Dresses galore

I was going to do a outfit post today but too be honest I feel rubbish. My coursework is getting on top of me like a ton of bricks and I feel so run down. I came home today and napped for two hours. Going to try and tackle some more work this evening. Ahhh well just have to battle through eh? I only have to last till May 12th then I am free of uni forever!

I came up with an idea of featuring the top five items in my wardrobe. Sound like a good idea? If not one is interested about what I own then just let me know and I won't do it again!

First up are my top five dresses. This was so hard to choose I have an obsense amount of dresses. They are my wardrobe, chest of drawers, airing cupboard and in the loft! Safe to say I own an awful lot!

1. Monsoon
This is my favourite dress. It is so beautiful in real life. I love the back with the little bows. The skirt is such a vibrant colour. At the time it was the most expensive thing I owned, I stayed in for a month so I could have it! I wore it to Ladies day at Ascot a few years ago and have not had a chance to wear it since. It's too special to just wear anywhere! I am going to Ascot again with a different set of people so I am going to bring it out then. I need some of my friends to get married!
2. Monsoon

I think Monsoon is fast becoming my favourite shop for dresses. Just a shame so many of them are out of my price range! I am yet to wear this as I brought it for my graduation in October. I know it is ages away but I just knew this was the dress! I feel so elegant in it and love the delicate beading round the neckline. I also brought a matching coat and feel a bit like Audrey Hepburn! It will be my dress for Ascot next year haha forward planning.


3. Topshop

This was yet another dress than I paid a lot of money for and didn't go out for a month. Fast becoming the story of my life eh? I can't resist pretty things! I blame my nan she practically pushed me to the till to buy it! Unfortunately somebody spilled red wine down it at my boyfriend's Christmas party and I nearly cried on the spot. My nan did manage to get it out but I still don't know whether to wear it again as I can see a slight mark but I think that's because I know it's there, no one else notices. Another thing is that it creases in second hence why it looks like a crumpled old rag!

4. Primark
I adore this dress, its nothing special but it is my to go outfit for everything. Whenever I don't feel very well or hungover I go to this! It instantly perks me up and is so comfortable to wear! The best £15 I have ever spent!

5.Primark
This is my most recent purchase and I wore it in my last outfit post. I love everything about it. I got so many compliments on it at the family party which is always nice! It is such a lovely length, I don't have to worry about constantly pulling it down and it does not look Primark at all!Primark has come up trumps yet again!

  5. Great post idea :)
    That first monsoon dress is amazing, I am having a coral obsessed phase at the moment; it seems everything I buy is in that colour! So perfect for summer

  8. All lovely dresses - I like your ethos of staying in for a month to afford them but doesn't that mean you're all dressed up with nowhere to go?!

  12. I love the idea of this, I wanted to do this a while ago, just because I fall out of love with my clothes so quickly, and wanted to recapture my love for them again (and remember this time)!
    Keep it up, its really interesting :)
