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!

We're not enemies; we just disagree

Outfit:

Cream lace dress: Primark

Leopard print faux fur coat: Next

Black tights: Primark

Vintage black Kelly bag: Car boot

Black faux suede wedges: New Look

Statement pearl ring: Topshop

Glitter red nail varnish: Barry M

Excuse my super dry hands, no hand cream seems to work! They always look red raw! I wanted to get a close up of my ring!

I am off to a family party in Norfolk tonight, always like a good knees up! They are all nutters! My poor dad though has to do a 5 hour round trip tonight as we cant stay over. Would not want to be in his shoes!

I love love love this coat! I cannot believe this is the first time I have worn. I got it for my birthday back in January. It was only £25 in the next sale! Working there does have its perks! I managed to score the Kelly bag at a car boot last Sunday, Oh how I love the season has started again! I am gutted I missed out on two jumbles today because I have to work :( The dress is one of my new favourites too, brought it a few weeks ago. I dont think it looks Primark at all! I am so happy I can use heated rollers again! I had all my hair cut off last summer. It went from waist length to just above my shoulders. Whenever I tried to curl it, it just looked awful. Thankfully it has grown!

I feel like I am the walking dead. So so tired. The sale always kills me! I did a 1-9 on Friday, a 7-1.30 today and I did a 1-7 tomorrow. I also have work tomorrow. Ugh I am thinking of all the money though! I really do need to start saving for a holiday!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you may do!

I have recently got a formspring, so if anyone has any questions hit me up!
