Mums Birthday

It was my Mums birthday recently so me and the hubby went over for a visit and to take her her presents. For her birthday i decided to do something a little different and make her up a gift hamper, i added some home made cookies and all the sweets and treats we used to enjoy together when i was younger.We had a lovely day and finished it off with a yummy chinese :)
Here's what i wore on the day


This dress is one that i picked up from the fat swap from the lovely Becky, i really love it. I believe it was original from asda and is a size 22, the fit for me is perfect! 
The dress has a thick elasticated waist and is made from a lovely thin cotton, its sleeveless so perfect for the summer time.

I love the print on this dress, i really like floral print and think the black background makes this print stand out really nicely.
I wore this with Primark tights and my Tesco cardigan, i added a handmade brooch and my new headband which was a gift from the lovely Lisa.

I thought i would share what my lovely hubby wore on the day, as the lady in paperchase commented, you can't go wrong with Micky.

Have you celebrated anything recently?
XOXO
