ASOS Haul

[Post edited on 5th July to make it easier to read/match the photo's to the writing]

As promised: here is my ASOS haul. Sorry the picture's aren't great, crap camera, crap photographer, crap model, crap lighting, crap mirror, crap location (love you really penny palace!)

So I got:

2 'party' dresses for the wedding (10th July argh!!!)
2 work dresses
2 black skirts for work

PHOTO 1 [below]

Photo 1 is of the two 'party' dresses. As you can see by the way i've laid them out for photo-time I am not in love with them. At all. The mink one is almost gorgeous but (when worn) it was so unlike the photo on the website I'm almost thinking it's a defect item.

The photo below show's me wearing it, looks all right doesn't it? Looks like the way the model on the website is wearing it. Well, take a look at the photo 3. What the F*CK is that?! It's like I've got a bloody poncho tent on :( So I would look ok standing in a pose, but if I was to move my arm I could catch large wildebeast in the extra material FFS. I paid £45 for this (i will be returning it) - if they changed the shape of the dress they could just charge £25!

I tried to take a pic of me wearing the pink dress (£32) but after 13424245 tries I gave up, it doesn't photo well, probably because it looks awful on. I actually quite liked it; a simple shape, nice block colour and frills, totally my thing, but then when i tried it on for my mum her facial expression told me that I should never be seen wearing that. Didn't help that the pink (kinda a flamingo pink) totally clashed with my neon orange skintone!!!!! The material was also very flimsy and, well, for want of a better word, it was a bit plastic! Stay away from open flames lol

So photo 4 is a terrible pic of the two skirts I got, both pencil skirts, one in a standard material and one is linen. Not sure whether I am exchanging them for a bigger size or returning them....

Next we have one of the black dresses (photo 5 and 6). I love wearing dresses to work because you can just chuck them on without having to find matching items, and i don't wear jewelry so I don't even have to bother accessorising. I'm not overly keen on dress 6 (but i like that it covers my arms and is just about knee length so ok bare legged, and it's got pockets for my vaseline) but I'm definitely keeping it because I think a black work dress is always handy to have in the wardrobe, especially when you're my size and it's not easy to buy stuff off the rack.

Finally, my absolute favourite out of the stuff I ordered, and my now most favourite item of work clothing in my wardrobe (actually, i think it's my favourite thing full stop!)

This dress is a dress you can chuck on and feel like a million dollars in. It's simple and plain but the shape speaks for itself. I got so many compliments wearing it today that I'm currently on ASOS thinking of buying another one. I am a firm believer that if you find something you like, buy it, and it you love it, buy as many as you can afford!!

I think one of my next posts will be about ASOS and about the Curve range, so please come back soon to have a read :)
