It's mustard love

Today's outfit was one i wore out to lunch with the hubby, both the dress and cardigan are new and i couldn't wait to wear them.


Dress new look, Cardigan matalan, Brooch handmade

The dress is from New look i got it about 2 months ago but hadn't worn it yet. It was £22.99 and a size 22, the fit of this dress is perfect! It is knee length and is lined with the bird print chiffon over the top, it has a nice floaty effect and an elasticised waist with a belt too. The dress is sleeveless so great for the summer but with my cosy cardigan over the top it still works with the cooler weather.

I wore my over sized bow headband to keep my hair in place, and my new Matalan cardigan. I really love this cardigan, i wanted a mustard cardigan and was happy when i spotted this is Matalan in was the last one left and a size 20 so it was fate!

The cardigan was £20 and a size 20 it fits me perfectly and i can fasten it all the way up too. It's quite a chunky knit so it keeps you really tasty and warm.

I really love these two pieces together and i can see me getting a lot more wear out of the cardigan over the next few months and then the dress again in the summer too. 
Have you bought anything recently ?

Excited in excite

As i said in my plus north post i was lucky enough to meet some of the excite clothing team, they were really nice and very happy to chat. In our goodie bags we got a discount code for 20% off and i knew straight away what i was going to buy. I had my eye on this dress but by the time i got home it was out of stock in my size. As you know from previous posts i love leopard print and had already picked this dress out as a winner, so i added it to my basket and was super excited for it to come.
I ordered the dress on sunday night and by tuesday it was here, i'd not picked express delivery just the uk saver which was a complete bargain at £1.95. I couldn't believe it came so quickly, i tried it on straight away and the fit for me was great. I sized up to a 24 and i needed to, so if you are planning to order i would size up one or two sizes if you can depending on material and the fit you want.
The dress was £25 for with the discount it came to £20 which is a really great price!
So here is it on




I love how swirly this dress is !


I wore the dress out to dinner with a cardigan in case it was chilly in the restaurant and a giant bow headband that i found tidying my dressing room but i have no idea where its from sorry!
I really love this dress its really comfy and comes with a detachable silky ribbon to bring it in at the waist. The bottom half of the dress has two layers to add to the swirly effect, I'm 5 4'' and the dress was short on me not so short that you couldn't wear it with bare legs or tights but if you are taller or like a longer cut dress then bare this in mind.
If you can't already tell i love the dress and the service from excite was great so what are you waiting for have a look at their website but make sure you leave some of the pretty dresses for me!
XOXO
