Dress - Glamorous (at House of Fraser)
Shoes - Converse
Bracelet and ring - eBay
I went sales shopping in Exeter, which was actually shamefully unsuccessful until I popped into House of Fraser. The brands they stock seem to be ever-changing, so I headed in for a peek. To my delight there were several new brands stocked in the branch, including Vero Moda (Alexa Chung makes me want to buy everything I've seen her in their ads!) and Glamorous (- dresses and skirts muddled into racks of TNFC dresses and the like!).
The dress I picked up wasn't really 'me' as such. It's very girly and well cut - things I seem to avoid! But as I've been on the hunt for a dress with the cut-out-side feature at a reasonable price for weeks now, I thought I may as well try it on - at £16 (was £32) and the last in my size it was all too perfect! The fit was just right and it seemed appropriate for wearing as a day dress or going out in too. Needless to say I bought it! Trying it on again today for these photos I'm growing to like the print more and I've noticed how it disguises my belly (probably the result of indulging in too much ice-cream and food in general on holiday...) perfectly due to the clever cut.
I haven't been able to find it on the Glamorous website, but they still have sizes 8-14 in stock (although very limited) on the House of Fraser website! There's tons more Glamorous items in the sale too for amazing prices.
A quick note to
say thanks again to my guest bloggers and thank you all for your comments! I
had a great holiday - I assure you I did go... my lack of tan is a result of my
deathly pale skin and cautious application of plenty of high factor sun cream!

I never tan when I go away either, always apply so much sun tan lotion! This dress is so cute, love it teamed with the denim jacket x
