Lady Bug Says ... Holiday Outfit #4

Evening :)

This has to be my favourite outfit from my little break away, mainly because I finally got to wear my bargain charity shop dress but also because I almost look like I have a tan. Sadly it is all courtesy of Ambre Solaire and not from actually catching many rays!

I picked this dress up for a bargain price of £3 in one of my favourite charity shops. The label reads 'Etincelle - Made in Paris' so it was a perfect dress for a meal on our last night. I was drawn to the flattering shape and the quirky cut out detail, it kind of reminds me a little of the Topshop cut out dress that was doing the rounds a dew months ago.

I picked up these flatform sandals from the teen section in New Look after seeing them on Katie's blog - Caught Up In Cake and realising they were the perfect 'everyday' heels I had been on the hunt for. Let's hope the weather here gets a bit better so I get some more wear out of them!

Flatform sandals, New Look £12

White cut out dress, Etincelle via Charity shop £3

Gold cuff necklace, New Look £3

Turquoise ring, Primark £2

Outfit total £20

Lady Bug Says ... Thrifted and DIYed Skirt

Evening Ladies!

I thought tonight I would share with you a great charity shop find! Whilst skimming through the rails of overpriced Primark and questionable out of shape tshirts, I caught a glimpse of pretty coral colour and vintage-esque floral print. Grabbing it before anyone else could get their mitts on it I was even more delighted to find that it was a) handmade and b) only £3!

I still can't believe someone would give away an item that someone had obviously taken a lot of time and care to make!

It was a little bit long for my midget legs so it was a good opportunity to get my little sewing machine out and attempt to shorten it. For my first time I don't think I did too bad! Plus I managed to pick up the right colour thread in the charity shop for 10p :) I do love a bargain!

Much better after don't you think? I now have a small pile of skirts to get the shortening treatment, now just to find the time to do it!
