Floral smock.
I am a huge fan of smock dresses. Mainly because they hide the area that I am most concious of: my stomach.
Please ignore my face on these photos. I took them at about 12am; therefore, my make up had worn off and I was a little weary.
Anyway, there is the smock. I love anything with a 60s feel to it and I feel that this dress has that feel. I realise it is short and I would more than likely wear leggings or tights with it. I know some of you reading this will, perhaps, think that is boring, but I'm trying to grow in my confidence at wearing more daring things. As I said, it hides the area that I am not most comfortable with showing off: my stomach, and has floaty sleeves which also hide my arms when I'm not feeling too great about those either.
I bought the dress from a Next clearance store at the York Outlet. I was really pleased with this purchase, because I was, at one point, going to pay full price for the dress. So, instead of paying £40 (or maybe more) for the dress I got it for £15! See, every so often it does pay off to look in outlet shops. (I say it like that because I usually hate sales and outlet shops such as TKMaxx). I didn't buy the dress when it was originally in Next, because I wasn't sure as to whether I liked the pattern. However, with a reduced price, I decided that I like the pattern much better with £25 knocked off the price!
Enjoy!
Attempt at Zebra Print.
As promised, I am updating all my lovely (albeit, not many) followers on my recent purchases. I use the word recent loosely here, because I have bought most of them over a month ago, I've just been too busy and/or lazy to take photos and upload them onto here. However, here is the first one I've decided to introduce you all to:
So, here it is. I bought this a few months ago now. I was quite sceptical at first, because I always feel like I can't wear animal print because of the colour of my hair. However, I thought seeing as this one was pink and white (not a standard animal colour as I do recall) and the zebra stripes are broken up with actual zebras, that I would give it a try. As you can see the dress also incorporates the dip-hem trend. This was something else I was desperate to try and that persuaded the purchase for me. There is also a zip detail on the back, which I have neglected to take a photo of simply because I forgot about it, until now.
I've only actually worn the dress once, due to a lack of suitable footwear that would go with the dress.
When I did wear it, I styled it with a thin black belt at the waist, black tights, a denim jacket and my white converse. It looked pretty cool, though I think black converse (if I owned any) would have gone better.
The dress cost £12.99 from H & M. As I said, I bought it a few months ago, so I am doubtful as to whether it shall still be in stores. Perhaps as a sale item.
Enjoy.

Scrub up well, me.
This is what I wore to my boyfriend's boss' retirement party last night. The dress is from Warehouse. Tights from good old Marks and Spencer and my shoes are from Evans. I'm not sure if the dress is still on sale, but the shoes are really old. Not that you can see them anyway.
My nail polish (you can barely see it) is Blue Moon by Barry M. So much love for Barry M.
