I’ve been trying to get some more
‘girlie’ into my wardrobe. I don’t wear skirts and dresses as much as I could.
I rarely wear them in fact. I’ve just never felt comfortable in them unless
there is a specific reason to wear one – a special occasion, evening out, some
kind of fancy meal. I love and live in jeans - especially in the colder weather. Primark have launched a collection of dresses that are only
£5 though and whilst they’re not made with the thickest of materials they are fairly
well put together. I opted for this green skater style because I’m in love with
anything green at the moment. It’s plain so I can dress it up or keep it
casual depending on how I feel but here I've kept it super casual. The only thing is that its very short on me – I can’t bend over
without flashing someone. Never a good thing. Bear in mind though that I am 6ft tall so obviously
this won’t be the case for anyone that’s an average height - it would probably be a lovely (and respectable) just-above-the-knee length for most.
With the weather being colder
I've thrown a black long sleeved cardigan over the top as the dress is short
sleeved. It’s simple with pockets and I like to think it streamlines the whole
look a bit more as well as keeping me a little bit warmer than simply wearing
the dress on it's own would. I’ve just thrown an old black belt around it to give it some
detail at the waist. I’ve left my legs
bare for this photo but thick black tights would look good with this dress too and would possibly be the more 'common sense' option considering the frosts we've been having.
Apologies for the bright white legs – I don’t tan often (never naturally anyway) and therefore I tend to look
paler than pale most of the year. I’ve teamed my new ankle boots with the look
(I’ll be honest I’m teaming them with absolutely everything at the moment
because I’m ecstatic to have found a pair that fit me well for so cheap)
because it’s autumn but I think some wedges in summer would look great or even
some slipper shoes if I wanted to make it extra casual.
Have you bought one of the £5 dresses from Primark yet?

I bought one of these for my sister and I know she gets loads of wear from it, with leggings and boots I think for day-to-day college wear. I think they're a great bargain.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely a bargain! I'm definitely going to look for some thick leggings to put with it now! Thank you for the idea! xxx
DeleteI've pretty much bought the Primark £5 dresses in every style and colour haha! I love them, and they fit so nicely too :)

They do fit really well! I think if I can get one that's a bit longer then I'll be tempted to pick one up in another colour! xxx
