When invited to a jubilee garden party by my grandparents I didn’t
think too much about what I was going to wear. Having only just arrived back
home from university it was not at the top of my priorities. So when the moment
arrived when I actually had to crawl out of bed and chose something there was
only one dress I could think of. It is my old faithful. I bought this dress
when I used to work at Next. I saw it one day behind a rack of other clothes
and I hid it in the back store room to buy later on. Since then it has helped
me through many an occasion. It can be worn both in summer and winter simply with
a change of tights; it can be a casual dress to wear to the beach or a more
formal affair for dinners out. An all rounder really. I know it’s not a very
patriotic dress, not being red, white or blue, but this dress helped me through
yet another occasion.
The other bits a bobs I was wearing wear very cheap items
with I always wear with this dress. The belt is from H&M; only cost me about
£6 and goes with everything. I really enjoy wearing a belt because of the
hourglass figure I seem to be sporting. The shoes, which are slightly out of
shot, are cheap ones from Primark that I bought when brogues were all the rage.
These things help most outfits and all in all didn’t cost
very much. I got the dress with my Next discount (25% off), and the rest are
simply cheap accessories.
