Dresses I Have Been Loving at the Moment!

With attending several parties this month and having my year 13 prom last week, I have been wearing more dresses then ever! So I thought I'd share some of the dresses I have been wearing and loving with where I wore them and what accessories I paired them with.

So this is a plain plum coloured dress I brought from Topshop that is fitted at the waist and comes just above my knees. I love this dress because you can dress it up with some heels or wear it casually with some brogues or ankle boots.
 I recently wore this dress to go to watch 'Three Phantoms' at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham. I wore it with black tights and black dolly shoes.
For accessories, I wore it with a small heart necklace from Dorothy Perkins, a collection of gold and pink bracelets and some ball-shaped earrings from Forever 21.
Make-up wise, I created a purple smokey eye which is written in more detail in 'My Concert Look' post :) (http://justaldreamer.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/my-concert-look-featuring-purple-smokey.html)

This next dress is one I wore for a bin bag fancy dress party. It is from New Look and has a fitted, corset-like bodice and skirt with POCKETS! (Don't you love it when you discover secret pockets in your clothes!) The floral design made this look feel summery and fun. I teamed it with blue heels from New Look.
(Note: I put my own twist on the bin bag theme by creating fairy wings from twigs and a blue bin bag and plaited bin bags together to create my head piece and wing straps.)
My make-up was quite natural however I used glittery eye-liner to go with my 'fairy' look.




Okay so I know this outfit is not technically a dress however I still think it is super cute! The lace top and floral skirt are both from New Look. I paired it with nude coloured dolly shoes and pink flower earrings. I kept my make-up looking fresh with a light brown smokey eye and natural coloured lips. This look was perfect for a birthday meal with all my friends and kept me feeling girly and cool in the summer season!

 

This next dress is from Dorothy Perkins and I wore is to an 18th birthday party this month. I teamed it with black heels from Dorothy Perkins and a gold coloured clutch to match my gold jewellery and eye shadow. This dress also had pockets and it was a great find as it was in the sale!

 I wore this dress for my boyfriend's birthday party. I purchased it from a boutique called 'The Wardrobe'. It is a nude dress with a thin black netted material over the top with gold flowers embroidered on. The bottom is black lace and it is elasticated at the waist. The dress made me feel very sophisticated and I love it because it is very girly!
I paired it with a black clutch that I found in a charity shop and black heels from Dorothy Perkins.

I kept my make-up simple with a gold shimmer over the lids and black flicks. I pinned one side of my hair back with a gold feather shaped clip from 'Accessorise'.
For jewellery, I wore gold dangly earrings which my mother gave me and a heart shaped necklace.








And now from my prom dress (drum roll please!) The theme for my year 13 'Leaver's Ball' was 'Casino Royal'. I chose to wear a short dress because I wore I long one for my year 11 prom so I wanted something different. This dress is from 'The Wardrobe' and is a halter neck which flatters my pear-shaped body as it makes my shoulders match the width of my hips (making my body look as if it is hour-glass shaped). The black skirt has wire along the trim giving it more movement. The blue in the bodice helped to bring out my blue eyes and complimented my light skin tone. I paired it with a black clutch and heels and a light grey and black smokey-eye with hints of navy blue.



So that concludes my 'Dresses I have been loving' post! If there is an outfit you particularly love, I would love to hear about it in the comments below!
