21 till 30 Flutterby Dress

Hey lovelies,
How are we?
Can you believe by tomorrow I will be 20 days away from being 30!!! Exciting times :)

Anyway I wanted to do a post about this amazing butterfly or as I liked to call them Flutterbies when I was about 2 years old  .... ok ok I admit it I still say it now.

This dress was given to my by Matalan, it's actually a funny story really myself and Laura of A daisy chain dream had both seen new dresses in the Matalan catalog and Laura tweeted about it, we were both saying we couldn't wait for pay day to go out an buy it. Then we both were contacted by the lovely Charlotte at Matalan to offer us th dresses. How cool was that! Big hugs & kisses for Charlotte YAY!!!

It is a lovely dress for spring but as I couldn't wait till then I teamed it with a petticoat; which you can see poking out at the bottom, my mulberry cardigan of the moment, a pair of snugly boots and my mustard tights.


I don't about you but I am not a really a trousers girl so in the winter I tend to wear thicker tights and petticoats, they do say layers are better. I must say if my feet are warm and I am wearing a hat I don't find it so bad. :)

To make it even warmer for being outside I added my snood and my "tea cozy" hat, I call it my tea cozy hat because well that is what all my family including Mr Rob call it. I don't care because it is my favorite.

I even thought I lost it last year and I was really devastated till my sister found it in her room when she was moving out. :)
Only things about hats is they push you hair into your eye's.......oh well at least my eyebrowa are warm hey!!!


Well that's enough of my chitter chatter, have a great weekend.

Ciao for now
Love Katrina x

  4. It's funny how every child I heard of (including me) had a problem with saying the word "butterfly". Even in my native language (german) it was pretty difficult for me, so I said "Metterlingling" instead of "Schmetterling" |D

    And that dress is gorgeous!
    One day I'm going to steal your clothes from you!
    Although they look probably better on you, as you are really pretty ;//u//; I'm jealous of your amazing hair!

    I also don't wear trousers in winter...My friends tend to applaud me ironically, when they see one on me.

    Okay, enough meaningless commenting!
    Have a great day!

  9. I love how you've layered the dress, you've really made it your own by adding the petticoat and swapping the belt for a tan one. Great colours too! :)
