I can hear the bells!

On the 18th August, John and I went to a wedding of someone that he lived with whilst at university. I wasn't really looking forward to it, because I didn't know anyone and John tends to get somewhat drunk and wander off in these kinds of situations.

However, they are a fabulous reason to con John out of buying me a new dress :) and here it is! It cost £68 from a French Connection outlet in the York Designer Outlet Centre. It should have been £170 which made it seem like even more of a reason to make the purchase. It fits really well and ties around the waist so I can have my waist as defined as I desire. To go with the dress I decided on the colour scheme of silver and lilac for my accessories. So, I bought these shoes from Marks and Spencer online:

 

as you can see from the somewhat obvious price tag, they only cost £15! They were kitten heels, which looked perfect under the maxi dress and meant that I could actually walk around!  

Next to show you is my bag, which took ages for me to find and I stumbled upon the bag purely by looking on Google images! The bag is from www.fireflyaccessories.co.uk, it's a cute online shop which sell: silk handbags, shoulder bags, purses, pashminas, etc. Some of their products are Fairtrade too! Which is a bonus! Anyway. the bag was £15, with £1.95 delivery. It wasn't as big as I was expecting, but I could still fit my hipflask in it, so it's all good!

Finally, every (female) wedding guest shouldn't be without their pashmina. I couldn't find a lilac/grey/silver pashmina. So, I bought this one. That sounds like I didn't like the pashmina, which is completely wrong, I love it! It's lilac and pale gold and from Accessorize for £22! It's quite thick, which means I'm going to use it as a scarf in the winter. Just to make sure I've got my monies worth that is!

I thought I'd also include a photo of the finished product along with John looking rather handsome in his Dinner suit!
