Sixth-form Leavers Party.

I recently had my Summer Ball, which is like Prom but for after College or Sixth Form, so I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took and which dress I wore etc. I had an absolute nightmare selecting a dress, I just wasn't sure how dressy it needed to be-as it turned out is was a very mixed bag of dresses-. I originally chose a floral blank and white high-neck skater dress from New Look, which I loved, but I just thought it was too simple and not anywhere near dressy enough. So I went shopping and ended up getting this mint high-low chiffon dress from Forever 21 and it was just perfect!

'Not a great pose from me'.

I kept my make-up fairly plain, just to be elegant and also as it was a long night, I didn't want some elaborate eye make-up slipping down my face! And for my hair, I pinned it half back as I wanted an up-do but I also wanted her around my face. I kept the jewellery gold as the buckle on the belt was also gold, plus I just prefer gold jewellery. My cuff is from New Look and the necklace is from Forever 21. Unfortunately I didn't get a good shot of the shoes but they were a 6 inch beige pair of patent brogue-esk and I loved them!

It was a lovely evening and very sad as most of the people there I will probably not see again, so it was really nice to have a last evening. Here are just a couple of pictures from the night, the other dresses were just lovely too!

Hope you are all well and I will speak to you soon,

Wish I Could Wear a Midi.

I think that midi dresses look so sophisticated and I really want some! But I justdon't think I can wear them, and I'll tell you for why -little Gavin and Stacey quote there for you-... Anyway, the first reason I just don't think I could pull them off it because of my height. I feel like I go on about my height way too much, but it is a real inconvenience when it comes to clothing, dresses will be too long, skirts and tops as well. The main problem I have is with jeans, they are just so out of proportion with my legs, as they need to be wide at the thigh, go in at the knee and out again, so they are baggy in all the wrong places on me! And the second reason is that my boyfriend didn't like them, I know this shouldn't really matter but his opinion means so much to me -soppy-. Moving on from that, lets look at some dresses.

Love love love this, most midi dresses that I see around are either strapless or have the regular thick straps. So I think that these wet look cap sleeve is just so awesome, and for only £14.99, probably the best midi ever! Get yours at Missguided.

Again I like this dress as it's different to the standard one. The panelling against the lace insert looks so elegant, which I think looks lovely with the length of the dress. Also the high neck gives the illusion of a longer body, which for people my height is never is never a bad thing! -I'm 5ft2" by the way- You can get this stunning dress from Oasis at ASOS.    

This dress would be so perfect for work, sometimes a short dress just isn't acceptable but a maxi dress may be seen as too dressy or too slouchy depending on the style. But with this dress, you are showing an appropriate amount of leg without looking like you're trying too hard. ASOS are doing a good job with midi dresses.

I think that lace looks lovely in black, and especially being on a midi dress! The lace insert on the waist highlights the silhouette as a midi flat can make you look very flat if you have a slim figure. You can get this from Boohoo. 

I just love the casualness of this piece. The colour makes it look like it's completely denim which makes it even cooler! I always think the way that Topshop has styled is brilliant, I'm definitely going to invest in some chunky heeled boots too!

I actually found it quite difficult to find midi dresses online, Primark has some very nice ones, but these have definitely been the best ones that I have seen!

Hope you're all well, beccii.xx

Battle of the Bright Dresses.

For the third part of the trilogy I decided to show you some of my favourite bright/neon dresses. Out of these three trends I definitely think that this one is my favourite! Bright colours just make everybody so happy including me- and just feel genuinely great. So let's get started!

I thought I'd start of with my favourite dress -I think there is going to be a lot of controversy over this, but of some reason I just love it!- The neon green against the black geometric pattern just looks so cool. You could pair this with some simple black heels so you don't detract or over complicate the outfit. On the collar there is some  embellishment, which I'm not really a fan of, but it looks like it could be easily taken off. Check this out at SheInside.

This is such a beautiful yellow, and with the appliqué lace detail it just looks gorgeous!  Ted Baker dresses are almost so lovely so I wasn't surprised to see this one was Ted Baker. This dress would be perfect to wear to any event casual or formal, as It think it sort of falls in-between these two categories of dresses. You  can pick this up from ASOS, it is no longer available from Ted Baker.

I thought I'd show both of these colours as they are both so awesome! The sweetheart neckline with the contrasting neon trim along the neckline and the collar makes the whole dress pop. My favourite one is the blue and the green as I am loving neon green right now! Both of these are available from Boohoo.

Again with neon green! I just can't get enough of it! Midi dresses that have a peplum are my favourite style for them, this is especially good if you are not very happy with your stomach, these will make you feel more comfortable with the tightness of the dress. I would style this exactly like how Missguided have styled it here, it looks very sophisticated a goes with the dress perfectly.

This dress is just beautiful, the lime green flowers -I hope count as neon- but they are just so cute! The rest of the fabric appears to be sheer which is so lovely and just makes the flowers stand out even more. You should definitely check out the dresses on SheInside, as both this dress and the first dress are my favourites and are from here.

Hope you enjoyed the last part of my trilogy!
