here

mil wants to buy dd this dress in cream for xmas

very sweet of mil, as she saw dd eyeing it up in mils catalogue
dd was saying i like this, i like this
i think she likes the diamond things on the neckline.

my only concern is will it be warm enough and if its not what should we put with it?

I think it looks pretty styled the way Boden does it, like this.

thanks for the reply bonsoir

oh i like that, althugh noy sure we are funky enough to carry that off.
iyswim!

the mix together.

however thta zebra cardi wouldn't go a miss to go with other things.

hmm what else could i go for if i wanted a safer option?

would something like this go?

Eek to the maribou! I think the dress has enough detail on it's own, you just need something plain with it. I too love it with the zebra, but if you're not sure, then a plain cardi, perhaps in a jewel shade of green or purple. The Boden one comes in a lovely purple, or something like :

this, perhaps

My DD has that Monsoon maribou capelet in cream, for dressing up. It is very popular with all her friends when they come to play .

hmm must admit i would feel safer going for the jewel colour plain option.
although maybe thats not such a good thing!

i thought id get her a little monsoon tiara too
what do you think!

was going to put the dress with her silver ballet pumps {bonsoirs tip from years ago}

i love the zebra stripe. I would most likely go for that type of styling myself. Or a cream cardi to match the dress, maybe with sparkle thread through it to give it a bit of celebration, but, on reflection, no, i prefer the zebra stripe!

Silver ballet flats would be lovely, as would pewter.

Tiara absolutely indispensable .

oh i might get dd a tiara tomorrow then

good to have one for the dressing up box i guess.

i'll try and get one of those capes too, although i'll try and get one from ebay.
then if it looks too ott, she can have it for dressing up.

My DD has a peacock feather hairband for going out - feathers are very fashionable for hair ornaments this year! And it looks fab!

oh where did you get that?

Not online, I'm afraid - in a shop in Paris. I have a lovely peacock feather necklace!

But I'm sure that you'll find feather hairbands somewhere if you hunt around - they are very fashionable!

Look. Not as nice as DD's, but not bad either.

Is my screen the only one in which the first link suggests 'completing the look' with camouflage combat trousers ?

damn i hoped you wasn't going to say in paris!

yes i like the monsoon one,was in there this am but didn't see that

i'll look about

lottie bodens suggestions are sometimes are crazy

Has your DD got a nice evening bag? My DD loves the pink sequinned one her brothers gave her for her fourth birthday (still going strong!).

More feathers

oh looks like dd will be in for a few treats

she has a little handbag, but a small brown croc skin leathery one[one one of mine i didn't want]
but i think she would love something more girly.

bonsoir herewhat do you think?

also i want to ask your advice about something else if your about...

Oh I'm sure your DD would love that feather/diamanté headdress!!!

Is it very wrong that I want the zebra cardigan and a feather headband for me

No tracey, I quite understand the feeling .

I have a fabulous feather necklace from Bimbo & Lola that is very grown-up but meets all sorts of girly fantasies nonetheless!
