A Very Pretty New Frock

Friday 22 March 2013


Well hello there new frock!

When I was in Leeds for my recent theatre trip I popped into Primark in search of that gorgeous blue and white dress that everyone has been raving about since the spring/summer lookbook got released. I didn't find it, but I was just as pleased with this beauty.  My eye initially fell on the shirt made from the same fabric but it was covered in hideous tacky studs (why must shops do this? Whyyyyyyy???????) so I bit the bullet and got the dress version instead. 


It might not sound like a huge leap of faith.  You're probably sitting there thinking "Why is she afraid of pale frocks?" Well, I am a notorious spiller and also quite good at sitting in chocolate and other messy things.  White frocks are therefor not high on my list of sensible clothing to wear but with a pattern this pretty, an exception had to be made.


It looks like Delft tiles! I adore it.

Dress & belt - Primark (although not bought at the same time. It came with a nasty tan belt originally)
Cardi - H&M

T'was the perfect outfit to wear whilst having a frolic around the gardens when on holiday last weekend.

FROLIC!

I kept getting Bodhi-bombed mid-frolic though. He was adorably excited to have that many people playing with him in the garden! Such a cutie.


Thank you Alice for being my photographer!

  8. Very pretty. Pale dresses are a no-no for me as I'm so pale I almost disappear! Much prefer the blue belt and those shoes are just perfect with it.

  10. I absolutely love this dress Alex, the whole outfit is just lovely. I'd spotted you wearing this in some of the other bloggers' photos from your weekend away and was wondering where it was from so I'm glad you've blogged it, I'll have to keep a keen eye out in Primark next time I'm there!
