In Cahoots

















Hello!
Happy Friday! A while back, Nicole and I were exchanging emails and I asked if she were interested in doing a swap because she has some pretty awesome clothes. I've been craving dresses lately so I'm glad she let me borrow this adorable owl printed dress that she has worn many times on her blog. I love swaps because it allows you to try new clothes without having to buy them, but I also hate swaps because I tend to fall in love with the items that I have to eventually give back. This dress is so comfortable and I adore the print and the cut. I may just have to bite the bullet and make my first purchase from ModCloth soon!

The weather seems to finally be cooling down and I was able to finally wear tights in the morning on Wednesday. I didn't wear this outfit to work because I didn't want to ruin a dress that wasn't mine at work. The one day I wore a dress to work recently, it came home with a hole so I didn't want to take any chances. It was a good thing too because on Wednesday, one of the kindergarteners stepped in dog poo and decided to chase me around trying to wipe it off on me (I really do love my job). Hopefully I find a nice occasion to wear this dress before I have to return it. I can't wait to style the other items she lent me. Click here to see how she styled my peach floral dress.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Until next post,
Jasmine

  1. Ooh this is such a perfect print to make a dress in! I'm still so annoyed Modcloth charge so much to ship over to the UK otherwise I would happily buy all of their overpriced beautiful things. I might have to pester Nicole to do a swap with me too once I get round to finishing off our swap. I sewed on your button to the romper by the way so it'll be all nice and wearable when it gets back to you.
    Anyway, I love the colours together in this outfit, primary colours are the best and I'm gonna try and wear them all tomorrow. Have a great weekend Jasmine! x
