I know my gaze is fixed to the floor in the first two and I have a bizarre scowl in the last one but honestly, I had no time to take any better photos! I was in such a rush to get out of the house and then ended up missing my train anyway, grrr.

ps - there's going to be a North West bloggers meetup on 11th June in Manchester. If you want to come then get yourself over to the Google group set up for it. (Non-NW residents also welcome, obviously)
pps - the formatting in this post is driving me round the bend! Apologies if it's hard to read.

You got the Schuh shoes! I put mine on yesterday then changed them for some Primark brogues. Wish I hadn't, they gave me blisters on the top of my toes. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteYouve got such lovely hair, hope you didn't have too much cut off!
ReplyDeletexx
Gah! I love that dress - adorable! I wore those shoes the other day. I always forget how cute they are (and sometime I forget that they dig into the fronts of my feet too) x
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the dress and clutch and shoes, lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely job you have done on your pretty dress! That print does hark back to the past where that was a typical "summer frock" I don't normally use the word frock but it describes it well.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty floral shoes.
I have just read that you're FROM LIVERPOOL! Only a few miles from where I live. It's nice to read semi-local blogs, somehow more reality!
You look absolutely beautiful in that dress! xx
