"Hicks wear gingham"

(Dress: The White Pepper, Coat: Zara, booties: Topshop, gold ankle cuffs: eBay) #teenvogue

You know it is not easy getting onto a hay bale. Especially in heels. I really should have tried harder at trampolining classes.

I feel I have to actually talk about the dress now. I originally bought the ASOS version of it, which on paper was cuter, it had little buttons down the back which as it is a smock I wouldn't have needed to unbutton every time I wanted out of it. This challenge is always a concern for me when buying clothes, I hate getting stuck in them, really freaks me out, especially when I get it so far off and  somehow my arms get drunk and confused and I get stuck, always in an uncompromising position/ stance replicating a 90's dance move. Anyway, I actually hated the shape of the ASOS one. I get that it is a smock and it is meant to look like a maternity dress but this one took it to far so I traded up to the White Pepper one which is perfect. I mean that. 

Which outfit was your favourite? Let me know in the comments.

Fully went for the farmer look with this one. It was too easy to do though. This denim jacket is the only type I really like. Denim jackets to me encourage suits of denim, which no matter how many times Gok Wan endorses, I still don't think I will be okay with. The fake fur kinda breaks it up, so if I did get a personality transplant and actually wore jeans then it might not look THAT bad. Who am I kidding? If you can't convince yourself it's time to go home. Great boots too, really sturdy, like a lobster- Lilo and Stitch 2002.

Come visit me again on Friday (for the last attempt making each outfit look different). Happy Halloween in the meantime!

Right, presenting 3 ways to wear the blogger-famous White Pepper smock dress. This outfit is the most common montage of how I have seen others wear it. i.e. bloggers: just wear a wide brimmed hat. Sorted. Hate the game guys. Love this blouse too, it's great having a short sleeved blouse in your wardrobe, they are the most functional shirt, this mock shirt that I DIY'd stops that lumpy appearance you often get when layering a shirt, and it isn't too warm like long sleeved shirts: double win.

Come back on Wednesday for outfit two.
