[Trixie] Retouched


I know, I know.
The bubble hem is "so 2008" but I don't think it looks that out-dated, right?


My sister actually gave me this dress.
She bought it from New Look in England :)

Seriously, all my favourite clothes are from her!


This dress was actually a plain denim shirt dress with a band as a hem.

But I folded up the band and added the lace down the middle.
What do you think?






That is me trying to shield myself from the sun...
HAHAHAHA!


And this is the ring that I'm wearing.
It's so pretty!
But the sharp, metal edges are really pointy...
hahaha

Hope you had a good weekend!

    I think the lace makes a lovely addition to the dress. And no worries, trends come and go, but if you can rock something even if it's considered "old" then definitely work it!

    The detailing on the dress is gorgeous, adore lace atm. I don't think the bubble hem looks outdated, I say wear whatever you feel like, regardless of the trends!

    You should really get your hands on a pair from RUBI! It's amazingly affordable and the designs are outstanding for it's price. However the sizes are the biggest hassel, finding your right size can take forever if you don't get in first! Let me know if you do ever get a chance to visit RUBI! Hehe!

    Ps. Did I ever tell you that rose ring is just adorable?
