Twice as Nice

This is the 3rd twice as nice that i have done with the lovely Lollylikes this time we bring you the Clements Ribeiro floral border dress. Twice as nice gives you the chance to see the same dress on two different body shapes and sizes.
I was lucky enough to be given the dress as a Christmas present from my lovely hubby, i had wanted it for a while but i couldn't afford it at full price which was £65. It went down into the sale just before Christmas to £30 so he bought it for me.

This dress is still available online here in a few sizes. I went for a size 20 in this which is a size down from my usual but i think it gives the dress a more fitted look which i love. If you fancy getting yourself  this dress i would suggest to size down i also think that sizing down will help the dress keep its shape as you wash and wear it more. The material is stretchy but still quite thick and the dress comes down to my knee so its a great length on me. 

This dress has the most amazing print which stops mid thigh and then changes to a plain black. I'm really glad i got this dress for Christmas and i can see it getting lots of wear over the winter and summer months.

I wore this with my 100 denier tights as its cold and frosty out, my earrings and headscarf and shoes are all from Primark. This dress is really simple but i think that's what makes it stand out and i felt really great wearing it.

So that's my take on this lovely dress head over to see Lollylikes and how she's wearing it.

Did you get any of the Clements Ribeiro items in the sale?

XOXO

Twice as nice but thirds a charm!

If you saw my sales post last week then you have already had a sneak peak of this dress. It was from Very in the sale for £10.50 which was a bargain! I had tweeted about it and Lisa said she was going to order it too but by the time she tried it had gone out of stock. I was having a browse on the Very site and saw it was back in stock so tweeted her to let her know being the shopping enabler that i am. Not only did Lisa order it but so did Lollylikes so today you don't just get to see it on 2 lovely ladies but 3!

So here is me in the dress 

I wore this to go out shopping with my hubby and i can honestly say it's a really comfy dress. I wore it with my furry New Look cardigan size 22, purple tights and a primark headscarf. When i bought the dress i wasn't sure on how much stretch it would have so i went for a 24 as in the past I've found i needed to size up at Very but i really didn't need to.

This dress is true to size so just buy your usual size if your going to buy it. The sleeves have plenty of room for me and there is plenty of boob room due to me sizing up. The main reason i added this to my basket on Very was the cute print which i really love and i think it looks great with the purple tights.

I'd recommend this dress, not only is its bargain price but it will see you through to summer and will be perfect for lazy summer weekends.

That how i wore mine now pop over to see how the lovely ladies Lollylikes and Lisa styled their dress.

I'm off to the fat swap tomorrow will i see any of you there?

XOXO
