Spotty skunk love

I wore this to work last week it's a lot nicer than the dresses i usually wear but i'd not worn it yet and i was eager to show off my new AMAZING kissing skunk brooch which goes perfectly with the dress. I bought this dress on one of my many recent shopping trips. It was in the sale at H&M for a purse friendly £10, it's original price was £29.99 and for such a great dress i would have paid the full price. I got the in a 2xl I'm afraid i have no idea how this translates into numbered sizing but I'm a 22 and i love the fit on me. The dress is made from a jersey material so does have a fair bit of stretch and has 2 layers to it so it'll be perfect for winter too.


The dress has a really nice detail on the side where the material is bunched up, unfortunately i couldn't get this to show up in pictures. The dress was so comfy and it's a great length on me meaning i don't have to wear tights. The cross front covers well but can easily be placed to show off more flesh if required.

I wore the dress with black pumps from primark £5 and my new brooch. Words cannot describe how much i love this brooch, i really love skunks and loved reading and watching Bambi as a child (many a tear has been shed! ) So when i saw Rowan from Kitchen sink tweet that her one of a kind Bambi jewellery was up for sale i headed straight to the site to have a look. As soon as i saw this brooch i added it to my basket and went in search of my bank card. The brooch is made using pictures from an old Bambi story book and there all one of a kind so no one else will have the same piece as you. The brooch was £19 which is the most I've ever paid for jewellery for myself but how could i say no?!

    I honestly could not love that cute as a button brooch more! It's adorable! Congratulations on finding such a unique piece of jewellery. Totally worth the money. I've bookmarked the site in case something similar pops up- although I'm tempted by the thumper and bambi versions.(Skint til payday though).

    The dress looks amazing on you. Such a lovely shape, and what a bargain! I love the neckline and the hour glass shape it gives you! xx

    Lovely dress, sadly I rarely find anything bigger than a 14 in my two local H&M's and the staff are normally so rude anyhow that I avoid going in. LOVE that brooch to pieces, also love skunks : ) Plus how cute are your meerkats in the background?

      The + section in the one near me was really good but a few people have said they have issues with the staff being rude and unhelpful. I love skunks so much too I always love seeing them at the zoo xx
