Thrifted dress, mytights.com tights, Chockers boots, Zara cardigan, Primark belt, Primark ring
I’m hoping these Find it, work it posts can become a regular thing here at A Little Bird. Every so often, I go on the hunt for something specific – that perfect piece of style gold that slides effortlessly into my wardrobe and mixes with everything in there. For the first Find it, work it post, it’s this 100% silk floral dress.
My magpie eye spotted it amongst polyester smocks in a charity shop at the weekend, and of course it was love at first sight. The fluttering, flattering shape, oh-so-soft fabric and gloriously girly print had me grabbing like an eager child.
The best thing about this dress is how easy it was to style up. The colour palette coordinates perfectly with so many things I already own, so I knew I’d be able to work the look straight away. I added my much-loved Chockers boots, a simple Zara cardigan I’ve had for eons and these heavenly hyacinth tights from mytights.com. Done and dusted!
What have you found recently? And how did you work it? I’d love to know!
PS – Aren’t cherry blossoms just so beautiful? I adore them.

Lovely! I wish I found these sorts of nice clothes in charity shops… unfortunately I don’t live in a massively stylish city… most girls my age look the same!
Great boots as well, I love them!

That dress is great Jen! Who’s it by? It such a great shape!
And I’m still totally envious of those boots- I may have to purchase some soon 😀
Ooh this is possible one of my favourites of all the outfits of yours I’ve seen! Although, I think I probably say that every time.. I really do love this though 🙂
That dress was a great buy for you – beeeyoootiful!

this is so lovely!
I love thrift shopping I find some great jewellery pieces
What a gorgeous find – you really do have an eye for hunting them out. I must declare though that that tree [i’m thinking cherry but I may be totally wrong] behind you – is just lush, the colours of them pinks – ahhh i’m glad Spring is here, colours like that make my day!
Gorgeous outfit, how pretty is that dress! You manage to find lovely pieces. Loving the blue tights too, I have some but can never find the right outfit to make them work with.

Love the blue tights, and I really like your new layout 🙂

Amazing find as always.
Have got a charity shop trip planned for the weekend so hopefully I will find some gems!

That dress is so gorgeous 🙂 I wish I could pull off coloured tights like you do – I have a pair of purple but can never find anything I think they look nice with! xxx
The dress looks lovely belted. Think my mistake is always wearing things loose, when really they could benefit from being pulled in at the waist. Great charity shop find.
If I found a 2nd hand, silk one I’m sure I would wear floral dresses, too. I bet it feels wonderful and you’ve put it together lovely.
the dress is fantastic! i am in love with florals!
I’ve nominated you for the sunshine award please go check it out xox
really really cute dress
I love the tights! Wonderful colour!
I cant wait until pay-day, so I can hit some vintage shops in Glasgow 🙂 woo!
You look absolutely gorgeous! And I want your cardigan!! I have a grey cardi from Dotty P’s that I have literally worn to death and I need a replacement…Zara is now an option 🙂 Maria xxx
That dress is so pretty and I love the colours. I bought a huge Evans long cardi yeaterday for £3.99 in just those colours!x

Lovely dress, very flattering!
Lovely dress and I love the way you styled it with the blue tights. xoxo
Floral dresses are a personal favorite of mine, too! And I love those bright tights you paired with this one!
I love thrifting too. I found some amazing grey lace tights recently at a clearance sale and I paired them with my newest handmade dress. Check it out at my blog if you like 🙂

I love floral dresses but I don’t think I could pull them off at all. Your dress looks great!
The blossoms are SO pretty, as is your dress. I wish I could pull off colored tights. Yours look wonderful.
cherry blossoms are wonderful, until they drop everywhere. we have petals all through the house that have blown in!

i adore florals, i could never grow bored with them
