A Pop of Purple

25 March, 2013






Dress*: c/o Fashion Union // Belt: New Look, £2.99 // Beanie: eBay, £2.20 // Boots: Topshop, £75

Here's yet another neon beanie from my never-ending beanie hat collection! It's from the same seller as my beanie hat in this post here, but personally the purple colour is my absolute favourite! I wear it all the time whilst the weather is still a bit chilly out, despite it being springtime! The button up, shirt dress was sent to me by Fashion Union, which features the cutest little repeat triangle print all over. The only problem I have with this dress is that it runs a little small across the chest as you can probably see from these photos. I'm not particularly big chested at all and usually wear a size small, which I asked for in this dress, however now I realise a medium would have fit a little better. If you are considering purchasing it, I would suggest going up a size so it's fits more like a smock dress. Other than that, I absolutely adore it, as it's the perfect daytime dress!

You'll have to excuse my pale, bruised legs. I don't think one week goes by when my legs aren't covered in bruises. I don't even know how the bruises get there half of the time! I could definitely do with a nice, natural tan right about now. Bring on the summer please! I'm back in Southampton now and have returned to our internet being cut off for a late bill payment, which is the reason why I have not been very internet active recently. Whoops! Hopefully, it'll be up and running again soon, because I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms.
