Hi everyone! I know I wore this outfit aaaages ago, but I forgot that I had left the images as a draft post on my blog (oops), but I didn't want to not put it up because I really liked my dress here. So, this dress sort of 70's style which is everywhere now and recently I've been shopping on YesStyle as well as adding things into my wish list and I didn't even realise I saved a lot of dresses like this and almost bought a very similar one to this, but luckily I remembered I have this lool. I was a bit worried that it would look funny because it's not maxi or short, it's midi and I've always thought that midi pieces always look nice only when you wear tights or who don't wear anything underneath. However, with these lengths I always end up wearing my skinny trousers that I've had for years now, from Bershka, but the only issue I have with these is that, they are fitted around my thighs and then when it gets to the calves it's much more loose. But, if I may say so myself, I got away with it, with the outfit still looking nice and all, especially the fact that I wear Hijab, I guess it let's me off easy, also I guess it's better this way for modesty purposes and all :)
As you may know already (depending on whether you've read my instagram comments when I've posted pictures or read my previous blog posts), I LOVE bell sleeve, puff sleeves, flare sleeves any of that sort of sleeved blouses and they are the best things to wear underneath pieces such as this dress, which is very open and completely sleeveless. this specific one I've had for years now and I always end up going back to it even though I have others, because it's silky and not too puffy.
I have been wanting a new style of necklace for a long time now, because I got sick of my necklaces that I have currently as they are all quite similar, you know diamondy and huge (though now, at this moment I still love them), but I saw this in Zara and just fell in love, but I guess this necklace is a love or laugh sort of one, meaning either you love it or people will be like "seriously what are you wearing?" and I've had that, but I still love it! I don't mind when people say that though because everyone has their own tastes and opinions, though I think sometimes you need to think that what you say might hurt other people who are more timid, if you know what I mean.
Ahhh, I forgot, but there was an issue with this dress and it was that the shoulders were HUGE, so huge that I had to safety pin them down to my blouse, but even my blouse is loose so it was still dropping down, which means I should have pinned it all the way down to my bra straps (which I have done before :), ahhh the things you have to do sometimes to wear what you want). Also this dress was a small size :| and still so big!
I have brought my leopard print coat back out again, which I had bought a few years ago from the Zara sale and even though the white parts have really not been white at all, I don't care, I'll still wear it. The funny thing is even now I don't tend to like animal prints, because I used to feel it can look very tacky and I do think the same now, but you have to look at the print carefully and this one didn't seem tacky at all to me, hence the reason of me buying it and wearing it all the the time, despite it being dirty. Recently, I really am liking snake print (which I never imagined I'd like ever in my life! But it's mainly in the shoes).
My dress was from Forever 21 which I bought not too long ago, I think a few months ago, so it could still be there and it was really cheap, I think around £15, but that and the necklace (from Zara) are the only things in this outfit which I bought fairly recently, hope that helps.
Thank you for reading :) hope you'll be back for the next one which is also in a draft lool.
