Keep or Return.


TOPSHOP dress; H&M necklace.

Another fine example of my obsession with all things coral. I picked this dress up in the Topshop sale, and although I do like it, I'm not sure if I would actually wear it. Planning on returning it I think.

Leeds has been so warm today! I was not prepared, I hadn't painted my nails (so I couldn't wear sandals) and I was pasty pale (and therefore anything floaty and summery was not an option!). My flatmate and I went and had a wander around town and I bought a few more summery outfits... although I'm pretty sure I probably missed the hottest day.

These past few days have been all about finding some work experience in Leeds, I want to do something in marketing or PR eventually, ideally centred around beauty and/or fashion so I'm trying to fit in some experience around my full time job. It's proving to be near impossible finding anything.

What's everyone got planned for tonight then? I'm pretty sleepy after today so just going to fake tan and watch a movie. Thinking of getting my hair did tomorrow, I'm actually so sick of it! Thoughts?

  5. KEEP the dress, it's beautiful I love coral and the shape is gorgous. Been extremely hot here in Dublin too, my tan was too patchy to wear anything Summer-y so I was pretty much in the same position as you x

  17. I'm obssessed with coral too, this dress looks lovely on you! But I'm so picky with clothes and understand why you'd return it if you're not quite sure. Hope you find some work experience soon.

  19. Hey lovely!

    I'm from Leeds too, and I remember a time when I was looking for work experience in that field for Leeds area and it seemed there was nothing there...it can be so frustrating but good luck! If I hear of anything I'll let you know! The weather has been gorgeous today hasn't it, I've caught a right tan in the garden! Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

  23. I'd keep it, but wear it with a black underskirt to give it some more volume on the bottom half xx

  24. If you're not sure if you'll wear it, I think it's best to return it, and pick up something you know you will wear :)
    I hope you find some work experience!
    And with your hair, perhaps get some blonde-ish highlights put through, to give it a summery feel?

  25. Keep! It really flatters your skin tone and shape so well. It is also a really versatile dress. I can see this with a leather jacket and boots to 'tough' it up a bit or with long, chunky necklaces!

  29. I absolutely adore this on you. It goes with all your makeup that you usually wear and fits you like a glove! I would say not to return it because even if you do not wear it now you may in a month or so's time!

  30. Hmmm, I'm not too sure. Lovely colour but I don't really like the shape. Tonight I shall be sleeping LOADS as I drove home from Manchester in the stupid sun yesterday (5 hours!) and today I feel like death! Good Luck with finding Work Experience. x x
