Sweet little pinafore tweed dress





After I arrived from my first day at uni today (which went really well!) I knew I had to write a post. I had meant to do it last night but I got caught up watching the last episode of Sherlock (omg! by the way) and afterwards was too sleepy to do it. So here I was editing a bunch of pictures I had stored in my computer to put up here, meaning to show some of my Christmas+Boxing day outfits, when, after editing these much more recent ones from the weekend, I just had to go with them. I just love this dress. It had been in my wishlist for 3-4 months, practically since autumn arrived, and I couldn't not buy it during the sales! It just kept there, in the UO site, smiling at me every time I went to check it! So with its lower price I finally gave in and got it, as well as a pair of brogues! I wore it on Saturday, was going to wear it on Sunday too, but opted for another plaid dress instead, and today, after putting it back in the wardrobe, opted for another comfy skirt+jumper option for school, to wear with the said new brogues. Anyway, I resisted wearing it so many times for now, but as long as it keeps cold by this side of the world, I am sure this dress will be leaving my closet many times. And wearing it with the brogues I will totally feel like a young girl going to primary school, which is a good thing, right?

Awww, it's soooo cute! Now you have me drooling over it too on the website. It fits you really well and I love the colour. I'm in full-on pinafore obsession mode so this is pretty much perfect!

I LOVE the dress on you, but the whole outfit is fantastic. Especially the shoes!!! What are you doing in uni now? Also, I've heard Sherlock is AMAZING. :)

Your tweed pinafore is darling. The colors are really nice. It will pair well with a lot of basics and neutrals. Good call with the boots and beret this time around - looking good!

P.S. I'm glad your first day at uni went well.
