What I Wore | Forever 21 Dress
I packed last minute for a weekend at my boyfriends and all I remembered to grab to wear the next day was this dress and sunglasses.
I've really missed wearing summer dresses as I've been living in high-waisted jeans and t-shirts lately (totally obsessed with my Topshop Joni pair). I’d like to wear dresses more but I barely have any, probably because I’m really fussy when it comes to buying them. Annoyingly a lot of dresses from my favourite high-street stores seem to come up quite short on me. I'm only 5'6" but I must have disproportionately long legs! I really love the pattern and halter neck on this Forever 21 dress, and though I would prefer it was a teensy bit longer I decided to buy it anyway.
It was such a lovely weekend this dress was perfect for exploring the gardens of an Estate in Essex. I was wearing it with a slouchy cream blazer but I really didn't need it with the heat so took it off instantly.

I'm 5'6" as well, but my legs are like 75% of my body, LoL, so I have the exact same issue. I don't like to wear a lot of super short dresses, and the hemline on a lot of F21 is higher than I'd like. I actually bought this exact dress online because I really liked the print. Unfortunately when I tried it on, the top part was so big. There was so much extra fabric in the front, so I ended up returning it. It looks really great on you though.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's such a pain isn't it? I wear a lot of my casual dresses to work too, and all my colleagues ever say is that my dresses are too short.
DeleteThe top part of this dress is huge! If I didn't have the elasticated waist I definitely would have had to belt this dress or get a smaller size x
I am 5'5" that's why I mostly sit down in my photos when I don't wear high heels. You are one beautiful woman, Missy! You would look great in anything, but the flats stole the show for me. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nerline, you are so lovely! I always look awkward sitting down sadly, <3 x
DeleteYou look flawless! Love that dress on you and your makeup is so perfect!
