Cardigan: Jay Jays
Blouse: Vintage – via We Are Large People
Skirt: Manque
Boots: Boots For Broads
I’ve had a very, very naughty week for self indulgences. First I ordered this amazingly cute polkadot blouse from We Are Large People (a plus-size vintage specialist on Etsy), but really looking at it… can you blame me? She had in a navy blue too, and I restrained myself from buying that as well, so surely I deserve a pat on the back for that.
Then, while I was at it I bought some adorable earrings. One pair went to my dear friend Fi (whose review blog you should really read if you don’t already) as a just-because present. The other pair I had to hold onto for myself:
Earrings: Le Petit Bonbon
She also has a matching hot air balloon necklace which I didn’t buy; so actually, instead of buying a top and two pairs of earrings (and, um, more stuff – but you’ll hear about that later) I didn’t buy a top and a necklace. See? I’m saving!
Well, I don’t know how you could have *not* bought that blouse!? It’s adorable!
And, as usual, I am envious of your fab red boots.
LOL! I’m so glad you agree, Veronica!
the red brings out roses in your cheeks. Lovely.
Thanks, Cilla – I love red 🙂
Thanks, Cilla! I’m sure a massive proportion of my wardtobe is red, actually – I’m a sucker for it!
Arrgghh… polka dot envy. And I so need one of those cardis – even though I’m a tight, tight budget. After all, Jayjays is super cheap…
It definitely it. I just love stripes, I can never say no to them. Cotton On’s got a navy version of the same thing for cheap-cheap, too.
Those boots are pure love – I want some! xx
Thankyou! I’d been looking for red boots for aaaages, so I was so excited to find them! I think they need to be re-soled though
The polka dot blouse is perfect! Great buy, especially as you do red so so well. And the hot air balloon earrings! You posted them before I think, and though I don’t change out my earrings anymore I immediately clicked through to coo over how adorable they were. And then I saw the necklace and I was so so pleased! It’s near the top of my wishlist right now.
Oh, you should definitely get it! It would suit you so well!
I love Etsy! I didn’t know it existed until I started following this blog…it now bankrupts me! I love the shirt – I’ve just been to have a look to see if they have another, but alas they don’t! Probably a good thing – I blame you entirely for my spending this month and we’re only 6 days in!!
BTW We Are Large People do a brilliant blog as well. The link is http://wearelargepeople.blogspot.com/
LOL, me too, Etsy’s deadly! It’s the ultimate procrastination tool, too!
That blouse looks amazing on you! Thanks so much for posting about it and linking to my shop!
Thankyou! My absolute pleasure!
Red most definitely is your color! You look absolutely darling and I’m lovin’ the red boots. God I wish I could pull those off!
Thankyou! Also, I think EVERYONE can pull off red boots!
You are NAUGHTY, but I will forgive you because my new earrings are the cuteness and I am totally painting my nails blue to match them on Saturday. And that is one cute blouse, but you know I’m a sucker for polkadots too.
Yay! co-ordinating nail polish! They’re candy sweet, because so are you 🙂
Fantastic!
Thankyou! 🙂
Red is your colour! You look beautiful. As always. 🙂

Aw, thankyou! I’m such a sucker for all things red!
This outfit made me feel happy. You’re like a spunky Diana Prince who’s forgotten to take Wonder Woman’s boots off!
LOL! I love that mental image, thanks for commenting!
Love the pattern mixing of the dots and stripes!
Me too! I love polkadots and I love stripes. I definitely love polkadots and stripes together
I’m in love in your boots 😉 and shoes 😉 all of them 😀
LOL, thanks M 🙂
I absolutely LOVE your blog! It is just fabulous – congratulations and thanks for sharing all of your great outfits. I was just wondering how you have found Boots for Broads. Were you happy with the fit of your boots? Was thinking of ordering through them as I am so hard to fit (I am only 5foot tall and have wide calves), and as your boots always look fab – I thought I would ask whether you are happy with the fit etc. Thanks so much 🙂
Hi Geri –
I had a bit of a problem with my first pair, but I sent them back to the folk at Boots For Broads and they replaced them no questions asked and at no extra cost 🙂
