I wasnt too excited about this Take Ten challenge at first..I was worried that the sandy coloured spots would wash me out and make me look ill..or worse dead..but when I received this dress in the post courtesy of Peacocks by Design and slipped it on and looked in the mirror I was deeeelighted! It fitted like a dream, the colour seems to work well with my skin tone mixed with ivory and the pleated chiffon skirt was bang on trend..
I kept the styling simple and girly..
over sized pearls..check
giant flower hair pin..check
open toe flats and ankle socks..check..
Dress: Peacocks By design, Pearls: Primark, Flower pin: H&M, Socks: Asos, Butterfly Flats: Random boutique
Taking these photos on a lovely hot sunday afternoon in this pretty location, in this pretty dress made everything feel so romantic..and I just wanna say thank you so much to my other half Dave for always supporting my blog and no matter what the weather taking my photos for me..without him Magpie Girl wouldn't be half of what it is today..xo
Here is how the other lovely Take Ten ladies styled their dresses: so many good ideas of toher ways to wear it! Be sure to check them out: Jen, Mj, Ellie, Sabine, Sarah, Sherin Paula, Harriet and a special thank you to Susie for stepping in for this challenge as sadly Adele has decided to leave.
So what do you guys think? Who styled it the best in your opinion?

ReplyDelete-vicki!
love the print on your dress
ReplyDeleteAdorable :) The dress looks great on you and I love how you styled it!
ReplyDeleteMust agree with all of the above, totally love the way you've styled this. If I'd seen it on a hanger, wouldn't have thought it could look this lovely! I think ankle socks make everything ok these days :) Just stumbled across your blog now, so lovely. Also, I adore your hair! I was deliberating going that colour for so long, but didn't want to interfere with my natural colour, which is a lighter red than that. So yes, wonderful blog.
