The road is long, we carry on


Dress: New Look (Kids section)
Cardigan: New Look (2011)
Nails: Barry M Gold Foil

After traipsing around Birmingham city centre for hours on Christmas Eve, looking for a dress to wear on Christmas Day,  I finally stumbled upon this one in the kids section of New Look. It's a lot like the ones I've been lusting after from Missguided, only slightly cheaper at £17.99. I wasn't sure which size to go for and didn't fancy trying anything on as I was exhausted, so I just went for an Age 12-13 which fits me perfectly as a size 8 as long as I don't bend over too much! It amuse me how, at 22, I can still fit into things that are meant for someone ten years younger. I think the New Look kids section is brilliant though. Admittedly, there are some things I wouldn't wear, but you can find near enough the same items from the adult section but at a cheaper price (VAT free!) and you can still get student discount on top of that. 

The necklace was a Christmas present off my brother. I think he got it from somewhere in Camden. I love the fact that it's multicoloured as it goes with literally everything. Plus, it's an owl which is always a bonus! Unfortunately, I had a bit of an incident on Christmas Day which involved me fishing this necklace out of the  toilet. It's been thoroughly sanitised though, don't worry! This is why I can't have nice things, I'm such a klutz.

Yesterday I received an invite to the #ZOMGbloggersbash, who else is going? I'm really excited to meet a lot of new people.

  7. It's funny cause the childrens actually fit better than some of the adults (and at half the price too!) I find an age 14-15 is a size 10! WINNER.
    This is a super cute dress, i love the colour.x
