I've been looking for the perfect Alexa Chung style dungaree dress for a while now. I finally managed to order this one from Topshop. They only had it in Petite for ages and even though I'm only 5' 4" it was waaay too short for me. To be honest the normal size one is a bit on the short side too but its fine if you wear tights with it. This is so much nicer than any other dungaree dress I've ever seen. I love that the denim is actually made of jersey so its really comfortable to wear. This whole outfit is really comfy, perfect for lazing about in. I got this top from Dorothy Perkins, it was rather difficult to find a plain stripey top around here probably due to the lack of H&M. I'm glad I got this one though as its ridiculously soft and the arms aren't tight at all.
I also finally got around to trying out my new Illamasqua nail polishes. I bought Collide (the pink one) and Jo'mina (the purple one) last month but never got round to wearing them. The hype about Jo'mina is very much justified, its so different to pretty much every purple polish out there. Can't wait to try out Collide too, totes couldn't resist adding another neon to my collection! I also found THE perfect falsies to put it on. The Nailene petite square nails are so short, it feels like I'm not wearing any but my nails look about a million times better than normal. I can still use my laptop, phone, do the dishes etc. and they don't get in the way at all. You have to cut your own nails really short in order to wear them but I prefer having these on to having my own long nails that just split all the time. I bought mine from here.
Love your dress! Definitely keeping an eye out for this one :)
ReplyDeleteNEON NAILS! love them. and you look lush, love the mix of denim and stripes x

oh nice, the purple is lovely. I've been getting shellac polish done at the salon and it's great. £10 for shape and polish and it stays on for 2 weeks with no chips xx

ReplyDeleteI love that the title is an Arctic Monkeys song :) & I really adore this outfit. The dungaree is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress, I have one which I've had since I was about 11 which I can still squeeze into, I kid myself it's fashionable but it's nowhere near as nice as yours! (: x
ReplyDeleteI love your dress and it really suits you! It's good you found a top with looser sleeves, I HATE tight sleeves on stuff, it's a pet hate! (albeit a weird pet hate!)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised to hear you're only 5'4, you look taller from your photos.
That's definitely a very different colour, it's gorgeous! xx

That purple colour is gorgeous, might have to get myself one of those polishes! And those falsies look really natural and neat, and sounds great that they don't get in the way when using your computer and phone etc.
