Close your eyes and cut…

 

Necklace – Topshop
Dress – DIY H&M
Leather Jacket – Topshop boutique
Fur Stole – Asos
Shoes – Office via eBay
I think you should all know that I am now freeeeee from university for the christmas holidays…well kinda, I should really be doing dissertation but I may use my time in Verbier for that (obviously when I’m not skiing or snowboarding).
So seeing as I handed in all my assignments on Wednesday I felt it rude not to go out and celebrate but I had an absolute nightmare trying to find a dress, Inlovewithfashion.com sent me the most beautiful dress the other day but I seriously couldn’t bring myself to wear it to a student night, it’s far too gorgeous for that so I took a little inspiration from it instead.
I came so close to spending £48 on a dress in Topshop that I didn’t really want, Until the brainwave came to me, I’d seen this dress in H&M for £14.99 which I can totally justify spending, but the length was AWFUL on me. After checking the hem of the layers I realised I could rectify this so off I went. I decided I was going to give the dress a “mini” drop back hem, which meant it could be as short as I like (I love a batty rider) in the front and then I’d be ok with the length in the back because it would make the dress a little bit quirky.
I didn’t really have time to measure and stuff so I just sorta grabbed the nearest white eye liner and drew a even line up to the point I felt the hem should sit, said a little prayer and cut.
I had visions of it going hideously wrong but I was pretty happy with the results….just not with the overall warmth factor of the dress ha-ha when did I become such an old woman??

  1. This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to

    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

  2. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long)
    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
    Do you have any recommendations for novice blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it. https://tinyurl.com/23ww4xyv gamefly free trial
