A Dachshund a Day Keeps the Blues Away

Is there anything better than clothing with a novelty animal print? I don't think there is.

The relentless grey sky and fact I'm wearing 50 denier tights in July is getting me down, to be honest. But rather than wallow in stylish self pity and take to wearing a onesie in public, I decided to cheer myself up with a new dress. A dress that cost £10, and has dogs on it. Dogs on a dress. The key to sartorial happiness.

I should point out that these dogs may not be Dachshunds. They may, in fact, be Beagles. But I'm a sucker for alliteration, so let's pretend the title works.

Are you suffering through the British Summertime? What are you wearing to lift your spirits?

  4. Lovely dress! I really like the pop of yellow you've added to the outfit too :) I'm confused by the weather where I am, it seems to be sunny one moment and pouring the next, it makes dressing a pain! x

  17. I'm wearing my bright colour, summer wardrobe despite the weather. I've had comments from people from work about how bright and cheerful I look like it's a bad thing; we have to make our own sunshine.

  18. I am positively surgically attached to my denim jacket and Docs - the jacket because I'm rocking B*witched style and the Docs because they're waterproof AND stompy for scaring away the inevitable summer pervs (they're like maggots who hatch in the humid weather, eww)

  19. So cute! Aah I just went and bought 60 den tights today, so depressing. (Though part of the reason is that I thought they might last slightly longer without laddering than 40 den...but still!)

  21. On the eve of Saturday's vote, gunmen shot down a manolo blahnik helicopter carrying manolo blahnik outlet polling materials near the eastern city of Benghazi, the birthplace of the revolution, killing one election worker, said Saleh Darhoub, a manolo blahnik bridal spokesman for the ruling National Transitional Council. The crew survived after a crash landing. Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib vowed the government would ensure a safe vote. It is threatening to the future of the revolution and its accomplishments... Manolo Blahnik Flats and an attempt to stop democracy for Manolo Blahnik Flats which Libyans sacrificed their souls. "
