The Smock Dress
Somehow I’ve managed to avoid wearing a smock dress all year, even though I’ve spotted numerous ones that took my fancy! I suppose good things come to those who wait, because Vintage Style Me‘s new collection of autumn smocks is beautiful; this bird print is in a lovely faded green colour, and the material is heavy and perfect for the cold! I’m more than a little bit in love with it, and have a feeling its floatyness will be much appreciated around Christmastime ; ). My trusty Zara hat wins for racking up the most amount of compliments when I wear it; if clothes had thoughts and feelings this hat would be pretty smug with itself!
My hat also made for a little shelter when the weather was toying with the idea of raining, but luckily hanging out with Kristabel, Kim & Hayley didn’t mean we were walking for too long (you can’t stand between a girl and a cupcake!). Walking around Borough Market for the first time was a real treat (mainly for my nose) with all the tasty food stalls, but the four of us ended up munching on sweet treats before calling it a day on our mini hangout. Perfect afternoon! x

That dress looks so pretty on you! I’m really tempted to get one of these smock dresses from Vintage Style Me myself (I really like the rabbit one they did that’s now sold out!)

Oh thank you Sam! I’m sure they will re-stock things in the next few weeks, I have a feeling their smocks are going to be a lot of people’s favourites!

Oh wow, that dress is gorgeous on you! You pull off the smock dress fabulously (I can’t, I don’t think, so I’ll have to live vicariously through you), and I love the print.

I bet you could! There’s not much to pull off (I think!), because they’re so lazy and comfy to wear!
That dress is lovely, I love the big print 😀 I’m gonna have to go smock dress shopping now!
