Does anyone else have that certain thing hanging up in their wardrobe that they've worn to absolute death and the cost per wear is about 0.001p?
Mine is a fairly ancient plain black tunic/dress from Dorothy Perkins. I can't remember how old it is or how much it cost (probably not much, I've always been a cheapskate!) but I liked it so much at the time that I went out and bought it in blue as well (seen here). The blue one curiously disappeared for about 3 years - no idea where it went, it just reappeared in the ironing pile one day! So the black one has had a lot more wear but it's holding up nicely. Too big now of course and I should really get rid of it but I thought I'd try it with a belt today and that seems to have stopped it looking too enormous.
Dress - Dorothy Perkins
Cardi & belt - Primark
Tights - M&S
Shoes - Irregular Choice via ebay
Pashmina - ancient
Bag - gift - I think it's Oasis
I can see why it's an old favourite - what a versatile piece.
ReplyDeleteLooking very smart today - like it a lot :)

ReplyDeleteMy favourite item has to be my £1 denim waistcoat which I've had for about 15 years, I've worn it on my travels around the world and it always feels like me as soon as I put it on.

ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, I have a few things that are very much past there sell by date but to me are still amazing as they were the day I purchased them!
ReplyDeleteIt really made me laugh what you said about the blue version, that went missing for 3years then reappeared one day, I so know the feeling, us girls what are we like? :)
And the Irregular Choice shoes look pretty amazing x
Mine's probably something really lame like my black jeans or something...
