Dress: Topshop (sold out)
Shoes: Primark Wedges
Bangle: Custom Made

I posted about this dress here when I bought it a few weeks ago. I'll admit I didn't actually wear it out the house when I wore it as I'm still saving it for Alex's Graduation on Friday but I know there won't be time for posing (apart from the obligatory photos with Alex in his robes!) and I really wanted to take some pictures in it. 

I love the print of this dress so much, the only thing I'm not sure about is the length. I think it could do with being a teensy bit shorter. I'm quite funny about the length of skirts/dresses, even though I don't particularly like my legs (horrible knees) I hate wearing anything too long - you'll never see me in anything on the knee, below the knee or mid-calf, it's just mini or maxi for me! It'll be okay for Alex's graduation but it might be taking a holiday to my Mum's house where all clothes go when they are in need of some sewing handiwork :)

  1. Love this dress, the print is so pretty and it's a perfect length - although i'm a bit like you and always worry about whether dresses and skirts are too short or not short enough!

    Loving your blogs makeover too :) x

  4. That dress is so beautiful. It suits you wonderfully. Maybe you could take it to a tailor and have the hem pulled up a little? Or wear a tulle petticoat or something to give it a little lift?

    1. Ooh thanks I hadn't thought have that, I do have a white netted petticoat that might look nice under it.
