braving bare legs

dress: motel
necklaces: lilac edge
belt: asos
bag: primark
socks: primark
shoes: dr marten

well, the sun's still playing hard to get nowadays it seems. yesterday i nipped out briefly with my mum to do some shopping, and despite the sun being tucked away behind a few clouds, the temperature out wasn't unpleasant, so out i went in a dress, braving bare legs. a wise decision i thought as it was still pretty muggy out, however i was met with a few strange looks while out by people in jeans and coats. perhaps it's just me, but i couldn't help but feel that in 17 degree heat a coat and jeans is a little over the top, but each to their own i suppose!

i'm wearing some more lilac edge goodies here and i'm more than in love with my new gemstone necklace; isn't it just so pretty?! if you're after some pretty jewellery at more than affordable prices, i'd definitely recommend going and giving my friend alice's shop a little browse because you could bag yourself some lovely pieces at fab prices.

punching in a dream

 dress: motel
necklace: handmade
belt: asos
socks: h&m
boots: missguided

motel is a brand that i find myself constantly browsing the website of, but never actually buying anything from, and it all boils down to the fact that their full price items are just so bloody expensive, even with the constant 20% discount that they offer! the last time i bought a motel dress was back in the summer when they had a sale on, so i decided to have a nosey through their january sale to see if anything took my fancy and this little number caught my eye.

this dress was £20 in the sale, and after adding my additional 20% student discount onto the price, i walked away with it having only paid £16 which is a reasonable price for any dress, let alone one that had been previously priced at £45! the standard delivery service was superb and i had my dress within 2 days of ordering, so definitely no complaints on service from my end!

the dress is a tad on the large side, however i was so eager to throw it on that i didn't have the patience to send it back in exchange for a smaller size so threw a belt around the waist to pull it together a little and i think it did the trick. definitely a new wardrobe favourite!
