My Heart is a Drummer

Dress: TBA
Socks: ASOS
Shoes: UO


That's right. On my first day of no tights in England, it turned out to be the windiest day I've ever witnessed. Add on to this the fact I was wearing a silk dress, getting splattered by occasional rain showers and was in a part of town I'd never been before and you could say that this was an adventure. I wanted to share these pictures anyway because it took a lot of effort to take of my coat and pose in front of a glass fronted office. As we were leaving, my dress blew up over my head right in front of a business man going out for lunch. At least I gave him a story to tell on his return to the office.
This dress has been popping up over the blogosphere and I couldn't resist. I wanted to add some TBA to my wardrobe because all their designs are so wonderful. This is actually going to be my birthday dress as well but I couldn't resist giving it a wear before hand. Continuing my run of dressing 10 years younger than I really am, I paired it with my knee highs and t-bars. I paid the price. 
I was talking to my friend and we realised I either dress like a school girl or like a grandma, barely ever dress my own age. Does anyone else do that? Dressing like a responsible soon to be 21 year old seems so boring when there's so many other options out there.

That dress is adorable on you. I don;t think there is anything by TBA that i don't adore, they really live up to their name sake. I'm very much the same, I usually look like a grandma or little kid. I'm trying to embrace some other looks lately too though! x

Lol. I don't dress my age either! I dress younger than my students sometimes with all the bows in my hair hahaha, and older than my mom with my cardigans and loafers. I'm 21 too. All of our peers seem to dress kinda...skanky, which we are not. I'd rather dress like us than them any day. These pictures are so adorable! The last photo especially :)
