what I wore: check + smock

otylia oversized checked dress: c/o misguided
fedora hat: topshop
boots: primark

ah this dress, I'm forever hunting down smock style numbers so this trapeze dress from misguided has made me all warm inside. it's pretty oversized but the fabric is heavy enough that it hangs really well (although I have failed to take a photo with my arms down to show this.. yes, brilliant work from me as always) it's also a TOTAL steal compared to others on the market so if you like swingy smock dresses this may well be your new bestie. 

I've wanted a pair of dr martens all winter but now the weather is picking up I took a gamble on these patent dupes from primark to tide me over (to my shock they're pretty damn comfortable) primark you are my little hero.

in other news it's officially been no tights weather today.. good job I'm not eager or I may have found myself trying on my ENTIRE summer wardrobe, but's who's daft enough to do that yet...
