I am wearing a New Look Inspire Bardot dress in a size 22, I am usually a 20 on top and this was a ok fit so I would size up, I bought this for a bargain tenner in the Asos sale. I always loved Bardot tops in the 80's but somehow never had one so this is my chance.
Here's a picture of the dress without the cardie, I teamed it with my trusty Dolly Cool Zombie cocktail necklace.
Despite not being in love with the Voodoo Vixen plus size collection I did adore this cardie and although it was a bit expensive I bought it from Simply Be. I did mean to send it back but forgot! But is super cute with the cat applique and it makes me feel a bit sweater girl.
This is where cute may have threw up I then teamed it with a Milkshake bag bought in the New Look Sale for a bargainous £4.00, some Iron Fist shoes in Buns and Roses (look closely there are Bunnies!) and Hamburger earrings from Qu'tse in the Chinatown Market. I was going for a Grease themed stranded at the drive in look but not too sure I got there.
So there you have it is more, more or perhaps less would have been better, personally I think either the shoes or the bag should have gone but you live and learn and fashion is about fun and experiments right?

ReplyDeleteYes Milkshake is great, I could drink one now! It's hard getting dressed sometimes as my inner 6 year old screams that she wants all the accessories and all the glitter! Thanks Katt x
DeleteI really love that dress. In fact, I'm popping to the New Look site now to get a better look at it! Always best to be overdressed, definitely xx
ReplyDeleteIt is best in my opinion but sometimes I have been known to go OTT, I like the dress but I'm not convinced it's a keeper x
