Rose gold from jewellery to shoes

I'm not usually one to wear minis, but I fell for this dress as it looked so cute on the hanger. The first time I wore it was with my pink brogues rather than these rose gold ones. However, when I look at the dress with the jacket over the top, and then belted up, well we get into an area of mini-ness I'm not so sure about. I'm not really a short skirt or cleavage kinda girl - it's all about your comfort zone isn't it?












Rose gold. These two words put together are music to my ears. I just can't get enough of this golden-pink hue and won't be getting over it any time soon. When I came across this rose gold dress recently I was over the moon. I love the simplicity of it, and even though it's made of a static-inducing synthetic material, I really fell for the cut and shape which was enough to override my reservations. However, once I got home at the end of the day and checked out how these photos looked, I decided it was just too short for me. I know I wore a short tunic recently as seen here, but my long cardigan acted as the ideal cover up. 

All is not lost however, as Polly was more than keen when I offered the dress to her. She is shorter than I am, and therefore the dress is knee length on her. Also, she added a long cardi as I really ought to have done! 





I think she looks so sweet in this pink and burgundy outfit. And I'll still get the pleasure of seeing the dress without that niggling doubt about the length of it, so it's a win-win for both of us.

  1. It looks gorgeous on both of you. Rose gold is a really delicate, pretty shade. I don't own anything of that colour sadly, so I'll live vicariously through you!!!x

    1. Thanks Kezzie. Maybe a little rose gold brooch would suffice?

    1. It's a great little dress - little being the operative word! You and I are similar in our thinking; if it's not making us happy, then pass it on. I won't be doing that with my beautiful brogues though!

  4. I am so in love with rose gold in general. My iPhone is rose gold. My wallet hardware is rose gold. My Mac is rose gold. I love rose gold :) and whilst I do agree that a mini isn't everyone's cup of tea (myself included), a nice opaque pair of pantyhose often does the trick in lessening my discomfort with the hemline length. And I do think you looked really lovely wearing that dress, Anna :)

    Do come and join my link-up? This dress is a true sight for sore eyes and it's far too precious to not share with the world, my friend xoxo

    1. It's so good to learn of someone else suffering from the same rose gold obsession! Thank you for your compliments re the dress, but I just wasn't comfortable. Polly wears it with great pride and I enjoy seeing her get so much pleasure out of it.

  6. I'm loving rose gold right now---I even just got some eyeshadow that color!!
    You really do have a brogue obsession, don't you?
    As for my "shorter" skirts---I've been experimenting with layering---I mean giving it away is all fine and good, but I'm a fix-it girl at heart! jodie

    1. Jodie I think I may have to look out for that eyeshadow too. You're much more inventive than me with the layering. I've never managed to look anything other than undone when I try layering.

    1. Thanks Patti. We can never have too many pairs of brogues, can we?

  8. You can both share it as I think it looks great on you both, Anna, especially in the colour palette you choose with the purple tights, those gorgeous rose gold brogues and the jacket. But we all have to feel comfortable and if it's gone to a good home then as you say, win win!

    1. I'd like to say I'm a real fashionista, but I bet they don't put comfort before style! My comfort zone was compromised here, so I really felt I had no choice than to get rid!
