05.08.12 :: I don’t like Maths…

 but I love this @Topshop Geometric Print Bodycon Dress & @tightsplease @RedOrDeadLondon #Elizabeth Backseam Tights, with @Hidelabel Leather Biker Jacket look.

I’ve had my eye on this dress for quite some time being a frequently peruser of the Topshop iPhone app. It’s great when you’ve nothing better to do, or perhaps just fancy a little procrastination. Have a look at their ‘New In’ section and see what your life’s missing. It works for me! Great for assessing what you already own that it similar or what

YOU REALLY WANT NEED TO BUY!

Anyway, I spotted this gorgeous, £36, Geometric Print Blue Bodycon dress online and thought: “Yep! That’ll do me.”

I’m 5ft 6”, so not short, but not catwalk-model-with-lean-limbs-tall, for a girl. I have more than ample *she groans* boobs, a bum and legs that aren’t quite as long as I’d wished for…

However, to make the most of these given ‘assets’, I like to dress them accordingly. I know that this style of dress, figure-hugging, long-sleeved, round-necked and midi-length is one that time and time again I return to. It’s one of those styles that makes me feel good. It hides my sometimes (more-often-than-not) dimpled thighs and by finishing at the knee, only shows the slimmer part of my legs, and still cuts in at the waist, with the help of strategically placed stripes, to make you feel all girly and sexy. 

The Geometric Print is one that I’ve *never played around with before… (*However, saying that… my mum used to dress me in some crazy things… so I might be taking that comment back!) So I thought I’d give it a whirl! It’s a playful print, I’ll give you that!

I decided to layer up my look with a pair of Red or Dead London, Elizabeth, Tights from TighstPlease, £12.99 - FREE UK Delivery, they have a lovely floral detail on the calf and a (sexy as hell!) backseam. I also pulled on my @VeroModaUK Black fine-knit gold sequin jumper that I bought in AW11 and then topped the look off with my was Swagga And Soul now known as Hide Label, Daisy Biker Jacket from YBD Fashion, (Young British Designers). Adorned with an array of gold bangles, a gold cuff, turquoise beaded cross/ crucifix bracelet and turquoise drop earrings and my old Primark Suede Lace-Up Black Rubber Sole Wedges.

Et voila!
