essence of paisley

I know, I know, it's not quite paisley but it's close enough - and I just love the colours of this vest. Someone today told me that I "have the most interesting style of all the people she has ever met" and when I asked her to clarify 'interesting' she said "in a good way." How exciting is that? People have said that I have an interesting style but not most interesting.
The dress is from a retro store but it isn't retro - just made out of retro material. And the belt I got from a fete. Thank goodness for fetes! And yes, I am wearing shorts underneath because it is terribly short.

Also, I apologise for wearing my shoes three days now, and I promise I'll wear different shoes tomorrow. And the next day. Confession: I don't have many shoes. I'd rather buy a dress than shoes. Although my wishlist shoe-wise is:
- another pair of flats in a pale colour
- sandals of some sort
- boots that aren't broken
- some white sneaker-y shoes with red stitching

The shoes I'm wearing have been complemented 8 times,
