I have successfully completed my first exam of my second semester. Rejoice! Liquid celebrations were had all afternoon which is why these photos had to be rushed on the way home before I skedaddled over to The Antlers gig. It was such a hot day, I felt like I was melting all day and a dress without an elastic waistband probably would have been better. I changed for the gig into a fresh dress but didn't get any photographs.

I properly stepped out of my comfort zone with these photos on quite a busy bridge near where I live, spurred on by dutch courage but it ended badly with a lady shouting style tips at me and Mel about swapping tights. The joys of Leeds, eh?

The dress was a find at TKMaxx out of the nine dresses I tried on I walked away with two. It was an awkward length so I pulled up the waist band and wore it like this instead. I paired it with grey tights as there was a grey in the floral and everyone is fully aware of my love for coloured tights by now. I think this is a solid summer time outfit, maybe without tights as it was a bit hot. The lace head band was inspired by Erin of Calivintage's lace headband but it got infested by daisies by my friend Grace while we were at the pub.

Also, just a quick note that I'm also on chictopia here.
