I've been having a bit of a work-wear-buying-bonanza recently, trying to find things that are smart but not totally boring! My placement in Paris is looming and I don't fancy being sneered at by those oh-so-chic Parisians as I bumble around looking utterly lost sporting un-ironed dresses and cardigans with missing buttons! Obviously I've been busy sewing up all the holes and replacing buttons on my current clothes, but my dress selection was looking alltogether rather uninspiring or completely unsuitable for a 'sophisticated' intern. Hence the new dresses from my #1 Fave: People Tree.
I'm totally enamoured with People Tree at the moment. It is without doubt my favourite ethical company, and seems to be slightly more fashion-led than some of the others. I've been astounded by the quality of every item I've ordered so far. You know when you feel a fabric and it just feels, well, luxurious? That's what you get - none of this flimsy throwaway Primark nonsense.
This little number is still available on the website, in the Outlet section, an absolute total bargain at £18.75 (reduced from £75!). That is the same price as your average Primark dress, so there are no excuses not to buy ethically!
Cheesey lovey-dovey alert: forget-me-nots handed to my boyfriend/patient photographer - he had better not forget me whilst I'm away! haha.
I was informed the other day that people in France tend not to wear too much colour so perhaps I'll tone down the tights when I first arrive...

I love the dress, and thanks for the link to the People Tree site. I'm trying to look into ethical companies at the moment (currently am charity/ vintage only) - there are lots of tempting dresses on there!

"£18.75 (reduced from £75!)"
Wow, a bargain-tastic, let me see....*furrows brows*....£56.25 knocked off! Such a scoop deserves a cash register sound... *ker-CHINGGG!*
The tights look superb to me; can't imagine anyone of a reasonable disposition having some silly issue with them - I'd say, "rock the red with confidence"!
If for some reason you don't feel quite Parisian enough [though of course just being you is what really matters], you could comfortably pull this look off :)
PS If I were a lady, I'd be very impressed by my bloke by 1) handing me a forget-me-not' at such a parting of ways, and 2) being able to identify it in the 1st place!! He's probably just as anxious you don't forget *him*!
I lurrrrve People Tree! This dress is amazing too - I may have to invest :)
So glad I've found your blog! It's fab <3

Psst, if you're looking for any text books, I know a place where you just might be able to get them for 99p! As long as you don't strictly demand the latest spanking new addition, that is :)

Don't be put off by the bolshy/chavvy sounding name - the service is top drawer, and max postage is 10 quid, no matter how many books are bought, or how big/heavy they are! I ended up with enough books to fill two boxes big enough to cause a little huffin' and puffin'...
Hello!! Long time.. your blog is as lovely as ever, wish I could keep up!! x
pretty pictures here!
pretty dress and i love your glasses!!
