Sitting around in style

Asos Curve dress, F21 tights, JFK shoes (via Yoox), Dorothy Perkins ring. The black patent belt came with another skirt I think.

Yesterday I didn't have to go anywhere but I still wanted to dress up, so I took the chance and wore something I wouldn't normally wear if I actually had stuff to do - mostly due to the skirt being a little too short for my taste.
Also, as with most of the items made specifically for plus sizes, the waist of this dress is a little too high for me, but it was on sale, I liked the color and thought I could just buy it to wear at home.

I got the shoes from Yoox - it's one of those labels I'd never heard of before but since they offered free returns, I thought I'd try them. And boy, am I glad I did. They're made of real suede and I think the color is so pretty, especially with the satin details. I can't wait to wear them with all kinds of tights in the fall. I'm getting a major 70's vibe from them, but in the best way possible. They were really inexpensive, too... I think I paid 45 Euro but they're now reduced further if I remember correctly.

I love it when impulse purchases turn out to be so amazing :)

Thank you for visiting ♥

  1. This is such a beautiful outfit on you! It might be shorter than you feel comfortable in, but you look stunning! I adore the aubergine/plum purple- even more so with your hair colour and complexion. It's definitely your colour. And I really love the mixture of textures- it just works so well. I love it all! Parfait!

  6. The dress is beuatiful, I really like the color and the little ruffled details, especially on the shoulders. It doesn't really look too short to me - and since you usually wear high heels, it makes your legs look really long.

    I always wonder, how come all the shoes you buy online fit you? I'm scared of getting a pair without trying them on, but the online selection is much greater than the real life one, so I'm torn. XD

  7. Thank you all for your lovely comments :)

    @ Vita: they don't all fit me, I often send things back, but I usually just don't write about shoes I can't keep. I think I sent back 3 pairs in the last month alone, and I kept 5. Far from perfect, as you see^^ so I usually only order from stores who offer free returns like Asos and Yoox :)
