Green with Envy

Feeling green for a variety of reasons today, I lost out on a few ebay items at the weekend, due to my own cheapness & dodgy wifi reception in the flat. I'm especially jealous of whoever won the abstract floral burnout shirt beauty that had my name all over it : ( I've also been scouting round for a green dress since summer, but to no avail. Ever since seeing Keira's stunning number in Atonement I've been more into my greens. That was breathtakingly beautiful wasn't it?

I was hoping to find something in an apple or emerald hue, I have so many red, yellow, blue & purple dresses it seems only fair to give green some love! The Asos Elephant jacquard smock is fun, as is their lovely lace midi, both for a bargainous £26!! On the other end of the spectrum, this Martin Margiela wrap dress is just dreamy. Makes me sad this will probably never make it to my wardrobe-it belongs in there!

There is however, a clear winner & it's from Toppers. You can always count on Topshop to come up with the goods can't you! I must admit I love the silk-slip-teamed-with-oversized-knit-look that's absolutely everywhere at the minute. We all know the 90's is back in a BIG way, I particularly like how this trend can almost be traced back to one definitive fashion article circa 1992- Vogue's Grunge & Glory editorial.

I'm going to pop down to Oxford Circus after work methinks, praying they have this dress in the tall section, it's calling out to me, & for £38 I just have to answer!

ps I've stupidly only just remembered my nails are green too!
