I bought this one a few weeks ago, mainly because it was on sale (only £10, bargain) and I loved the colour. Didn't quite think through what I was going to wear it with, or whether it suited it me. Out came the debit card and home with me it came. I decided it was time to give it an airing today. Working with the limitations of my wardrobe, the outfit looks like so:
Dress - Dorothy Perkins
Black long line long sleeved tshirt - Dorothy Perkins
Leggings - M&S
Boots - Evans
What do you think? I'm not convinced that the boots entirely go with it but I needed a bit of height today and none of my heels were quite right.
Jewellery is from my inheritance - Grandma's jewellery box. None of it is worth anything but that's not the point, the memories are lovely and she had some fab quirky costume stuff. I love this ring, so sparkly and pretty.
Oh and I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who comments on here - it means a lot to me :)
I've been looking for this EXACT dress for months! I love the laddered look and think that soft stone colour really suits you. Shall definitely be visiting DP when I'm allowed to shop again! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice dress Alex. I love the leggings in boots look, but I don't have the body confidence to carry that off. You do it just great. x

ReplyDeleteThe leggings and dress look fab on you and the boots are a really cool and quirky touch. Hasn't DP come on a lot in the last year or so? There's some great pieces in there.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely inherited jewellery, bet you think of your Grandma each time you wear them.

Hey Alex, I have to completely agree with you there, movies are one of the main ways I've built up a pretty eclectic mix on my phone, and 10 Things I Hat About You is a very good example. Don't worry about the classical music again I've found it mainly through googling and what I've had reccomended to me. Youtube can be a good place to start, or look for some CDs on Amazon. xxx
