It has been a horrible grey day here today so I thought I would cheer myself up by wearing a bright and summery outfit.
The dress and cardigan are both from Dorothy Perkins. I absolutely love this dress, when I wear it I feel like I’m a housewife from the 1950s. I had a lazy Sunday today, I tidied up the flat and made a big pot of carrot and courgette soup – just like a real housewife!
The shoes are from Primark, and they are the exact same shape as the little high heels you used to get for Barbie dolls. Excellent!
There was a big rip in the skirt part of this dress from an adventure I had that included climbing over fences taller than I am, but I think I’ve managed to patch it up pretty well.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m going out tonight so will take some photos of my outfit (once I’ve decided what to wear!) and post them once the hangover wears off.
Also, thank you for all your lovely comments so far! Remember to follow my blog if you like my posts.

Gorgeous outfit! You're so right about those shoes… You've taken me back to my HUGE box of Barbie clothes! Must get mum to dig it out of the loft for a nostalgia session!

@ emma jade: yes, it's totally named after the beck song! i've done some googling and apparenly there is a song which is actually called 'elevator musik' by Curren$y but i've never heard of it until right now… personally I much prefer the beck version! x
