Is it a tunic, is it a dress?

Sasha has done me proud with this Mother's Day gift. I wasn't sure if it was a tunic or a dress until she told me she thought it would look great with tights and brogues. And how right she was. Yes, I know it's a tad on the short side, but I did wear a long cardigan over it at work today to preserve my modesty. It was only when I looked through all of my photos that I decided it really shone without the cardi. Thanks Sash!

I love this print, it's rich and opulent, and the perfect colourway for me too.

These brogues don't come out often so it's great to have a new outfit that needs them.

This was the more demure version for work.

I've got a bit of exciting news regarding my forthcoming post on Sunday. A little seedling of an idea I had a few months ago will (hopefully) come to fruition with the help of two of my blogging friends. I don't really want to say too much a) in case the whole thing bombs and I have egg on my face and b) it's a bit of a novel idea and would like it to be a lovely surprise for you on the day. One of the bloggers is on the other side of the world and we're currently trying to synchronise our watches in a very James Bond kind of way so that our posts all go live at the same time. Please bear with me on the day if you don't see the post until later than usual. It may be the evening until we can all link up, so please do come back to check from time to time. If it works I think it'll be a neat little post. Watch this space.
