Latest charity shop find


Lace Dress - Primark via British Heart Foundation £3.99

This morning I went for a walk and thought I would have another look around the local charity shops.  In the British Heart Foundation I noticed this gorgeous dress on the mannequin.  It's only Primark but brand new apart from one of the ties on the bust needs to be fixed.
The only thing I wondered is how I will style it as although I am very 'girly' I don't want it to look too 'little girl'.......any ideas?

I did wonder if peach lace is a bit too young for me but I love this dress so much and I love the fit and style.

  3. Really lovely dress, you could make it look a bit"tougher" as they say with a leather jacket and black pumps?
    on its own though i don't think it looks too little girl, just very pretty on you!

  5. Great find, Lisa! I was going to suggest black opaques and ankle boots and a black skinny belt for a more "rocky" look. x

  6. £3.99 what a bargain. A leather jacket and tights would instantly make it less girly x x
