If You're a Bird, I'm a Bird


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.


What do you think of my outfits? Let me know below in the comments!

  1. 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.

  5. Lovely 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!)

    1. Thanks 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
