Smart casual

Dress: H&M, Belt: unknown, Tights: River Island, Shoes: Topshop

This evening I attending my mum's work leaving do. Having only got back from my three week France trip yesterday I was completely exhausted and all my clothes were dirty. Luckily I had this cute H&M shirt dress at the back of my wardrobe, and although it's way too short for this kind of event I chucked on a pair of thick black tights and went with it. In my move from uni to home I seem to have lost all my belts so I had to root around in my mum's stuff for any black belt, this woven number was the only one she owned. I would have loved to have worn a cute brown one as I was wearing my brown leather bag but alas. 

I've been dressing for mid 30 degree weather so coming back to England was a complete shock to the system. I wanted to show off my (now very faded) tan and ditch the tights but it was far too cold and the dress is far too short, sadly. I have missed wearing my big clompy black boots however, I love how 90's grunge they feel and the heel makes an awesomely satisfying sound on hard wood floors.

I'll be posting some France pictures soon. It was so hot (like 40 degrees some days) that I didn't look all that great most of the time, but hopefully some of my outfit photos came out not looking too bad. It feels lovely to be back on British soil though - I didn't realise how much I loved the quirky British sensibilities like queuing until I was away for so long!
