Its my birthday and i'll wear a short dress if I want to...






Dress- Monki
Shoes- New Look
Bag- Topshop 
Watch- Vintage
Bracelets and Ring- Gifts

My friends threw me a wee surprise birthday night out the other day so this was a 'throw together and run out the door' outfit. I really dont like proclaiming to the World its my birthday so black was the perfect choice to blend into the background. And as Karl Lagerfeld once said;

'One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress'

.. Gads I love Karl. 

I love all things pink, sparkly and feminine so added this coloured bag, pink nails, coral lips and rose ring. The only down side about this bag is that its suede and therefore gets sooo mucky if I put it down anywhere so its either being clenched between my teeth, between my knees or under my arm, slightly awkward but I love it too much not to take it out!

I've pretty much lived in this dress the past few weeks, its a tie around dress buttoned at the front with kimono sleeves. It didnt sit well on the hanger at all, since it wasnt tied at the waist and just looked like a sack, but the sleeves reminded me of Geisha's style and I was feeling brave. In the end, I should really feel brave when im shopping if it picks me up nice dresses like this.
