The Style Post: That Primark Dress…


This year I made a style-related promise to myself – in addition to not flashing a ridiculous amount of leg (or even bum cheek in some cases) unless i’m in my garden – I wanted to invest in a few cute summer dresses, and maybe get round to wearing some of the ones I already own. With a few of last years dresses being cracked out more than once recently, I felt it was acceptable to purchase a new one, and when I saw this red Primark number  on Lily’s blog I was straight on to ASOS.

It’s a little long, so at the moment I’m shortening it at the waist and holding it in with a belt, but the wonder web may come out to play once i’ve decided on the ideal length, as it really does look best without a belt. I actually think this will work quite nicely come autumn time (or maybe even just next week with the crazy UK summer) with my trusty leather jacket, some thick tights and maybe even a nude jumper thrown on top. So for Β£13, it was more than worth the money.

Let me know if you like these kinds of videos as I’d love to do a few more – I’ll have to practise my video posing first though as I don’t think I quite have that in the bag yet!

    Hello πŸ™‚ I've been following your videos from the start, I did and still do love them and I knew you had a lovely blog. For some reason I've never actually READ the blog, I suppose because I felt "behind" – because there was so much to catch up to. But I'm SO glad that I did and also became a decent subscriber, so I see when a new post comes up and I can read it πŸ™‚
    Although seeing this dress on few blogs already, I think it suits YOU in a nutshell! Maybe it's the way it's styled as well, but I think the whole outfit is great and – definitely – yes to more!! πŸ™‚

    I absolutely love this dress, i've already got a very similar one from River Island but at Β£13 i think i might actually be able to justify it! Looks gorgeous on you, i really love the bag too.

    I love your dress. Especially the shape of it. I have been doing my best to wear more dresses lately too. It was a lot easier to do during the brief 3 weeks of warm weather we had though.

    You look so pretty in that print! I couldn't find any print dresses as nice as this one when I was at Primark (sadly, no Primark in the states).
