In between writing up (yet more) assignments, I've been taking breaks to schedule some outfit posts. Hopefully I'll be able to start writing up some posts that are a bit more interesting sometime soon.
It's not often that I wear my hair down in its natural (i.e. uncurled) state but this was just one of those days I didn't want to do anything to it at all. Oh, and yes this is another plaid dress I've added to my collection! I wonder how many I have now?
Outfit details: cashmere cardigan - etsy; 1950s dress - etsy; sweater clip - etsy; belt - My Baby Jo; socks - Happy Socks; shoes - same ol' saddle shoes I always wear.
I've loved sweater clips for a while now but these are the first I've bought! They are, as many of my purchases, from etsy. I'll definitely be investing in more as I think they're a lovely touch to an outfit. From a few I've seen on their cards on etsy, I believe they were to keep the sweater from slipping off if you just wore it over your shoulders. But, they're obviously great as something purely decorative, too.
A rare smiley full length photo of me (mum took it); I like smiling I just don't like always doing it on cue - one of my pet peeves is when I'm sitting somewhere, thinking or maybe not, and someone comes along and tells me to smile! And I know I'm not alone in this as I've had discussions both online and off about it.
Love,
Andi B. Goode

love the sweater clip,you really can never have enough.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress! I keep searching for the perfect one for Autumn but nothing yet! You always find the best ones though! And I love your hair like this too! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit, the sweater clip is so beautiful think I need to get one. And your hair looks so nice, wish mine looked liked that naturally. Yeah I hate that too happens at work, like I am going to sit and smile to myself all day?! x
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, lovely sweater clip. I agree that a clip adds such a lovely touch to an outfit. And I actually really like your hair in its natural state too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! The sweater clip is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love sweater clips. For a large chested girl with a love of cardi's they are a godsend.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog. Huge fan.

Andi, your hair looks really beautiful like that. You should wear it in it's natural state more often! x
ReplyDeletePerfect! Plaid + red + gray. My ideal outfit. You look so cute, and I love the sweater clips.
ReplyDeleteI won't type here what I'd like to say to people who tell me to "smile!"
you look super cute! great dress & cardi. I likey! x
ReplyDeleteWhat an obnoxious thing for someone to say to you! I've gotten told to stop looking angry before. I took a little makeup class once ages ago and the teacher said it's a curse of down-turned lips, she said that makes you look "perpetually pissed off". LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit, especially the dress. It's a particularly fantastic plaid!
LOVE this look!! Makes me really excited for fall!
ReplyDeleteLooking very cute :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! I really like your hair in it's natural state, it's lovely. The sweater clips are so neat.

So adorable! I love the sweater clip! Thank you for the lovely message on the post about my Grampa, Andi! xoxo
ReplyDeletethis might be one of my favorites of yours!
ReplyDeleteIt is my personal opinion that a girl can never have too many plaid dresses or sweater guards!! You look lovely in both and the hair suited the outfit perfectly too.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, I can't believe I've only just found it! That plaid dress is gorgeous, I'd love one in that shade but without sleeves :)
ReplyDeleteI also think that people who insist on others smiling is pretty stupid. I often get this bus driver who won't let you on and off the bus unless you smile...*cringe*
You always put your outfits together so well! I love this look! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh Andi, this outfit is pretty much perfection! I just love how you've put the colours together, and the sweater clip is a lovely feature accessory. Delightful!
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your studies :)

Oh gosh I so love this look - the dress and that red card are simply perfect together!
ReplyDeleteI bought two plaid dresses yesterday and felt a little andi love :)
Majorly cute outfit! Love the matching socks.
ReplyDeleteAnd sweater clips are great. There are so many fab accessories on Etsy that cost barely anything.
I love your toothy smile, plaid dress and super sweet sweater clips! Your matchy shoes and socks are a perfect addition to an already perfect outfit too. Seriously, why haven't I seen your blog until now because I think I'm in love and I'm off to scour your archives right now.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the sweater clips!
ReplyDeleteYay--another plaid dress! You should do a plaid dress roundup sometime--just to show off all your pretty plaid pieces. ;) I love the sweater clip too; I only own one but am itching to eventually add some more--they're so much fun to wear!

ReplyDeleteAdorable sweater clips! I think they held the sweater on when you threw it over your shoulders like a cape?
