This is the outfit I wore a couple of days ago. This houndstooth dress is close to my heart because my grandma gave it to me when I was 12. It’s some kind of miracle that it still fits me. My grandma must have bought it so I can get some wear out of it! Amazingly, I kept it all this time and it’s one of my favourites to this day.
dress:gift from ma; jersey: China Town; belt: Mr Price; tights: Woolworths; shoes: Mr Price; bag: factory shop;
I am loving and wearing much more brown than I ever have before. I think it all started with the love of the bag in these pictures and the acceptance that it is not really a sin to wear brown with black. I’m also quite smitten with these brown brogues I got at Mr Price last week.
I love this outfit, it’s adorable. I’ve decided to add you to my blog lovin’ list. Come check my blog out at mimimentions.blogspot.com

@Mimi, thanks! I am going to follow you from now as well.
@Melissa, I can’t believe I kept it so long as well. The Foschini kids label hasn’t washed out yet. LOL!
@Lauren, thanks and I would be honoured!
this outfit is so lovely. I love the dress your grandmother gave you, the shoes are stunning, and the bag is wonderful!
Your outfit is great. The whole story with the dress is so sentimental and cute. I am a also keep numerous articles of clothing from the time when I was younger. Keep wearing the gem
Love your brogues…where did you get them!
@Shareen, thanks!
@Efrutik, thanks and you’re so lucky you’ve kept many items from when you were younger. I only have this dress and I think one or two things from when I was a teenager. There are always certain things you can’t part with.
@Sasha, thanks! I bought them at Mr Price exactly a week ago.
I love a story behind an outfit.
Cute dress! Love the touches of brown with the purse, belt and shoes. Especially love those brogues!
