I don't know whether it's because I'm getting older or perhaps partly due to my new job but I'm finding myself even more drawn to ladylike dresses and shoes. My hemlines are starting to get longer and my choice of footwear is changing to suit.
I love the snake style print and the side rouching on this dress, it's classic but with a modern twist.
On a more serious note :
I'm sitting here watching a documentary called "My Beautiful Friends" featuring Katie Piper (the girl who had acid thrown over her face in London 2008) - it's truly inspirational.
I read her book "Beautiful" cover to cover on the way home from Singapore in October and it's one of the best books I've read, if you get a chance read it! Her journey is incredible.
These are people who have had their whole lives turned upside down. I don't feel sorry for them, I am in awe of them, to have such strength and courage is very admirable.
The things that really matter are more than skin deep.

you do look very ladylike! especially love the red heels with the outfit to bring out some colour.
ReplyDeletei remember watching that documentary. what an awful thing to happen to anyone, can't even imagine how hard it's been for her. xx
I love this kind of look, very ladylike! Love your hair and shoes by the way xxx
ReplyDeleteI love this classy, elegant look - you always look so regal and lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about the book, I've been looking for something new to read so I may have to check it out.
Enjoy your week!!
I definitely want to read that book, it sounds amazing. I just finished a book about a man where I live who was seriously burned (90% of his body) and it's about him in the hospital/rehabilitation and was the most amazing thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your dress, it's ladylike but the print is so amazing and gives it an edge. Gorgeous look

I love rouching! The dress looks stunning on you and love the pop of colour with the red heels :) I caught a bit of that on TV recently, its so sad but definately amazing how shes handled it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. We must do coffee or something sometime and you can fill me in on good thrift shops ;)
It is a ladylike outfit, but I like that the red and snakeskin-y pattern give it a little punch!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the girl that had acid thrown on her! How awful. I'll look for the book on my nook right now.
I love this dress, and i love the look! Your pumps are so pretty. Classy and classic. it's a good style to evolve into.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
