When I got my student loan, I thought I'd treat myself to a few new clothing pieces. So I went onto eBay (my addiction) and typed in "fit and flare" and then "peplum dress" and these are what I ended up winning!
From left to right.
FIRST: The top is from Warehouse and I got it a couple of Christmases ago in Debenhams after my dad bought me a shopping experience there. It's so pretty and it's very versatile. It can be worn in summer, winter, with jeans, with a skirt, during the day, at night. I absolutely love it and I find myself wearing it all the time. The skirt is then from eBay and it was an absolute bargain at £4.49. Yes, it's from Hong Kong so it takes a little while to come but it's worth it. It's not the best quality but for less than £5, what are you expecting? It's beautiful, flattering and I adore it. You can find this skirt here. The necklace is from Tally and Hoe which I've blogged about before here. The necklace I'm wearing is the Scissors & Comb necklace* which is one of my favourites!
SECOND: The green dress is yet again from eBay. When I was bidding on it, I didn't see a brand name but I really didn't care to be honest. And even now, I'm unaware of what brand it is but it's such a pretty colour and cut that it just doesn't bother me. I've never been one for brand names and as long as I like it, the brand name definitely doesn't matter. This dress is peplum style around the backs and sides and at the front, it cuts away from the peplum style. I would say it's kind of a futuristic dress which is cute but what drew me towards it was definitely the colour. So pretty! The necklace in this outfit is one that my dad bought me for Christmas a really long time ago. It's a beautiful silver drop down necklace and I really love it. It was from Debenhams but I highly doubt they still have it in there as it is pretty old.
THIRD: And finally (almost) the pink dress is once again from eBay. This is a brand name and this is from BooHoo. I've had a look on the website but unfortunately, they no longer sell it. Once again what drew me to this was the colour. Pink is my favourite colour but ever since becoming a 'teenager' or even an 'adult' I just don't seem to buy pink clothes - probably because I think I'll look like a little girl. But I couldn't resist this dress. It's a bright pink, a very bright pink which shows off my newly spray tanned body (post coming soon) and yet again, it's a peplum style dress. This time, it's a full peplum dress and it also has black netting around the top.
The only things I don't like about the top in the first picture and the two dresses is that they don't have sleeves in them and seeing as I don't like my arms, it's not a good thing for me. But it's nothing that my beautiful, white blazer from Tesco can't fix! I'd been after a white blazer for a ridiculously long time and I walked past this in Tesco, saw it was £10 and very quickly bought it. I wear it on pretty much every night out. I love it so much. Finally the shoes (which are dirty and for some reason I didn't think to clean them before taking the pictures) are from New Look and I've had them a good few months now. They're the only heels I ever wear as they're comfy, easy to walk in and go with pretty much anything. These were really cheap when I bought them and when I looked on the New Look website I noticed that they're now in the sale and they're only £12. You can view these shoes here.
