How overboard did I go on the Sailor look here??
This is what I wore yesterday when thankfully the sun decided to pop out again! One of my closest friends and the girl I moved to London with is due a little bundle of joy in a months time (How grown up does this make me feel??) so me and the girls hired a car and took a mini road trip down to South London for her surprise baby shower! It was such a lovely day, involving us all truly offending her by estimating her bump was triple it's actual size and betting on the weight of her baby. In two weeks time I'm going to anti natal classes with her as her partner can't make it! I'm thinking of making a video...anyone fancy seeing that?? JOKING!!
This little dress is from Monki, a shop I have total fallen in love with. Now that I have quit the shopping ban I am free to go visit their new store in Carnaby Street.
I'm off to soak up a bit of culture today, me and Danny are off to see the Lucian Freud exhibition at the Portrait Gallery then walking down to the south bank, got to make the most of this sunshine.
this looks lovely! love your boots. have fun today !
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! That jacket is amazing and dont't be silly you can never go over board with the sailor look :) Enjoy your day x x
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know I felt a little 'fancy dress' but then just had to go with it! x
DeleteCan't wait to try some Monki stuff. You look great. X
ReplyDeleteahhh so cute! can't go wrong with sailor-chic ;) x
ReplyDeleteYess love the double sailor look.. I saw the dress when I was there, so tempted to buy it but I did buy 3 items so felt a fourth would've been a bit overindulgent. But next time I go...! xx
ReplyDeleteHa, it's hard to leave with just one or two items in Monki! Such good prices too. Can't wait to see what you got! x
DeleteThis is beyond cute, I am itching to get down to Monki, maybe I will have to be a bit later to work one day.... x
ReplyDeleteId make a special trip in for it! :)
DeleteSuch a lovely outfit! you look lovely as always! x
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fab day loving the dress on you this style really suits and I am so visiting Monki when I am next in London xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, you need to it's amazing! xx
DeleteYesss I though Monki was only available in Selfridges! Now I can go visit it without accidentally spending on makeup ha.
ReplyDeleteI love the sailor look! Perfect for a faux-summer day
It would be mine
Ha, I know I used to always have to shy away from the makeup to stop myself spending a fortune! I can't wait to go to the store, I've heard good things. x
DeleteCute sailor look sweetie. Fab tanned legs too! I got the fake tan out about a week ago but should have taken a pic for my blog at the time as I'm back to being pale again now! I wanna go to Monki when I next visit London. I'm also getting invites to fashion events lately which I keep missing as I live so far away. Gutted! Need to move back down to London town! xx
ReplyDeleteYES! MOVE BACK!! xx
DeleteGorgeous dress, really love the cut and fit of it on you, if only I had your figure to pull it off!
ReplyDeleteAnd I too feel old now that people are having babies around me, and slightly jealous which is MADNESS as I've always said I didn't want kids!
xx
Thank you! I'm sure it would look lovely on you!!
DeleteYeah, I know although I bet we won't be saying that once the babies arrive! x
Such a cute outfit, and you can never go wrong with the Sailor look! Good luck at the anti-natal class~ ox
ReplyDeleteLove a bit of nautical theme! Dress is a perfect length. Hope you had fun at the south-bank never get sick of visiting there :) xx

I've been eyeing up this dress too, but I think it'll be a bit long on my short self. looks so good on you, especially with the boots.
