Sometimes you just can't resist!

When I saw this Ted Baker dress in the charity shop for just £10, I just knew I had to try it on. It was my size and felt expensive. I found myself swanning out of the changing room and swishing to the end of the shop where the full length mirror was, turning slowly clockwise and then anti-clockwise as another charity shop-shopper ooo-ed and aaah-ed. Let's face it: I didn't need it. I have no weddings on the horizon other than the ones I am shooting, and a dress is just impractical. It is too long to be worn casually and requires dry cleaning.

So obviously I bought it!

It will probably live in my wardrobe until I can find an excuse to wear it, but I don't think I would have been able to walk away from it :P

Happy Monday Guys!

Say x

ps. I am going to Germany next Monday for a week, and if anyone is interested in guest posting about holidays or travelling, then email me on: sholt.03901@farnborough.ac.uk :) I would love to hear from you!

Day 8> Mix smart and casual

For Christmas I got a DSLR!! A Canon 400D to be exact. Ok, I wasn't exactly double-explanation mark hyperventilating about it as it would seem from the first sentence- I did bid for (and win) it on Ebay so it wasn't a surprise. That said, it is still amazing even though I have no idea how to do self-timer shots in focus with it! You can't really see the difference in photo quality as I compress the photos on my blog anyway, but I am really pleased with it. Oliver has the Canon 500D, so I can borrow his lenses :)

My mix of smart and casual was a plain black, belted skirt (thrifted for a pound!) and a printed tshirt :)

Rest assured, although I didn't take pictures or post anything about the challenge for yesterday (layer accessories if you are wondering), I still did it. I found a set of gold necklaces and wore all of them :P

Love,

Say :)
