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.

Thanks for reading!

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.

This dress comes in pink, blue and black you can find all the links below.

Being a N.E.R.D

My first outfit post using my baby ( DSLR camera). So this outfit was kind of a spur of the moment as it was a bit windy outside but warm enough to wear a skirt. So this is the very thought process that goes through my head for every outfit I plan, first I would start with a skirt then look at the colours and go through all my clothes in my head to find a match. For example this outfit started as the skirt, a plain black crop top and a black kimono but after remembering my blue and red jumper I paired it with that knowing the reds would go perfectly together to contrast the black and blue from this outfit. The shoes I only wore for the purpose of the outfit post as I loved the whole look once I had tried them on however when I went out in this outfit I wore just black trainers and orange frilly socks. This outfit is more of an autumn look as I am slowly looking at more coats and layers for the season change however feel it is also quite bright so perfect for the in between seasons look.
