So! Something a little different on the blog today! It's not every day that you get to glam up, but I won this BEAUTIFUL grey dress at the Quiz Valentines event (way back in Feb!) and I knew that I wanted to show it you guys! So rather than waiting for a super glam occasion, I picked this stunning location to rock my frock! Yeah, I just said frock. I'm so cool.
This dress is just goooorgeous. The bodice is beautifully embellished and the skirt is really full with a lovely chiffon overlayer. This would be the perfect dress for any prom or wedding. Tip for any Brides to Be: At £70, you could totally kit out all your Bridesmaids in this - it's quite flattering, plus the high waist band and elasticated back will mean that your ladies won't have to wear spank or struggle through your wedding dinner due to a tight dress. Just sayin!
Anyways, onto my outfit! As this is me, I couldn't just wear the dress as it's pretty formal. I wanted to funk it up with a leather jacket, shades and a chunky ring. As the dress is quite long on little 5ft 3 me, I also added some killer heels (not that you can really see!)
Accessories - Chunky Black Ring: Primark, Sunglasses: Topshop, Clutch Bag: Warehouse* Bracelet: Chrysalis at Burns Jewellers*
I love this bangle. Not only do the colours go perfectly with this dress, but each bangle in the Chrysalis range has a meaning behind it. Mine has the Tree of Life engraved on the silver plaque which represents growth and prosperity!
This Rose Gold Daydream watch by Folli Follie* is the perfect addition to this outfit. The colour of the gold complements the dress so well and the diamond face adds just the right amount of bling!
If you're looking for something glam, then definitely check out Quiz's dresses. They have a range of glam stuff and they're all really reasonably priced (I think £70 is a bargain for this!).
Do you have any formal occasions, Weddings or Proms that you are going to this year?
