when every little thing you own is looking back at you..

today felt like a hat day..well, i saw this apple print sleeveless blouse in new look at the weekend and couldn't resist a quirky print, alond with pretty covered buttons and a peter pan collar (my sole nod to the peter pan collar trend of late!) but having tried it on, i realise i maybe should have bought a size smaller as it's a bit gapey..so i had the grand idea of tying the bottom..but that meant it finishes a bit too short for a skirt, as i'm not exactly in the midriff-bearing class of fitness..so i put it over this rather plain black strapless dress, and figured i would add the hat as i love the colour, which rather matches the colour of the blouse..
as for the shoes, i have this style in all the available colours, and shamefully hardly ever wear them! i love the turquoise shade of these, and the archtetypal mushroom toe of the early irregular choice shoes..and the contrast between the base colour and the white stitching details..my only gripe would be that i would prefer them a little higher..
