Stained glass dress...

This dress is somewhat of a blogger favourite, Sarah wore it first back in November (and I loved it then) then when Alex posted about it at the end of January and it was in the sale, I caved. It is such a gorgeous dress and as well as getting so many nice comments about it (both online and off!), I know at least 3 people who bought it as a result of me being so excited about it. There's a stained glass dress wearing army out there! ;) I took Alex's advice and sized down a couple of sizes and it fits perfectly. I have avoided smocks up till now as I was worried about looking like a sack of potatoes but I will definitely be trying more (there's something I never thought I would be saying!) I'm not sure why I look so confused/grumpy in these photos, as I was super smiley for the whole day, perhaps it's the 5.00 am starts?!   

Cardigan: Gap via Matilda, dress: ASOS, tights: Tesco, shoes: Clarks
A better look at that amazing stained glass print! I love unusual patterns and this is my favourite so far. Being raised a Catholic meant I spent a lot of time in churches growing up, so this is an oddly comforting sight for me. I could probably even make a guess at which saints are featured but I'm not that sad ;) You know that I love the colour red but I really wish I had a purple cardigan to go with this dress! Weirdly I don't have that much purple in my wardrobe and this cardigan just didn't look right, I think I need to track down more Cadbury purple for my wardrobe!


The look of love! I love the little sleeves on this dress (they make it way more work appropriate) and it is made of a gorgeous heavy jersey so is super flattering too. This fits just like a skater dress as I have sized down. Not bad for a mere £14 eh?! It is still available in a few sizes AND you can get it with am extra 20% off here with the code 20MORE, go go go! 


What unusual prints have you got in your wardrobe?

I LOVE unusual prints and colourways - I tend to stick to florals but I've just bought a vintage dress that has a wood grain pattern on it, which is prettier than it sounds!

It's absolutely gorgeous! Such an unusual print & I'm not surprised you've inspired a few others to get it too!
I am trying so hard to be good with that 20% off sale code... It's so tempting! Hah.

There's definitely a stained glass army out there! I know a few people have bought it as a result of me banging on about it and Sarah talked loads of us into it as well :D

I'm kinda tempted to get a backup version of it...

This is so pretty! Reminds me of my favourite church in Paris, I am not religious but their art is unparalleled! This does fit you beautifully as well. You had nothing to worry about on that front!

The print is incredible! So pretty on you and i think you should def look into more smocks! brands always seem to take photos of models in such oversized ones but this looks a dream fit x x
