Flowers in winter

29/11/2010 by chattermonkey

I cannot say how much I love this dress! It must be the best buy I’ve ever got from eBay. The dress is very flattering and the colours are my favourite. I decided to let the colours speak for themselves today and kept my tights and cardigan grey. I couldn’t resist putting on matching shoes though!

The sun in the pictures is very deceptive. It makes it appear a lot warmer than it was and the shoes lasted mere moments before I swapped them for boots. Speaking of boots, the new ones I bought as a birthday gift to myself have ripped! You can see which boots here, I have spoken to Evans HQ and been assured if I take them into a store I should be able to exchange them! Fingers crossed!

Dress – Evans via eBay

Cardigan – Evans last year

Tights – Simply Be

Shoes – Crocs

That dress is the most beautiful shades of blue!! I love floral patterns for china and fabric but I never really wear them, they clearly look great on you

  I don’t have many florals in my wardobe – about 3 or 4 pieces but the dress is so comfy – although a tad cold for today!

    Mmm nope, but I only started shopping at Evans this summer really so I’m pretty clueless!

I have that dress! Well I have the floral one but with purple/green/yellow etc and also the leopard print one. It’s definitely one of the best model Evans came up with. I wish they’d release it again with different patterns.

It looks lovely on you.

  Thanks val! I’d love to see your ones – I don’t ever remember seeing them but yes, I really wish Evans would do some more in that style.

  That’s ok Lilli, I understood! Predictive text is a pain sometimes!
