Pearls on the Streets

This dress once belonged to my sister. She has passed down many lovely items of clothing to me over the years, and this is one of my favourites. I always feel very ladylike when I wear it, hence the addition of pearls. Usually I would dress it up with a pair of patent leather kitten heels but unfortunately they are currently not in my possession, so instead I dressed it down with my slightly beaten up red ballet pumps which are much more suitable for walking around on cobbles all day anyway!
