Prints And The Revolution

Dress: Housing Works Thrift. Lookalike from Asos. Creepers: Underground Originals. Bag: Chanel. Shades: Flea market. Try Wonderland. Socks: Topshop (love!) anyone caved in their sale?

I couldn’t help it. I nicked the above title from Housing Works who re-grammed this outfit yesterday. You can see the surplus photo on Instagram.

This dress is like a giant bunch of flowers but the black anchors it. I contrasted it with the winkle pickers which have appeared on here too many times to count! Who remembers this black and white outfit? The other versions of them are here with a see through skirt. I reckon they will forever be a ‘Karen’s shoe.’

ps. Anyone cave on the sales posted below?

pps. The above street style section has been updated!

Question about your Chanel bag on sale on your tictail! Do you know the exact name or link to the same bag at retail price? Debating getting my first Chanel but the options are crazy and I was just wondering how much it currently retails in other stores. Thank you!

  Hi! It retails 1900 plus tax but this particular one: black lamb with gold hardware is harder to find apparently. Call around Chanels if you don’t believe me : ) The wallet on chain is a good introduction to Chanel being that it’s the least expensive bag that Chanel makes and is a good way to confirm if you really want to eventually upgrade if funds allow. The chain is long and can be worn cross body or on the shoulder as is or some loop the chain under the flap to make it shorter. It’s a good little work horse.
