So Mushroom in this dream dress. A review

It’s been a long long time since I’ve raved about a dress, so if there has ever been a time to listen to what I say…. This is it!! 

If I was asked to think up my dream dress I would ask for a midi length to hit just below my knees, I would want sleeves, either shirt sleeves or ¾ length. I would want a material on the heavier side so it’s not blowing all over the place and so that I wouldn’t have to wear a jacket. I would ask for fun prints because obviously!
I would want a skater shape because that’s what I like the most on my body and I like the casual look. I would want pockets, again because OBVS. I would want it to be affordable because I would want at least a few and most importantly I would want it to come in a large range of sizes because there is nothing worse than finding a dress you absolutely love and then learning they don’t make it in your size. 

I have found that dream dress!!!!

I’ve got the Summer Blues

Feeling Blue?… me too 🙂
Since Scarlett & Jo have been being stocked at Evans I find myself going in there much more, I went into store last week and picked up two dresses, This is the second and my favourite of the two.
The Evans Blue Lace Skater Dress
My 18yo sister was with me and she actually picked out this dress and told me to try it on, I’m not really big on lace as it seems really dressy and I didn’t think it was very me. I had to admit when I tried it on in the dressing room I thought it was quite cute.
The peter pan collar adds to the cute and girly feel of the dress, I really love the colour of the dress, I don’t often wear bright colours so this is a nice summery dress in a nice safe colour and I nice colour to transition into the next season.
I kept my makeup really simple on this day, as the dress is kinda cute I didn’t want to go heavy on the makeup, I have on a Mac tinted moisturiser, eyeliner and mascara and I have used the Mac lustre drops as a cheekbone highlight. (I have filled in my brows with the mac eyebrow pencil in stud as always)
Because of the ‘somewhat statement’ collar I kept my accessories really simple with a pair of studs and small silver chain.
  Here I have the dress on with a pair of beige pointy flats from Matalan and a beige/grey tassel bag from eBay
Bailey my dog squinting in the sun
Although it was really sunny on this day it wasn’t really warm at all So I wasn’t going to wear the dress like this by itself. I really like the dress like this but for me its just too short to wear without leggings.
Below is how I wore the dress for that day. Good old leggings and converse. I’m gonna have to do a post on dressing up this dress as I think it would be lovely with a thick belt and heels and some chunky jewellery.
 
I have no idea why I look so miserable lol… maybe cos the sun went in?
Any other ideas how I could style this dress? I really wanna play around with this one.

Squiggles n Boots

Baby Shower Oufit Of The Day

This dress is an ex ASOS item, This year I have been obsessed with the skater dress shape. ASOS has a huge range of skater dresses in their Curve department and I will forever be grateful for this 🙂

I believe this one was called the squiggle print, I may be wrong, Its white with black, blue and purple patterns, Its in jersey fabric and is so comfortable and roomy.

 



One this particular day I wore it with New Look leggings and my new New Look Camden Boots

I absolutely love these boots, they have a few variations of these but I personally preferred the black on black. They are called Camden boots and I would simply describe them as heeled workman boots.

I had very simply makeup as I was attending a daytime event and I wore a chunky silver chain from Primark.

 

 
I wore my New Look Biker Jacket and my Washed Leather Handbag from TopShop.
 
I really liked this whole outfit, It was super comfy and casual but I still felt like I had made an effort.
