i could treat you better but i'm not that smart









 Dress - Dorothy Perkins
Coat - Urban Outfitters
Socks - Topshop
Shoes - New look
Bag - 2nd hand/Dad's old









I'm wearing my gingham dress again! At the moment this is the dress I could live in for weeks. The print, the colours, the shape all make it such an easy and effortless item to throw on and it still looks like I've made an effort. I also like how different it looks depending on which coat I wear, because paired with this blue duffel coat is definitely a different look than with my green army coat. I also like how it's finally been cold enough for it to be weather-appropriate for me to wear this blue coat.

The National Archives have nice little fountains and everything outside, that make me want to go and feed the ducks and swans there. I used to love doing that when I was wee and wish I still took the time to do fun little things like that. But apparently I'm too busy being an adult and staying inside the archives reading about revolutionary propaganda and what not. Feeding the birds would be more fun though, I think! But I still wouldn't feed the pigeons inside the bus station like some crazy lady sitting behind me did last week.

Such a cute outfit! And great images as well.
I agree, feeding birds is a lot more fun than reading about revolutionary propaganda! haha

Stunning dress and I love the blue urban outfitters coat on top!! Ah walks through parks and watching the swans and ducks is such a great thing to do when you have free time. It really clears your head and its so nice to breath in that fresh, crisp, winters air xxx

Yasmine M - thank you, lovely! and it's almost as having multiple dresses when you can change the way they look by changing a coat etc, hah:-) x

Gail J - thanks, doll! these are pretty much the only shoes i use in the winter, haha.. and i wish i actually lived somewhere this pretty:-) xx

Amy - thank you, hun! they aren't the worst-looking animal to have around:-) xx

Christina L - those are the best kind of dresses! and i do get where you're coming from, chick:-) swans can apparently be pretty aggressive, although i've never experienced anything like that myself. x

Jenna Opsahl - aw, thank you, sweetie! it's not the worst thing to read about, but the documents I've read mostly haven't been as interesting as you'd expect, haha! xx

Marlen - why, thank you, darling! and clothes that can be styled in so many different ways really are the best ones:-) haha, i can actually relate to that, even though i'm not actually afraid of birds, if they're flying too close to my head i might freak out. but i have no problem with water birds, haha:-) and you're more than welcome, i've got your back even if you stopped believing in it yourself for a while! :-) xx

Joseph Pulikotil - thank you very much, friend! you're always so kind! x
