When we went to the pressdays showcasing the SS’13 collections in December, I fell in love with this beautiful, textured dress from Vila. The open back, the silver lining, the tweed-y texture, the soft colours, … everything about it was just perfect! But, coming with a pricetage of โฌ50 and me not having a payed job at that moment (dang you, internships!)made it clear that this dress was not coming home with me any time soon. I bet you can imagine my excitement when I found this one at Primark for a mere โฌ17. I grabbed it, and then ran to the registers as if my life depended on it. Shopping the Primark in Oxford Street does feel much like walking straight into a death trap. I think I’ll get a lot of wear from this gorgeous this spring! Though, it does not seem to be that versatile.
How was your weekend? I spent mine exactly the way I predicted. On the couch and sleeping. K dug up his old Game Cube and we played an old 007 game and Mario Karts. I suck at Mario Karts. I always bump into things and I have no clue how to properly use the power-ups, haha. This slow weekend was perfect for re-charging my batteries and start the new work week with a happy and clear mind. I’m not really finding my words today. So I’ll just leave it at this today. Hope to be back on Wednesday!

Zo dapper om je cardigan buitenshuis uit te doen! ๐ Maar het was wel de moeite waard, mooie details op de rug. Ik zou net zeggen dat het jurkje bij heel veel materialen en kleuren past, doe eens zot ๐

Mooie outfit! Love the dress!
That dress is so cute-especially the bows on the back! It's such a perfect touch! I've been to that Primark at Oxford St, and was way too baffled by how cheap everything was to even buy much. I wish I had one close to me here!

Nikki, you read my mind girl! i was on a supreme online shopping mission last night for some more pastels to incorporate into the "wears" this spring/summer. when it finally arrives that is ๐
you've put the cutest look together, as usual! plus, it's winterized, so i love it all the more!! the back detailing on your dress is darling – i do adore a good bow placement. glad you found it again at such a great price point. that kind of score is the BEST! happy to hear you had a recharging kinda weekend too, we did also. burnt out from the week prior and just sofa surfed most of the time. so awesome! have a fab Friday lades!! xo โฅ

Ah hou van deze look! Alleen ik zou het zelf met een doorzichtige panty dragen. Maar kan begrijpen dat het daar nog wat koud voor is, haha.
