Dress: Peacocks - Now £15 in the sale but £32 originally.
Black Cardigan: George at Asda - A super long time ago - £5.
Copper Heart Ring: Scape Jewellery - £12.99.
Uncut Ruby Ring: Studio59.
When I purchased it I had put on a little bit of weight & was verging more towards a size 14 than my usual 12 & I do quite like my summery dresses to be a little more flowy than usual but after losing a few pounds (still a little way to go until I reach my goal though!) this is a little bit too big for me. The tie at the waist keeps it looking pretty flattering though which I love & maybe I'll get the needle and thread out & nip it in a little at the bust.
Boyfriend Blazer: Primark 2009 - £15ish.
Make Up: MAC Face & Body foundation shade C1 £25.50, Benefit Boi-ing concealer £16.50, MAC Semi Precious Rose Quartz MSF £20.50 as a blush/highlight, Collection 2000 Big Fake mascara £4.99 & Carmex lipbalm £2.69.
If it's a little cooler outside or if I want to wear this beauty in the winter (which I absolutely will!) then I've been really liking mixing the more masculine look of the boyfriend blazer from Primark with the super feminine ruffles of the dress. This is a really versatile piece, it can be worn with or without tights, with a cardigan or a heavier blazer or coat & it looks lovely with either heels or flats. I'm silly & didn't photograph the shoes I was wearing but on this occasion it was a pair of simple black flats. If I were going out in the evening & wanted to make an effort I'd pair it with my favourite pair of black heels that I've been practicing (I'm very new to heels!) walking in & I think I'm getting pretty good at it! Yay!
I'm really out of outfit of the day picture taking practise but I think these are one of my favourite posts to write! Hopefully the lighting isn't terrible & I didn't ramble too much, or at least no more than usual!
What would you wear this dress with? Do you have a favourite dress in your wardrobe?

Gorgeous dress! I'd wear it with sandals and a light cardi :) x
ReplyDeleteSuper cute dress! Looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm always throwing on cardigans over things because of my arms but if I had yours I wouldn't bother :|
ReplyDeleteThough I get what you mean about pale flesh being overwhelmed sometimes by an article of clothing - something I suffer from! Lol!
Much Love

You look beautiful in this gorgeous dress, Jennie! I love red with polka dots (;
ReplyDeleteOops I've gone and bought it! I thought the dress was really pretty the first time you posted about it, but £32 was a bit much, £15 is a great price though.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit posts, they're my favourite to read :)

ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous dress. I think your pale skin goes well with it tbh
ReplyDeleteThis dress suits you so well! I'd probably style it in a similar way, just with something simple x
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the dress with the blazer! I've never thought of doing that before!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks super cute too by the way - I wonder how it would look with a little white cardi and plain white flats! The pink would probably really stand out (: xx
Absolutely adore the blazer!
