Spots & Denim // FASHION

Dress - New Look | Jacket - New Look | Shoes - Debenhams | Bag - George | Necklace - Amazon | Ring - Past Times


Hey guys! I may have mentioned before that this Spring/Summer I really want to try wearing more dresses. Dresses are something that I very rarely wear, unless it is hot (which doesn't happen very often at all in England), normally I will just stick to jeans and boots! I have promised myself that this year I must start wearing them a lot more. Recently the weather seems to have been getting somewhat warmer, which has given me a chance to start wearing dresses! There is one specific dress that I have been wearing many times, and this is a lovely black and white spotted dress from New Look.

Dresses are quite a difficult thing for me to buy as skater styles, which are what about 90% of casual dresses seem to be, don't suit me! This meant that when I was scrolling through New Look, and noticed a thing called t-shirt dresses I ordered a couple honestly with not much hope. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were quite nice, and suit me really well (I think so anyway)! Also, just a little note,I actually took all of these photos when I was away at Easter visiting family, so these were taken in the holiday house we stayed in, just to clear that up.

Like I said, the dress that I am wearing is from New Look, which I believe only cost me around £10! The cropped light denim jacket is also from New Look, however I bought this about two years ago from a car boot for £2! The jacket is a little looser than I would like it to be, since it's a size 10, but for £2 I couldn't really argue. I think that the spots and denim look really nice together as they are very Spring/Summer orientated! 

I paired the two with some simple black ballet flats, that have little black bows on, from Debenhams! These are from the children's range "Bluezoo", since my feet are very little and narrow, and these were the only pair, out of about 20 from various shops, that fit me. I also used my tan, cut-out print bag from George (Asda) to pull the outfit together a bit more! This is definitely a very dainty bag, and you can't fit many things in it (I can just about wedge in my purse, phone, sunglasses, compact and a few pieces of paper), but I found that my larger bags don't suit the outfit quite right. I bought the bag last year so sadly I can't give out a link to it!

I've also been wearing a couple of pieces of jewellery with this outfit (admittedly I do sometimes forget to put the ring on) - the first being a cubic zirconium infinity necklace with a little heart in! I featured this necklace in my Spring haul post the other week here, after I bought it off Amazon, and since then I have worn it a lot. It's a really cute little necklace that adds a little bit of sparkle to the outfit! The second piece of jewellery, like I said, is my wraparound silver leaf ring. I bought this 3, maybe 4, years ago from Past Times (before they closed) but it's only in the past year that I've actually started wearing it! This ring is pretty perfect for me since I also have narrow, thin fingers so I can adjust it to whatever fit I desire. 

I hope that you liked this post! I very rarely do outfit/fashion posts, but it would be great to start doing them more as they are quite fun to write. I'd love to know if you would like me to start doing more posts like this!
