one more fcuk

Dress: FCUK, Boots: LF. Fedora: Street vendor. Bag: East village shop. Jewellery: street vendors & LF

 

Where did I get this dress? I know it’s FCUK, but I have to actually THINK where did I get it from? it’s been about 4 years. I think I got it during one of their sales. My fave type of dress is short with long sleeves. Not an easy combination to find but FCUK seems to do a few. I wear cycling shorts under it since it is a mini.
I LOVE this crochet vest!!! I only got it last week at a second hand shop. Followers will know I twittered about it while still standing in the shop wearing it. I loved it that much. (when I see stuff I like or buy, I’ve started posting tweets at the time and/or include a cell pic). I can’t wait to wear over all sorts, including in the Autumn.
You guys know these LF boots by Jeffrey Campbell already ; – )

    Short length and long sleeves are the best combination! Open back is always an added bonus too. You look great, very bohemian.

    Perfect perfect dress!! I love it! And the best thing that this kind of fabric was a big thing in my country 20 yr ago, so we have tons of vintage dresses similar to this one! 🙂

    Karen,
    I enjoy your blog. Very strong photos, but I think they would gain a new edge if you take some interacting with other people or with more people in the background.

  20. Grace says:

    Makes me a little sad, because I used to have a vest like that… no more. But you look great! That dress is perfect.

    Love Grace.

  22. caylee says:

    my favorite types of dresses are long sleeved and super-short too. it’s such a flattering, silhouette, and looks so good.
    and i LOVE the vest! and the fact that you will tweet whenever you find something amazing =)

  23. Karen says:

    Caylee – yeah I’ve harnessed the powers of the internet to bring you as it happens shopping updates LOL!!!

    Seriously though, I used to send cell pics to my gf anyway so now I’m sharing it a bit more on twitter ; ))

    And I agree on the dress type thing 100%

    LOVE your blog. Your outfits are interesting and vary every post. I don’t understand why fashiontoast is so popular. Everyone should come read wheredyourgetthat instead.

  25. melissa says:

    Can you tell us more about these Jeffrey Campbell Chloe shoes? The kitten like heel has me a bit skeptical, but I reallyyy realllyy want them :/

    Halp me Karen!

  26. sexyinthecity says:

    You looks amazing, great style!
    and your boots are so similar to the Chloé ones, fab!!!

    xx

    Melissa – its like a cowboy heel that has an angle at the back. Know what I mean? Its very comfortable. I have long narrow feet and the shoe is narrow so if your the same, then they should be ok.

    get them!!!! I’m so bad…. lol…

    Sexyin thecity – I know!! That’s why I got them because they are such a good enough version with less $$$ – thank you : )

    Anon Coward – everyone has their favourites. Plus your naming a blogger who has been blogging for years! I just started this year so am the new kid on the block. Thank you though for the comment and support : ))
