Dot to Dot




1. River Island Spotty Tappy Dress (link here) - £25.00
2. Black Fluffy Jumper (E - bay)
3. Dr Martens Polley Shoe (link here) - £90.00

I feel that I look slightly awkward in these photos haha, so I apologise! I had just come back from a manic driving lesson with my dad.
 At this time of year I think everyone faces the dilemma of what to wear because the weather is very hormonal. This is why I love layering with a jumper without looking too overdressed or under dressed. 
In this post, I am wearing a navy blue polka dot dress from River Island which I purchased via ASOS as then I can get free postage, yay! I love polka dot; it's girly and cute. Not forgetting that this dress has a peter pan collar and I looooveee peter pan collars. I wore a black fluffy jumper which I purchased from E - bay over the top. I love this jumper as it is fitted and can be worn with various of things, definitely a big staple in my wardrobe at the moment. I love how the collar from the dress sits perfectly on top of the jumper. 
I wore my Mary Janes Dr Martens, so this adds to the cuteness. Like all Dr Martens, I advise to purchase a smaller size as they tend to come up a little bigger. These are the first pair that actually fit me properly as I purchased a size smaller. I always feel like I should be at Primary School when I wear these shoes but they are adorable after all. 

Until next time,

My Favourite Gingham Print Pieces

Firstly, I apologise for my lack of posts this week.  I am currently loving the gingham trend that is causing a storm within the fashion industry. Below, are my favourite Gingham pieces.

         1. Topshop Gingham Jeans £38 - Found here
2. Topshop Gingham Scuba Tee £28.00 - Found here
3. New Look Gingham Check Tube Skirt £9.99 - Found here
4. Daisy Street Theoni Drop Waist Gingham Dress £14.99 - Found here

Aren't these Gingham pieces just amazing? I currently own the two Topshop pieces and I love them! Joni Jeans from Topshop are the comfiest jeans ever as they are quite stretchy. The Gingham Tee from Topshop is quite a flattering fit I find. It is a little cropped than I had hoped for but it looks great as a matching set with the Gingham Joni jeans. Previously, I wanted to purchase the Gingham matching set from Topshop but it was quite pricey and the top was a vest top and I'm not overly keen on exposing the tops of my arms. But here is the link for it here. I also want a Gingham skirt. I am in two minds whether I want the skirt to be a skater style or a more fitted style. I am unsure whether to purchase the skirt above as I am yet to make a decision but I do like this skirt. It is a fitted, pencil skirt style and is a great price at only £9.99. What a bargain!. My next favourite piece is the drop waist Gingham dress from Daisy Street. I absolutely adore Daisy Street. They are always on point with the current trends and their prices are extremely reasonable. I have had my eye on this dress for quite a while now. It's different from any other Gingham dresses I have seen. I particularly like the drop waist and I like the turned up sleeves as I have noticed many of other Gingham dresses I have seen have had cap sleeves which show off the tops of the arms and as I said previously, I'm not keen on that. And this dress is only £19.99, bargain again!. 
I hope you are loving the Gingham trend too! :) 

Until next time,
