Outfit Overview: 28 & on a date

I mentioned previously that I turned 28 last month.  I went out for dinner with my babe man, yummed down and drank an awesome Lychee and Chilli cocktail.  Obviously I wanted to dress up but I am not really a dressy dressy person.  In the end I donned a simple long sleeved floral shift dress which I picked up a few years back at a vintage shop, my hazy memory thinks it was Beyond Retro.  Also, the Genesis of this dress did not look as it does now, no no no.  It started life as one of those 80s mid length waisted dresses that you see in droves in vintage shops.  The kind that no modern girl would see dead in but in a print that you just want so bad.  I took the elasticated waistband out, and shortened it.  A little snip snip, sew sew and you get your own one of a kind -to- you dress.  I wore it with my pink floppy felt hat which gave it a 70s vibe, and popped all the white accents of the dress with a white manicure which surprisingly didn't look like I tippexed my nails; and some white pointy sling back shoes.  Shortly after this photo was taken however the thin heel of my shoe got stuck in a pavement crack and snapped the strap! :(  I threw them away after; I left them by a bin in Soho Square ornately adding to the mystery of abandoned shoes across the world, but this time you know the story of mine.

Grab the look below!

PS. 100 days until I get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
