Define Your Style ❤ Part Five ❤
January 18, 2010Luscious Lingerie – Vintage Inspiration
January 20, 2010Eyeliah at Style Symmetry invited everyone to her virtual birthday party this year.
Never one to turn down the opportunity to get dressed up, and considering I don’t have to actually fly to Canada to attend, I decided that it was a party I just couldn’t miss.
I even took balloons!
I also thought it was a great opportunity to give my new Mulberry dress it’s first outing on the blog. I have worn it once, before Christmas, but I failed to take any photos as I was too busy having fun. It’s probably my best Charity Shop bargain ever. In a gorgeous floaty silk chiffon fabric it was love at first sight, and it only cost £12. That’s TWELVE POUNDS! That’s a bargain for New Look, for Mulberry it’s almost theft.

And finally, on a less frivolous note…..
It’s been a few days, the newspapers are starting to get bored of the story, but the relief effort is only just getting underway and your support is as important as ever. Please take the time to watch this short video about the Red Cross relief efforts, which includes a direct link to the Disasters Emergency Comittee site where you can donate whatever you can afford to the relief effort.

looking seriously, seriously gorgeous here! What a beautiful dress – I always think Mulberry womenswear is really underrated. I think it’s still designed by Hazel from one of my all-time fave labels, the now defunct House of Jazz. Blah, I’m wittering. It’s early! You look great.

Why thank you!
That is a gorgeous dress and you look great in it.
What a fantastic find! Now that I’m in London for the semester, you must tell me where to go shopping in the UK!
I’m planning to write some charity shopping guides for 3 towns I know really well. I don’t shop anywhere else!
That is a sweet dress. I love the pattern on it; and thanks for the reminder about Haiti. Payday’s tomorrow, and I’m sending out my donation then!

That dress is BEAUTIFUL! Really flatters your figure 🙂
*whispers* It seems to make my boobs look huge! Which balances my hips!
Wow. That dress is gorgeous. I can’t believe you got it for just £12! I also found a lovely dress in a charity shop recently when I went in with a bag of donations. Unfortunately it was Primark/Pennys not Mulberry!
thanks for posting! I should have it up tomorrow or Thursday. -)

English charity shops are the best! More like boutiques. I was blown away by Oxfam.

You look so pretty, green is amazing on you
That is a fantastic dress! And a fantastic score at the price you paid. This is the kind of retro look I just love. So ladylike.
