what I wore | pastels + satin



colour blocked dress: yayer (c/o)
satin bomber: american apparel
sliders: topshop

I still have a bit of a crush on pastels so this seriously pretty colour block dress from yayer had PICK ME written all over it. it comes with cute little cami straps so I can wear it over a white tee if I'm feeling a bit 90's but it's still floaty enough to make me feel rather princess-esque. 

I nabbed this satin bomber from the aa factory outlet in NYC and I'm still trying to figure out why it was reduced.. possibly because I look like an extra from miami vice in it? who knows.. the mystery continues.

 I had intended to wear with some dr marten style chunky boots and leather jacket but I threw on my topshop sliders at the last minute ..I wish I hadn't as the little blighters completely skinned my big toe after 5 minutes so I'm sporting a glam plaster/sandal combo, damn you tissue paper feet. 

I shall be going back for seconds though 'cause I love them.. be gentle ugly beautiful sandals.
