This weekend the lovely Betsy Hatter got married!

Mr & Mrs Hatter had a beautiful wedding at a local venue out on the country called the Keeper and the Dell.

It’s a beautiful place, but very rural, so normal wedding attire and high heels were very impractical. Ballet pumps were very much the order of the day for most of the female guests. I, however, decided that uneven ground, alcohol, sprained ankles and my own unbelievable klutziness sounded like a recipe for disaster. So for the first time since I was about 14 I wore DM boots to a wedding! 14 year old me couldn’t be parted from her DM’s for love nor money, so I think she would have appreciated the outfit, especially teamed with this amazing foxy print dress, it’s by Hell Bunny and came from the very lovely Attitude Clothing.

Attitude clothing

♣ Dress & Cardigan c/o Hell Bunny @Attitude Clothing ♣ Ears – From Hyper Japan ♣
♣ Belt – Vintage ♣ Watch c/o Shore Projects ♣ Boots – Dr Marten ♣

The print on the dress is completely amazing, little kissing foxes, and I got the matching cardigan too, which sadly doesn’t seem to be available on the website any more!

Teamed with my clip on ears I bought at Hyper Japan, I felt very, er, foxy….

I also, conveniently, had been sent a watch by Shore Projects with a polka dot watch strap that matched the colours of the cardigan perfectly. It’s like it was meant to be!

The watch has interchangeable straps as well, so I can match it up with future fancy outfits and drink mojitos out of jam jars lit by fairy lights!

In fact, I just noticed the roof of the cabin matches as well, I’m so co-ordinated.

There was swingball, lawn games, a fire pit, cake and many, many beers were drunk.

It was a magical day, apart from my swingball injuries a bruise on my finger (which still fricking hurts!) and a smack in the face with a ball, which thankfully didn’t cause any lasting damage. Swingball, it seems, is not my game.

I shall leave you, like I always do when I go to weddings and bore you with my outfit photos, with some photos from the wedding.

Take a peek, because Betsy Hatter wore the most amazing Irregular Choice Unicorn Shoes!

    I am in love with everything about this. I DM’s in my closet that have been there for 20 years. Every time I clean out my closed, I contemplate getting rid of them, but just can’t. I have no idea when I’ll ever need black and white gingham print DM’s, but I’ll still have them when that time comes. I can’t believe the level of cuteness in that cardigan, it is just over the top. Thank you for sharing, I am loving your fashion inspiration

    I must admit, I’ve not been a fan of that dress when I’ve seen it on mannequins, but seeing a real person in it has changed my mind right around, it’s lovely – I might have to order one for myself.

    Seems like it was a great wedding!
    I love that dress, the combination with your purple DM is fantastic! Which makes me want to weep that I sold mine (well, they never fit properly). Oh, I should get myself a new pair 😀
