Dress: Urban Outfitters UK; Boots: Senso; Vest: Joyce & Jade, Bag: Tilkah; Necklace: Markets
My friend Jade told me I looked like a 'hot Amish girl' this morning in this get-up. I'm not sure Amish girls would be able to get away with the little come-hither slits on this dress - slits on a midi floral dress...the best kind of contradiction.
One of the greatest joys of adulthood and full time work (not being sarcastic, bear with me), are the weekends. To fully appreciate the weekend, you need to have worked in retail. And you need to have worked in retail during Christmas. Weekends were an unknown commodity that other people enjoyed all throughout high school and university. Countless days spent inside kissing the feet of the consumer only to weep at the volume of beach photos on Instagram from other people as soon as I got home. I happily now spend my weekends romping, buying gourmet food items that are out of my budget and unnecessarily complicated (activated anything, anyone?), catching up with friends, laying by the pool reading or studying and generally appreciating what an incredible joy weekends actually are. With the weekend comes the weekend-end, and although I'm now staring Monday dead in the eyes, I'm still happy and relaxed. Maybe it's just the single glass of red wine I've had (my tolerance for alcohol has not improved yet, still. I often go out on one glass of red. I calculated it takes me $2 worth of wine to get tipsy. True story.)
