Post that I am waiting on




I am very uncomplicated when it comes to casual clothes, put a bow on it and some frills and I am happy with a bit of everyday cuteness. I like an excuse to wear my fancy dresses (tea in a country house, a friends wedding, a gallery visit) but for daily wear I prefer not to stress over getting pet hair, a stain from one of my dogs jumping up or snagging a nail on a 160 euro dress particularly now that I live in the countryside and the roads can get muddy after a rain.


 I did a big shoe stock up during the summer to replace my dead shoes so it's mainly blouses, plain skirts, multiples of a skirt dress that I hope makes good daily wear, a few accessories and some printed items I like the look but but am generally iffy about (like the rose bouquet dresses the bodice looks strange, but I can chop them down to skirts). I like the overall look of cinderella bunny but not sure if the sweetness will be overpowering, most of these are from the bodyline birthday flash sale and ridiculously cheap.  

I really hope the wine bows match this baby skirt, I love the print, reminds me so much of gone with the wind.










I also ordered a few collars to dress up cardigans, and berets (that are so plain they don't really warrant a photo)



I  am a bit of a hoarder and already have a few go to winter coats, but was looking for a pale winter coat so ordered l460 in beige as it is good quality and warm according to the  reviews. I already own this Dream V coat and it's gorgeous although not very warm it suits the early days of autumn.




My winter coats are princess cuts from collectif, pure wool, full circle skirted and very heavy.






I love vintage as well, and bought a few bits from the end of summer collectif sale


Black basic cardigan. It's got a dot pattern knitted into it, and their cardigans last.
Full knee length circle skirt, reminds me a bit of drained cherry but with polka dots instead of bows.
I can honestly vouch for Collectif, I bought this blouse and the below skirt last year and they are still going strong. This blouse is so versatile and durable, warm too.

Navy calf length circle skirt, can you tell I like polka dots?


I also went a bit mental at artscow



 I've ordered a printed skirt off them before as a test order, and to my 5'2"  they hit mid knee, they are also full circle skirts, so can take any petti you can stuff under there. I wore mine with an underskirt as well.






Deer skin print, and muchacha print leggings (rabbit toile from a postcard book in a mook) to wear with boots and a skirt.
I also made a couple of vest of paintings I like.
