I gave you a sneaky peek of today's frock a little while ago. Remember? The loud one? No, don't go getting distracted by how red my coat is. (Seriously though coat, are you this red in real life?)
This frock! The cherrytastic one.
I am still a tad bashful about wearing it because let's face it, subtle it is not. However I've run out of clean clothes and so I had no choice. This novel is completely taking over my life. I have no time for anything else at the moment (apart from waging war on Amazon's customer service department but that's a whole other long and boring story). I'm 41,600 words into the novel though so fingers crossed I'll complete the challenge! Then in November I can do some ironing and stuff and stop living like a tramp.
Dress - vintage
Shoes - Dorothy Perkins
Coat - H&M via ebay
Scarf - dunno
I absolutely love this coat and dress-especially together! I don't think its THAT red...I wouldn't even hesitate to wear them so rock on lady!
ReplyDeleteFab dress, fab coat. Good luck with the novel - I can't believe how much you have done!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the dress and the print.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the last few days of novel writing - I am impressed!
I'll be attempting it myself next month so I will be living like a tramp as you put it. Try not to laugh at me from your nice clean home.
Gorgeous dress, the colours of it and the coat really suit you x
ReplyDeleteI've always fancied a go at novel writing month but never been able to find the time - well done! And that dress is gorgeous! Just my cup of tea, but I do tend to dress on the loud side given half the chance! Jen x
ReplyDeleteWell, no it's not subtle, but it's so gorgeous it doesn't matter! And with that coat it's even better! Love it x

That outfit is so adorable. :) You wear bold very well. And I pretty much have that same coat, only shorter. :)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous. LOVE IT. You look fab in it and, oddly, the red coat makes the whole ensemble less loud. (Although loud is good on you!)

ReplyDeleteLOVE the red coat.
Christ will you stop looking so "bang on trend" cos if this is a tramp day, god knows how much you can glam up!!!!!

The dress is amazeballs. I love it and it really suits you. The red coat is proper bold. I would struggle to pull off this. Red does not agree with me at all.
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll be allowed to read your novel when you're done? :)

ReplyDeleteWords cannot describe how much I love this dress, it looks bloody fantastic! You should in no ways feel bashful about wearing it.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress AND the coat!! Perfect together!
ReplyDeleteTell me about washing/no-life issues. Between DIY and marking essays I have more clothes in the laundry basket than in the wardrobe...and the in law round tomorrow...erk, like something out of a 70s sitcom.
I am going to wear something bright, inspired by this post - that should cheer me up!
The dress is adorable, I am envious.
ReplyDeleteLove that dress, it's such a happy print! Looks fab on you hun!
ReplyDeleteNat x
Alex, it's simply spectacular x
ReplyDeleteI am in awe! 31,000 words is blooming impressive in a month! You're almost matching the length of my A level history project (I had 2 years to do it ) which was 34,000 words of waffle! Keep going, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou should be proud - it is a stunning dress!
ReplyDeleteAlso I REALLY like your "Very" coat from the post below - simply gorgeous!!!
Hope you are well?
Sal xXx
