Tropical Frills - Part Two

Numero Doux! So this is the second way I styled the dress I was given by Desire Clothing, I tucked the dress into my yellow midi skirt from Primark which on its own looked lovely, but something was missing. After having second thoughts about this look I decided to wrap my obi belt around my waist to create a barrier between the dress and skirt to make it look more of a top and skirt combo. I thought it was a cute, fun and flirty way to wear a dress rather then just a normal dress.

Tropical Frills - Part 1

Look at that! its sunny in September who would have thought that anyway I have FINALLY got around to blogging this beautiful dress I received from the lovely people at Desire Clothing. The moment this dress arrived through my door I immediately ran into my room to try it on! The fit is perfect not too tight and not too loose, the colours are so vibrant so are more of a spring/summer look then autumn/winter. To keep to the vibrant look and the shape of this dress I paired my neon coral coloured obi belt with this dress as I feel it adds to the silhouette of the dress.

Two ways to style - Maxi Skirt

Hey guys so as its the BESTIVAL weekend here on the Isle of Wight I thought I would show you how to style one outfit for both the evening and for during the day. My first outfit is simple but perfect for a festival as the off the shoulder bardot top lets your top half see the sun while the maxi skirt keeps you looking elegant. The skirt is more like a long midi skirt on me but it should really be down to the floor, damn my tallness. However I know this outfit might be too covered for some people so for the second way you I did it so you could have your legs and shoulders out.

First Way

Outfit Details

Skirt - Internacionale

Top - Topshop

Bag - Accessorize

Shoes - Newlook

Second Way

For the second way I folded over the waist band and pulled the skirt up so it rested on my chest as a strapless dress. I then put a plain black belt around the middle to give me some shape. I really like how versatile this look is as its very pretty and reminds me of a fairy, so perfect for a festival look. I decided to keep the bardot top on but you could either not wear a top or put a strappy vest underneath.

Thanks for reading! See you next time

Floral Affection

I was lucky enough to be sent this beautiful dress by Lauren from Desire clothing. This dress fits me so perfectly, it pulls in around the waist and helps to create and define curves which for me is rather flattering as I don't have the biggest bum or boobs. The dress is a pretty pastel pink with a hint of lilac and has blue and peach colours as a contrasting floral print. To style this outfit I decided to highlight the blue and peach from the dress by pairing this dress with my turquoise leather jacket and peach bag. I felt the blue of the necklace and jacket stopped the outfit from merging together as the dress and my hair are the same colour pink.

I love how the dress has a split on the back of the dress paired with the length it is the perfect way to show skin but keep yourself looking classy and elegant. The sweet heart neckline of the dress shows of cleavage as adds a beautiful detail, it compliments your upper body with the tightly fitted dress.
