Hey Everyone!
How has your week been? Amen to the 4 day week, that's all I'm saying!!
Today I'm bringing you an outfit of the day featuring this beautiful Bird Printed Doll Dress I purchased from Simply Be. I'm going to pair it with two different jackets to show how you can dress it up or down but still have a really pretty look.
So this is what the dress looks like on it's own without any cardigans/jackets.
The sleeves are just the right length and for someone as paranoid about their arms as me this is so important. I'm tired of having to wear a plain black long sleeve top underneath, it ruins the look!
The dress is relatively short compared to the styles I usually wear, but I like it! The skirt part has a slight dipped hem so gives a bit of extra fabric to cover your backside, as you can see I wore it with tights and was absolutely fine.
I would say the dress is true to size and fitted me perfectly, I like how it nips in at the waist and gives a great feminine shape.
For my first look I have paired it with the holy grail pink PU biker jacket, also from Simply Be.
I think this look is really girly and great for spring. The colour of the jacket perfectly compliments the colours in the bird print and I thought the backdrop in this picture was good as the fallen petals almost look like feathers.
Next up is a more casual look with my denim parka coat also from Simply Be.
The coat is nice and lightweight so will see me into summer for the festival season.
I can totally see me wearing this at reading festival with a nice pair of pink wellies.

Oooo I LOVE this dress! This is exactly the kind of thing I live in; pretty print dresses, leggings or tights. Being a plus size too, seeing what other people where really helps inspire me. I am looking forward to pay day and having a little splurge so I might just add this to my want list.

I think it will look gorgeous on you! And I know what you mean about taking inspiration for outfits, the amount of times I've bought something off the back of another bloggers review!! I bought the dress because I saw it on Sprinkle of Glitter lol!! X

DeleteLovely dress - it's definitely not too short. I like it best with the pink jacket, but agree - the sleeves are perfect length (and I suspect EVERYONE has arm paranoia!)
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! And yes, I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on the arm thing. It's strange but they are the one thing I find most difficult to get out in pictures. X
DeleteI love the dress. It really suits you and the pink jacket too. Definitely your colour x
