Dress: Vintage
Belt: Asos
Tights: Ebay
Shoes: New Look
This day was a wash-out. We had a big bike ride planned but it rained on and off all day long so we postponed and postponed until it was too late to go out. It was the last proper day of my break before starting work again too. We went out for a short ride and luckily, stopped to take these photos just before it started raining again.
I picked up this dress in London on Friday. I've been looking to add more yellow to my wardrobe and I just fell in love with this. It even has polka dots on the sleeves. I had to wear a slip underneath because it was so thin but that just means I can wear tights under it when it comes to autumn. I'm trying to foreplan my suitcase for Denmark and Sweden and I think this dress will definitely be in there.
It needed a chunky belt as it's a tiny bit oversized and needed something to pull it together. You can also guess I'm loving coloured tights this summer. I think it's the yearning to wear tights despite it being so hot. It's been raining today which I've enjoyed, moody weather to suit my moody mood. Work has been horrid but only three days left. When you read this, I'll be out for my leaving meal which I'm having on Wednesday as I'm having leaving drinks with the instructors on Friday in Camden.
I got my final payslip today and it'll definitely tide me over for the summer. I've saved a lot of money by staying away from new clothes for most of summer. I've had a few slips but I've grown to love charity shops and there's a few things I need to go and get tomorrow, fingers crossed they'll still be there. I love working near so many charity shops. I can't wait to get up to Leeds to explore the charity shops up there too. It's going to be a fun trip next week.
I'm listening to Arcade Fire's new album, The Suburbs, while writing this. I'm really liking it. What do you guys think of it?

Wow, I love that dress -- what a fun shade! I'm definitely with you on liking the new Arcade Fire, too.
Chloeee I missed your blog while I was away! I've got so much to catch up on. And I'm in Leeds this week too! Maybe we'll bump into each other.
This is a lovely dress! It's not something I'd instinctively pick up (I veer away from yellow & orange because of my hair) but this looks so right on you, especially with the tights.
Really covetting some white lace tights at the moment.
