Outfit Post - Cardiff Castle

If you read yesterdays post, you will know I was gifted an item by Very.com from the new Fearne Cotton Collection. And some of you tried to guess which item it was that I chose, well... here you go.

First we went to Cardiff Castle to take some pretty pictures in my new dress which was...
The Seagull Print Vintage Dress!!
Isn't it pretty!

Dress: c/o Very.com
Tights: Random
Cardi: Hand me down from my mum
Pumps: Peacocks:
Necklace: Gift from Parents
Lace Bangle and Black Bow ring: Internationale
Silver Bangle: Lost and found in pub
It's such a bold print I didn't think it needed a lot else with it so kept it minimal with black tights, simple black pumps, my fur trimmed cardi(it's still cold here in the wind!) and a gold necklace.
It has these cute gold buttons on the front and back and arms, which give it a slight military feel.


And it's longer at the back than at the front, which I was a little sceptical of at first but I actually love how it flows.
I did have to safety pin it at the bust as the cross over was too low with my small chest, but it still looks great I think.

How would you style this?
I am thinking of my frill front sleeveless blouse, waistcoat and brogues next? Any opinions?
