Embroidered Floral Dress and Bow Detail Heels

If you read my previous post, (A review of Beck Hall Hotel and Bistro in Malham, North Yorkshire), you might have noticed that this is the dress I was wearing for dinner. I posted a picture on Instagram and it received a lot of lovely compliments so I thought I’d share some full-length and detailed shots of it. I wore it in December, styled for a winter night out with opaque tights and high-heeled black suede ankle boots. but in actual fact, I have worn it on several other occasions too. Embroidery is huge this season, with embroidered detail featuring on both clothing and on accessories and footwear, but regardless of that, I love it and would wear it whether or not it is “on-trend”; this dress is so pretty, I wear it as often as I can.

My shoes are also oft-worn and although I shared this photograph in my previous post and on Instagram too, I can’t help but think this beautiful tiled bathroom wall at Beck Hall is the perfect foil for them and I can’t resist sharing it again.

At the time of writing the dress is available in the clearance section on the Next website. It was originally £95 and is now £45 (and just £40 in the “tall” version). I’m just under 5’9″ and I’m wearing a UK size 12 tall. Huge thanks to @sleepdeprivedstyle who saw my Instagram picture and let me know the dress was still available.

Love Lizzy x

    Beautiful dress, I love the stamping, and the wonderful design of the sleeves and the neckline. The shoes are lovely and the outfit with the bag is wonderful.

    Such a gorgeous dress, Lizzy! I love the lace overlay with the embroidery on it. It could also be styled a bit gothic too – one of my favourite looks lol!

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

Ian and I went into Leeds for dinner last night to a fab restaurant (I’ll share photos later because the food was excellent). It’s our wedding anniversary on Monday so this was our celebration. I only got the jacket a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I’m going to wear it again later for a lunch date with Poppy. I’ll put all outfit details on my blog later on if I get the chance 🩷.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.

~Wedding dress-up~
I loved playing wedding dress-up for @stepper.eyewear. Not every bride wants to wear contact lenses so we chose some beautiful styles that would make the perfect wedding eyewear. Remember that there is a choice of European, Asian and African fits too to suit different facial characteristics for #theperfectfit. All details on the STEPPER Eyewear website and on my blog. Links to both are 👆🏻.
This is model SI-30192👰🏼
