Teagan Dipped Hem Dress in Black and Taupe
I had a wedding to go to on Wednesday and for ages I was looking for a dress. I went to the usual places of topshop, river island and searched online with boohoo and missguided but found nothing. There were a lot of nice black dresses but I'm a strong believer in wearing colour for a wedding so I decided against them. I then remembered about motel rocks, I've never bought from there before but I'd heard such good things about it. After picking between two dresses I decided to get this one because I loved the dip hem skirt and the black top of it meant I could pair it up with black shoes.
It arrived quite quickly, which I'm super happy about and I was really happy with the price (£18.00 in the sale, really can't even think about complaining about that price because it's so good). Anyway, unlike the picture and the description the skirt wasn't a pink or a nude sandy colour, it was more of a nude beige. I was a bit let down with that because I was looking forward to the nice pale pink skirt. The top of the dress was a stretchy material which didn't look tacky unlike most stretchy material, luckily as well I could hide my bra under it. It was a nice length, I did worry a bit because I am very short and I was scared that it would be by my feet but it was calf length. I paired this dress up with my suede wedged boots from newlook that I got last year that have a gold zip on the side. Apart from the colour of the skirt, I am very pleased with motel rocks. I don't think I'll be buying much coloured dresses off them again in case I am slightly disappointed again like I was with the skirt of this but I would buy other clothing off them. I also would recommend motel rocks with the price and the quick delivery.
Today at the train station there was a girl there (she couldn't be anymore than a size 16) and she was wearing cut off denim shorts, the type that shows a bit of the bum. She obviously was wearing tights and I didn't think anything of it but two boys were speaking to each other and said "that's disgusting" and it made me think, does being a certain size actually stop you from wearing certain stuff or not?
Ok, I have to admit I am guilty of thinking things like "she shouldn't be wearing that" but who doesn't? But the thing I'm thinking of is, should curvy or plus sized women stick to always being covered up? Do slim or size zero girls actually have the body to be wearing tight clothing and cropped tops?
I'd like to know peoples opinions on this because to me I feel as if as long as you have the confidence and personality to wear something it looks amazing, no matter the size of the person.
So, here is my current wish list of clothes. I've always tried to avoid the whole "grunge" look because to me, it wasn't appealing but I've fallen for the trend now. Also, I'm surprised that I found all but one items on my wishlist from newlook. I very rarely find anything I like on there but their new stuff is amazing.
1. Topshop - Speckle Roll Sleeve Mini Dress - £26.00
I've always wanted a nice dress that I could wear with anything and this one caught my eye. It seems a nice length, just above the knees. The colour is a lovely light blue and seems to only hug in at the right places. Looks like the perfect dress for winter and summer!
2. Newlook - Diffuse Khaki Stud Shoulder Camouflage Jacket - £39.99
Like most girls now, I really want a camouflage jacket! They're highly in fashion right now and could go with so many different styled outfits. Sadly, I have to admit, I do feel as if these shops have over priced most of the jackets which has put me off buying them but I don't feel like it will be long till I cave in. The newlook jacket has lovely gold studs over the chest and around the pockets. Studs and camo, two things a girl needs in her wardrobe right now.
3. Newlook - Gola Khaki Mckellen Union Jack Backpack - £34.99
I think a jacket, shoes and bag make or break an outfit and this backpack would make my wishlist outfit. It's a perfect colour, the little union jack badge looks adorable on it and backpacks are in right now. I miss carrying around a backpack because I feel as if I can't carry much on a one shoulder bag or it hurts too much. Big price tag but beautiful bag!
4. Newlook - Black Glitter Brothel Creepers - £24.99
I've had a love/hate relationship with creepers. I've seen some girls wear them with amazing outfits and then I've seen girls wear them with horrible ones. I think these are adorable with the glitter on the top where the usual animal print is. I'd be happy to buy these but I'd be scared to wear them too much in case the glitter starts looking very tacky.
5. Newlook- Grey Mohair Cable Knight Bobble Hat - £4.99
I love hats a bit too much but I don't have a nice winter hat like this. Could go with so much outfits and is the type that would stay in fashion for years to come. Also, at £4.99 you really can't go wrong for a nice winter, warm hat!
6. Newlook- House of Holland Black Suspender Tights - £12.99
A pair of tights that have been very popular for so many years. I had a pair once but sadly they snagged on a wall and ripped. I do think these tights always look better with a dress or a skirt for some reason, they were very good quality as well. I'd love to have another pair and would gladly pay the price of £12.99 for tights as I've had substitute ones from places like primark before and they were shockingly bad.
