a thousand words: What I wore this week

I wore this to college on Thursday. Initially I tried the chiffon blouse over a long-sleeved black top but it just didn't look right. I ended up pairing it with this purple cardigan.

Velvet ribbon and lace ruffle on hems:

Thank goodness I hadn't worn the long-sleeved top as the day actually turned out to be hot and the classroom was boiling hot. I was wishing I'd worn sandals! It's been so cold this year that this was the first hot day we'd had, really, so I hadn't anticipated real summer weather.

Cardigan: charity shop (thrift store)
Black t-shirt: Matalan
Chiffon tunic blouse: eBay
Jeans: Matalan
Necklace: Matalan (on sale)
Black shoes: Shoemarket

I wore this outfit to run errands. I wanted to share it because I wanted to point out that this floral top has a big cutout at the back - it shows your bra strap. It's also a little low cut in front. But when I shop, especially in charity shops and eBay, I look at everything - strappy, low cut, strapless, sleeveless, backless, it's all good for layering with tops underneath or cardigans over the top to make it modest!
