OOTD: Va Va Voom

♥ Dress/belt: River Island *** Bag: Primark *** Accessories: Primark ♥

I bought this dress a couple of months ago and didn't wear it as I was unsure if I would keep it or not. Glad I did now because I absolutely love it. The material is thick enough to keep you warm but doesn't look too "wintery". The perfect spring dress, for spring in western Europe anyways! The belt is a teeny bit too small for me which you can probably tell, but I expected that because I can never fit into belts in River Island! I will have to keep a look out for a new one to replace it.
The handbag is a very old purchase, at least four years old. It was one of the first bags I bought from Primark when my handbag obsession began. Its both wonderful and horrible, wonderful because its so big and roomy and horrible for the very same reasons! I tend to fill my handbags with junk when they are this big. Not purposely, but its easier to throw a leaflet or ten in there and tell yourself "i'll take that out later", and then you never actually do!

For the past week or so my throat has been really sore. After trying to avoid it for as long as possible, I went to see a doctor on Thursday evening. She didn't really know what was wrong, unfortunately. Apparently it looked "just a little bit red, nothing major" and it "might be strep, but it mightn't be"...so i'm still not sure what it is. Aside from the sore throat, I could barely open my mouth, my ears hurt when I swallow and the light hurts my eyes...not a great combination! It meant the best place for me was my bed. The antibiotics are beginning to work thankfully. I get sick far too often!

Did all of you ladies have a good Easter? I hope so! Judging by my FB newsfeed, i'm the only girl under 25 who didn't go out drinking/clubbing this weekend. I am beginning to feel like an 80 year old...I much prefer quiet nights in these days. Netflix has taken over my life since it launched here!
