skirt by Chopper178 on Etsy, Dorothy Perkins top, Asos cardigan, belt came with another skirt I think, Dior shoes.
When I was a teenager, around 14 or 15 years old, I was obsessed with Dior. Whenever we'd travel to a bigger city, I'd look up the location of their stores and make a visit. Of course I wasn't in the position to walk into a store and pick out anything I liked on a regular basis, but at times I did indulge myself in a little something.
The sales people there were always so sweet, they told me I had made a great choice and packed everything so neatly with their boxes and ribbons. I'm sure they knew I was just some random girl who had to save money to be able to buy from them maybe twice a year, but they still treated me like every other customer. When they handed me those little white bags, I always felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I still have a soft spot for Dior in my heart after all these years.

Last week I set out to buy a pair of comfortable flats for the summer and bought these Dior sandals with rope details instead - they were on sale and I don't have too many wedges, and well, maybe I was feeling a little nostalgic for my teenage years. In a good way though.
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
Beautiful outfit! I'm sure I used to have that top in a different colour at some point!! I'm in love with your skirt... so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think shop staff should treat all customers the same, whether they're making one small purchase or indulging in half the stock. At the end of the day, everyone helps pay their wages, and everybody should be allowed a nice shopping experience for their hard earned cash!
Merci cherie!
ReplyDeleteI agree, staff should always be nice, it's their job after all, but unfortunately it's not always the case^-^
I'm in love with the skirt, too, but it looks like that etsy shop is closed now :( gotta be extra careful with it from now on!
What a cute outfit! Love the off-white and pale blue! The shoes are really interesting - I admit I don't really love the rope straps with the rest of the clothes, but color-wise, they match. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember lurking around a Prada shop in Milan several years ago, but I didn't even have the guts to go inside, since I knew I absolutely wouldn't buy a pair of shoes for over 500 E...
Thank you Vita! :)
ReplyDeleteI was really hesitant to go into such a shop at first, too, but in most places, the staff is really nice even if you tell them you're just looking. And I usually don't spend 500E either, I wait for a sale or look for outlets most of the time! ^-^
You wore Dior at 14! Go girl!lol
ReplyDeleteI'm never afraid of going into those stores either. Sure, sometimes I have a "Pretty Woman" flashback, but people are usually nice. If we think about it, they can't afford those things either.
Really cute look!So romantic.;)
Love,

Thank you Diana! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I didn't really *wear* Dior at 14, it was mostly just jewelery and accessories. I wish though! ^-^
Lovely outfit. It's very pretty, I would totally want that outfit for myself too. When I was fourteen I never wore designer brands, didn't even think of them. Instead, I wasted my money on beauty creams.
ReplyDeleteYou look perfect, I love the combination and those sandals are really chic.
ReplyDeleteI really like your dress and shoes! Kisses
ReplyDeleteOhhh, thats so wonderful, That story made me happy. When I first started reading I was thinking DIOR AT 14?!? then i read on about how you saved all year, thats so touching. when I was younger I used to save so long for games I wanted (i didn't care much for clothes/makeup at the age hah) and all my friends had them on release but I had to save and save but when I got them I just played forever and was so happy!
ReplyDeleteYou look really lovely! <3 those shoes are gorgeous!
