe Asda Home, its so true xx
ReplyDeleteI bet you didn't pay full price for those beautiful shoes, did you? Gah, I wish I had your bargain hunting abilities!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes!
ReplyDeleteVery envious as I can't wear peep toe as they make me look small and dumpy even though I'm not.
And that Liberty scarf is gorgeous too.
I hate Asda full stop - dash in, grab your stuff, dash out - no wonder they wear trackies for going in there.
Bet you made a pleasant change.
That dress is SO AMAZING xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the second outfit!! So colorful and beautiful.
