What Milly Wore: Joules Marilyn Dress

Well fancy seeing you here :)

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine,

I have to admit I'm not the worlds greatest fan of the heat, but it's alright I suppose!

Here is an outfit I wore to work earlier in the week.

I was kindly sent this dress to review by Joules Online, 

as soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect for work, picnics, summer bbqs, even weddings!

The perfect combination of smart/casual/comfy.

The green/floral combination is gorgeous.

 It's called the Marilyn Dress, in the colour Apple, & I'm wearing a size 14

Size wise it's pretty spot on, quite a bit of stretch which is great.

If anything its ever so slightly generous so if you are between sizes 

or smaller on the bust then maybe size down.

 It's really wearable, very comfy and no word of a lie I got 5 compliments on it throughout the day!

The quality is great, the material  is not thin or flimsy,

and my favourite thing?

The fact that the wrap around top does not gape!

Being quite busty I find it very difficult to find dresses I don't fall out of,

this was cut perfectly to avoid any mishaps.

I wore my dress with

Gold Leather Topshop Ballet Pumps (ancient, in my shoedrobe forever)

RayBan Wayfarer Sunglasses (my go to this summer)

Tatty Devine Small Gold Parakeet Necklace

 & My Rose Gold  Leather Cambridge Satchel Company Satchel

which I got in their clearance section a couple of months ago.

 Here is my face/make-up

Red lippie - Chubby Stick

Gold Eyeliner - Topshop

Mascara - YSL

Overall I'm really impressed with the dress,

Joules is a brand I've always liked the look of but never purchased from

Their prices are a little on the high side but the quality is great, 

so if your looking for a special occasion or you can grab something in the sale then even better.

They've got plenty of summer dress designs that I will definitely be checking out!

See you soon :)

What Milly Wore: Gone Dotty

Hi Guys,

Here is an outfit that I wore last week and forgot to post about!

Polka Dot Silky Shirt: £20 Wallis (sale)

I almost never go into Wallis,

but I went in whilst shopping with my mum, and there was so much lovely stuff!

I was very surprised and will definitely be going back :)

Black & Gold Belt: Vintage £4 (Charity Shop)

Being unemployed for the first time since I've been old enough to work

I've had to rethink the way I shop,

and although I loved charity shop shopping before, I love it even more now!

Dark Blue Skinny Jeans: ASOS (sale)

Tan Loafers: Office

My go to comfy shoes.

Gold & Green Collar Necklace: Vintage £4 (Charity shop)

I have a lot to tell/show you about my recent charity shop finds

including this necklace so more on this in a later post.

AARRGHHHH Necklace: Tatty Devine

This necklace was technically free as I got it in a Tatty Devine swap/trade

and if you're wondering the lipstick is Mac Neon Orange, which I love

but actually can't tell the difference between that and Mac Morange

both of which I own

I liked this outfit muchly,but since these photos were taken 

I have said goodbye to the semi mullet I had going on there:)

its that time of year again.... Deadlines

Hello dear readers
all 36 of you (well followers anyway)
I'm up to my neck in uni work,
and I'm slowly (very slowly) and surely chipping away at it!

I'm a procrastinator,
and I'm very easily distracted so its gonna take a lot of will power!

anyway I should make a few posts,
but normal blogging will resume once the deadlines are out of the way
because I wont be scared of failing!

Above are pictures of me taken for my textiles project
I know it doesn't look particularly textilesy...
but my final one will

Hope you all have a good start to 2010

Toodles
