Can you tell I have been watching Mad Men again?! 2 Mad Men inspired outfits in the space of a week may just give it away! I panic bought this dress with a credit voucher before it expired [learn from my mistakes: DON'T LOSE YOUR RECEIPTS!] but actually I love it! It is similar to this dress from Topshop but much dressier...
| Dress: Mela from New Look, belt: New look, shoes: ASDA, jacket: Principles, sunglasses: Accessorize |
I did take some photos without my sunglasses on but the light was so bright that I was squinting horribly in each one. For a change though, I was glad it was sunny, two of my best friends came to stay and we spent the weekend just chilling out and catching up...perfection!
| Sort of an outtake but it shows off the gorgeous pleated skirt... |
I wasn't intending to wear much make-up (if any) with this outfit but I was paranoid about my nails not matching with anything else so I whipped out my trusty lipstain to tie everything together. With the addition of some flicked liquid eyeliner, I was retro-ified and good to go!
Hilarious pin-up style pose.... with a Ford KA, oh what glamourous lives bloggers lead! ;)
What has been inspiring you recently? Do you panic buy clothes?

Very Betty :) Love green on you and it goes perfectly with the red lippy.
I'm a bit of a impulse buyer but I've started making lists on clipix and try to not buy anything without weight it up first and thinking about whaat I can wear it with x
That dress is gorgeous! I'm terrible for forgetting about vouchers, I had a bunch of Amazon vouchers from last Christmas and only realised they were expired a month ago xo
Wow, that's some great panic buying! The dress is so cute and a lovely colour. I've made a few panic purchases when vouchers are about to run out, in a funny way it kinda forces me out of my comfort zone as I end up buying something I wouldn’t normally.
