Denim Ruffle Loveliness

Quite frankly I was getting cheesed off of not being able to post my outfits because the boyfriend is away and I have no-one to photograph me. So I've resorted to self-mirror pics in my bedroom! I hope you still get to see the outfit in a decent way, as I had trouble getting good shots (the main reason being because our wardrobe is an antique Italian wardrobe and the mirror in it is very old and not too clear). Other problems I had were that the bed ends just before the mirror, so I had to squeeze in front to take a reasonable shot, AND to top it off, it was a grey, dull day so the lighting was pants

Anyway - about the outfit! I bought this denim dress in the summer as I thought it was really cute! When I went back to Wales where it was mid-winter, I paired it with tights, boots and a cardigan for extra warmth (and also wore it with a short fur jacket, but it hasn't reached that coldness here yet). So this is how I wore it again this week.

    




Dress, Tempt; Shrug, Belt and Tights, Primark; Boots, Matalan.

Just to give you an idea of the area I was working with!!
So after five days of the boyfriend being away, I've still got five to go. I'm enjoying catching up with friends, shopping, eating out and watching plenty of Desperate Housewives (LOVE IT!), but I'm missing having someone to come home and actually TALK TO! It's weird!!! But only 5 days left....
