I’m back!!(I hope) The plan was that when I finished my
second year if uni I would be back to blogging, but it didn’t turn out that
way. Three weeks later and all I have done is lay around and have fun, but now
I am finally back with a little outfit post which I love!
For a while I have been going on about finding a plain black
maxi dress. However my bank balance is very low as I still haven’t found a
summer job, so I was ok that I had not found a dress. Last weekend I went home
to visit mother dearest and I came across this dress in H&M. It is
basically exactly what I was looking for. The material is soft, similar to what
a normal top would be made out of. What I am trying to say it looks very
casual. For only £12.99 I just couldn’t resist, in my eyes that is quite a bargain.
I had planned from the start to pair my dress with a thin brown belt and brown sandals,
which I did. I forgot to take a picture of the sandals but they are from Primark
and only £5 (perfect for my bank balance).
I have always feared that a maxi dress would make me look
short. I am only 5’5 and though I don’t feel short a lot of people say I am. Fortunately
this dress did the exact opposite and makes my legs look very long. Wearing the
belt quite high up helped with this. I also found that as the belt pulled the
dress in slightly which was very flattering and made me look super skinny.
As soon as I bought the dress I text my house mate and told
her of my naughty purchase and she replied “That’s ok because you have really
wanted one,” that wasn’t a very good justification of my naughtiness for my mum
but it was certainly enough for me!
Thank you for bearing with me while I have been being lazy! Has
anybody else found any cheap summer buys?
