Lace and Stripes

This is a simple outfit I threw together when me and Ash went out for a meal. We were supposed to be going out with a bunch of his work colleagues but they cancelled at the last minute so we decided to go to TGI Fridays and have dinner and cocktails instead =] I ate so much that I couldn't manage desert and had an ice cream cocktail called a Mudslide as a substitute! So so yummy!

I took this in a rush before we went out so once again it's in the hallway. I think this is actually quite a good location for outfit photos though because there is a huge window so the light is good and I can rest the camera on the windowsill. It'll be much better if we ever get it finished!


What I'm wearing:
Blouse: H&M, it was a gift from my friend Kelly, who grew out of it. I had to cut the cap sleeves off because it had narrow shoulders (or maybe mine are wide?) but it works fine as a sleeveless blouse under a jacket =]
Jacket: A cheap shop on my local high street, I've posted it before here. I added the lace a while ago because that's my universal solution to 'this doesn't look quite right, definitely needs something...' =P
Black skirt: River Island via a clothes swap.
Cream tulle skirt: New Look. Birthday present from my mum this year =]
Brooch: Charity shop
Hair flower: H&M, 2 for £1.99. I wore it with a ribbon as an alice band.

    That jacket is adorable. Now I have to keep an eye out for a pinstripe jacket :D

      Thank you! I saw some very similar to this in New Look, but that was last season I think. Jillian Venters always says that ebay UK is where the stripy blazers live so it might be worth checking there!

      Thank you! I'm not sure that all of my wardrobe is awesome (although I love it) but it is rather extensive and so occasionally happy accidents occur! They occured more frequently when all my clothing way in one house though =P

    Lovely outfit <3! So that's two skirts put together; nice idea! They look great together. I love that jacket, you were very lucky to get it at a low price <3
    Also, I agree, that's a good location for taking outfit pictures. The light is good and there's no furniture or decor, so we can just focus on you and your outfit ;)

      I often when 2 skirts together because I have many which are a little shorter than I'd like so I started layering them. It's good for warmth too in the winter!
      I often get lucky with cheap clothing if I'm with my mum, she's a shopping genius!

      I'll have to take some more pictures on the stairs then =]
