Both dresses: New Look
Both necklaces: Topshop
I'd been eyeing up these midi dresses in New Look for a good few weeks before I bought them - I definitely went in to try them on multiple times. Eventually I bit the bullet and bought them (ooft, look at that there alliteration) because I couldn't resist any longer! The only problem once I'd decided I was definitely going to buy one of them (or two, as it turned out) was trying to decide which design(s) I liked best! New Look have got this style of midi dress in countless colours and patterns, but in the end I whittled the contenders down to these two as I thought they were the most flattering and the most versatile. I can see myself wearing them both casually in the daytime and dressing them up for a night out.
Incidentally, I think these two necklaces - which I purchased a few weeks ago from Topshop - would be ideal for taking these dresses from day to night. Statement necklaces are a big trend at the moment (no pun intended), and since I have traditionally favoured long chains and pendants I felt there was a gap in my wardrobe for these two necklaces. I've had a great amount of wear out of them both already as they can make any plain top or dress look a bit more snazzy - find out how I styled the coin necklace in this outfit post!

ReplyDeleteI love the two dresses - the tie dye is more statement, but the black dress will most probably be more wearable :) great purchases sweetie!

Thank you lovely! I'm following you back :) x
DeleteI used to be very much into the simple long chained necklaces with single pendants when I was in college. I believe they somehow became popular back then too. But since I've graduated, I'm seeing myself being more drawn to similar sizes as those you've just posted :) I like the one at the left. And I also like the printed dress. I have an affinity for oddly printed pieces, I don't know why... even if sometimes I just end up staring at them :p Haha
