the velveteen rabbit





Top: H&M
Skirt: c/o Ax Paris
Tights: Calvin Klein
Boots: Bertie via Tk Maxx

FINALLY I can wear these boots, I still remember the woman asking if I was mad when I bought them before Christmas whilst on crutches. Lady, at the price I paid I would have been mad NOT to buy them, so there! I can't remember what I paid, actually but it was around £20 instead of over £100 and having lusted after them since Bertie first released them I was, and still am feeling very smug about them.

I'd forgotten about this rabbit top (dress, actually) from H&M which I *had* to have and have worn all of three times. It's actually a dress but now I've gained weight it's a tad revealing for decency so I whacked it on with this faux leather skater skirt from Ax Paris and called it a top. Genius.

It's almost the weekend and this week has been a VAST improvement on last week so far. I even had the motivation to do some baking yesterday afternoon which is practically unheard of these days. Gone are the days where I bake all the time, often I think it's a great idea and then quite frankly, can't be arsed.

I'm sure there was something else I was going to mention in this post but I cannot for the life of me remember and I need to get a move on and head towards getting ready for work. I've earned myself the nickname "super woman" this week, however despite popular suggestion I am not wearing my underwear over my clothes. Sorry.

P.S. thank you for the lovely comments on my bodycon post. You lot are lovely.

I love bunny rabbits! I also love the look of your H&M rabbit top and your skirt, although I would veruy much like to have seen you wearing the full H&M rabbit print dress. I'm sure it would have looked much much better than decent. Regardless, your outfit looks fabulous. So what did you bake yesterday? Congrats on earning the nickname "Super Woman" at work! Regarding your response to that last popular suggestion, drat! I would have loved to see that outfit! Have an excellent day and a relaxing back home again afterwards.

Great idea to rework the dress! It looks adorable! I was thinking of doing something similar with a dress in my closet that I just can't wear anymore. I thought it might be a sewing project, btw I can. not. sew, but maybe I'll just try tucking the extra in instead! x

Calla said...
