Channeling 1970...or somewhere abouts...





dress -H&M collar - ZARA tights?? Clogs - DEICHMANN Bag - Olivia HarrisRings - Rossmann

What would I do without my lovely blog friends? 2 hot cups of chamomile tea and honey later and I feel much, much better. I'd kiss you but I'd probably infect you with the remainder of my cold. Thank you so much.

Now back to business.  Remember that time when these dresses were all the rage at H&M and everyone was into the 70's vibe. I got this dress at around that time, only, there was nothing left in my size, this is 3 sizes bigger, and somehow worked. I've worn it before and styled it very differently HERE (WHAT WAS I THINKING?!) and seeing comfort and warmth were key today it was a no brainer.The collar is detachable, I bought it at Zara and I love it which means you'll probably see more of it. The tights 'developed' holes and I cut out the foot part, and they still work.

It was exciting discovering and re-styling this dress. I can't wait to re-style it again. Also exciting is the sun being out and me being able to play with the light again!

  11. Très chic! Perhaps you could sport a belt with it and a long necklace with beads as well!

    (And looking over the way you wore it originally...this is certainly an improvement, lol.)

    I also hope you feel better soon!

  19. This dress looks so lovely on you! And I really couldn`t tell it was 3 sizes too big! Love the collar - and so great that it is detachable so you can wear it with something completely different.
