Girl In The Pretty Dress

"Red is the ultimate cure for sadness" - Bill Blass I don't know much about Bill Blass but that quote seems kinda sums up this week. Whenever I'm having a trying time of it at work I like to compensate for my lack of confidence in myself with an outfit that says otherwise. This one works a treat. I bought this Mango shirt in the January sales and it's one of those rare purchases - the kind where you wish you'd bought two just in case you wear the original out.  Shirt: Mango | Jeggings: Marks and Spencer (longer length) | Boots: Debenhams

Before I sat down to do this post, I didn't actually know what Bouclé meant. I knew what a Bouclé jacket looked like of course - but not what specifically made it that. Turns out it's not the cut or the style, but the yarn (or, as Wikipedia called it the 'novelty yarn'). Anyway the point is, that yarn is a lot warmer than you might expect, I was pretty toasty when taking these photos.
