Windy Days & Wedding Bags

Being blown away at the front door today in my new Dorothy Perkins number! I actually bought this for next winter - thinking it would look good with black opaques and a long cardigan but when it arrived yesterday, it was much floatier than I thought and quite nice for this in-between weather.
I'm wearing it today with my black H&M cropped cardigan (similar), a black skinny belt (similar), French Connection skinny jeans (similar) and Clarks ballet pumps (kind of similar). I've talked about the pumps before. This colour is so versatile - I wear them more than my black ones! 
Also today, I took a walk down the Lisburn Road as my sister in law is looking for a handbag to match a pink floral dress for a wedding. She's wearing nude patent heels so ideally wanted a coloured bag. I called into Moda Shoes and found this beauty - modelled by mini-me. 
I love the Chanel vibe going on here and this size is better than a clutch for a wedding as you can fit more into it...yet it's dainty enough not to take-over the outfit.  Texted the picture to SIL and she immediately headed to Moda to buy........a totally different bag! But an equally lovely one. The pink in this one wasn't quite the same as her dress unfortunately. Have a great Wednesday!
