OOTD: Young Folks

12 May, 2012


Dress: Charity Shop, £7 // Bralet: Urban Outfitters Sale, £5 // Belt: Primark (old), £1 // Necklace: Rock N Rose, Gifted // Arm cuff: Topshop Sale, £4.50 // Boots: Topshop, £75

I picked up this maxi dress from a charity shop earlier in the week. It's a little too big around the chest, so I have to wear this bralet underneath to avoid a possible "slip of the nip" as I like to call it. I'm gaining so many maxi dresses and skirts for the summer, because unfortunately shorts just don't seem to suit me. I tried on a pair of beautiful floral shorts in Republic yesterday and I almost had a mini breakdown in the fitting room because I looked like a hippo squeezing into a thong in them. I'm not looking for sympathy because I know I'm not exactly big, I just have a lot of hatred for my bottom half. However, a positive has come of this horrid meeting with the shorts of doom and I have kicked myself into shape by cutting down my food intake and eating a lot healthier. I'm also introducing green tea and pure lemon juice back into my daily intake to speed up my metalbolism. Hopefully I'll be slipping into those shorts in no time!

I finally have the Rock N Rose Kora Inverted necklace. After tweeting about my need for it in my jewellery collection a lovely lady gifted it to me! I haven't taken it off since it arrived at my door yesterday morning and I doubt I'll be taking it off for a long time coming. If you've been watching Britain's Got Talent you would have seen that Loveable Rogues got through to the finals! So this is my plea to you one last time to pick up your phones and vote for them tonight! Every vote really does make the world of difference.

  9. I love your dress, the armband is great too. I have the floral one from Topshop and cannot wait until it is warm enough to bust it out. I feel your shorts pains, I don't even attempt jeans shopping anymore as it is soul destroying! x
