Hows life?
Bank Holiday Monday here, and what a wash out. Here in Wales it's wet wet and more wet! Oh the delights!! :(
Well, i had a super dooper wonderful weekend. Me and hubs went to one of my oldest friends wedding parties in a real posh hotel in Cardiff Bay. It was AMAZING! We had the best time. She looked stunning and both bride and groom were beaming from ear to ear. It was beautiful.
Me and hubs had a drink (hubs NEVER drinks) and after the week we'd had, completely un-wound from our stresses and laughed our socks off.
I got to play fancy dress up too, which hardly ever happens so i was a happy gal. Will post the night doo outfit soon, but i'm gunna start with this new fav first.
It's by Yumi but i bought it on sale through Oasis for £25. The sixties feel to this happy little number makes me feel like a a super happy girl.
So without further ado, here's LYD (little Yellow dress)
 |
| looking rather mooooody! |
Cardi: Asda
Earrings & hairband: Old New Look
Belt: from another dress
Shoes: Old
Hair tie round my wrist: classy!;)
(does anyone else call these hair bobbles? i have no idea why i call them that..)
But, having said that, i really do like how it all came together.
Please excuse the bags the size of luggage under my eyes.. this old bird obviously can't take late nights out like she used to! (plus i slept in my make up! naughty naughty me!)
Another sign i'm getting old, i'm still shattered today!! No amount of coffee seems to be perking me up and i have soooo much to do. Wish me luck!!
So back to the grindstone i must go. Neo has a new wendy house and wants me to be in it constantly! Wonder if he'll mind if i just fall asleep in there.
I will be back soon lovelies, it's EBEW tomorrow so weather permitting i should be back with some nicely nautical themed outfit soon.
Take care
ALSO: Ladies if you would do me a huge favor (again) and click this link and "LIKE" it i will owe you big time!!!

Love that dress I actually tried that dress on in Coral in the Yumi Outlet in Clarks Village but it did not suit me as much x
ReplyDeleteThe yellow actually goes really well with the red! Lovely outfit.
ReplyDeleteOh Rachel you've brightened up my bank holiday Monday!! The red looks LOVELY with the yellow - totally looks like you meant to put them together. The shape and fabric of the dress is so pretty!!
ReplyDelete(Btw you didn't expect sunshine today, did you? Surely you know it's NEVER sunny on a bank holiday weekend, heehee ;) Enjoy the rest of today sweetie!!)

ReplyDeleteLove the details of this dress!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous! Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteI call them bobbles too! Don't know why though, my mum and sister call them bobbles so I guess I just picked it up! Xo
Sounds like such a fun weekend. I LOVE this outfit. I think the yellow and red work together perfectly in this look. It will be fun to see how else to dress up the adorable dress though - such a fantastic find! I just clicked like on that link - hope you win :]
ReplyDeleteI love that color combination!! I absolutely LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so pretty, I love all the details!
ReplyDeleteI love your LYD! Looks great with red - your lipstick is divine!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE LYD, I want it!
ReplyDeleteI liked the picture! Your yellow dress is so pretty and goes so well with your red cardigan! Your weekend sounded lovely too. xo

I really like how this outfit came together, too! Normally red + yellow makes me think of McDonald's (world domination, much?) but the way you paired it with the black tights & that dishy leopard headband makes me think of you looking super cute instead! Finally, no more visions of that creepy Ronald McDonald. :)
ReplyDeleteReally, Rachel, very impressive for an outfit that you didn't even plan.
You look so freaking adorable, as always!!

ReplyDeleteHope your dreary Monday weather turns around soon!

Ha! What a coincidence - this is the exact dress I was about to purchase on Oasis but they ran out of my size. We have very similar taste :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually like it with red. Yellow and red is a good combo, I think.
Gorgeously bright and sunny dress and I LOVE it paired with the red!
ReplyDeleteThese photo's of you are really nice :D Looking forward to the "Party" dress!
Already clicked the linky ;D
