This dress is a payday treat. Its the only thing I am going to buy this month. I really need to start saving. It has been sitting in my Primark for about a week in my size, must have been a return as it was the only one. It was fate that it became mine! I love the print on the top. Ugh my face looks so rough haha! I don't cope with hangovers very well! I could not be bothered with my hair so just scrapped it back. Effort is not my friend today!

I am extremely hungover. Still. I blame the 6 hour shift at work which was torture! Luckily I was hidden in the stockroom so was away from all the hustle and bustle! I got some amazing news at work today. I no longer work the weekends as from 20th march. Result, no more hangovers at work! Woop woop haha!

A quick outfit post of what I am wearing tonight. I'm going out for a chinese buffet with some people from work. I so need this, hopefully it will sort my hangover out and stop me from being such a wimp. I am planning on stuffing my face to the max. I have to get my moneys worth haha!

Hope you all have a lovely evening!

My face looks so silly because my friend was making me laugh! So I am trying not to laugh!

I am off out tonight as you can see by the bottle of wine! It is actually our second bottle opps! I have not been out for ages and am spending tonight with my best friend which I am extremely excited about! We always create a bit of trouble together! I have been laughing since the time she got here!She cracks me up! Currently raving to a bit of old school Kings of Leon, the best kind!

I have tried to do a bun again but it not quite as good as the first time. It has too many grips in it for me to attempt it again haha! I love this dress, I think it is one of my favourites. I just think it looks quite flattering and doesn't matter if I am having a fat day! The shoulders are gorgeous hence why I have worn my hair up to show them off. I think I need to invest in a new pair of black shoes and a new black handbag, I seem to wear these on every night out! Next payday I promise!

Hope you all have a good night and a massive hello to all my new followers! :)

Opinions needed please!

I have been after trying my hand at alterations for a while. So when I spotted this dress at a Jumble Sale at the weekend for just 25p (!!!!), I thought it would be the perfect starting point. I was going to take it up to just above the knee. But when I tried it on I actually really like the length. I feel like a lady. Like my boyfriend said, I feel like I should be having a summer picnic in Hyde Park. I think it is from the 80s as it had shoulder pads which I took out straight away. I have no desire to look like an American footballer. I looked up the label and it is a House of Fraser brand that still sells in store today. Brand new dresses retail at £89!

Excuse the bare feet but I am stuck on the footwear department. I tried brogues but they just did not look right. I tried white tights with it but alas I looked like I was wearing surgical stockings so I think it will be a strictly summer dress.

So opinions please!

Shall I alter it? Will it be difficult because of the pleats? (I can always get some help off my Aunt as she used to be a dressmaker)

What shoes would go best with it?

The jumble was a success, apart from the fact I nearly got beaten up by 80 year old grannies. No one comes between them and bargains as I found out! I managed to get a bunch of things for Ebay, brand new electric blue flat pumps from New Look, a pair of pearl earrings (RIP they have now broken, quite possibly why they were 50p!) and a huge Mary Poppins style carpet bag which I am unsure on wether to keep or sell.

Outfit details:

Cream cardigan: Topshop

Cream statement ring: Primark

P.s how amazing is my new bed cover! It was from Primark! Inside it has rows of cameos, I am in love!
