Pretty Prints - a #PSOOTD from Scarlett & Jo at Evans featuring their 2 in 1 Floral Prom Dress

When Scarlett & Jo released their Spring Romance Collection for Evans earlier this year, I absolutely fell in love with this floral print prom dress. It's shape really ticked all of my vintage loving style points, whilst the design was perfect for my high waist and larger bust.

I was all set to buy it, but it quickly sold out in my size and I was left heart broken. Ever since, I've kept an eye open for it on blog sales and eBay and was over the moon to purchase it brand new with tags for a fraction of the price. The best things really are worth waiting for!

Dress: Scarlett & Jo at Evans

Flower in hair: Pearls & Swine

Leggings: F&F True

Necklace: Tatty Devine

Bracelet: Vintage

Shoes: Vintage

The dress was a size smaller than what I'd usually buy, but there was no way I was letting this beauty slip away! Luckily the top half is very stretchy, and the wide elasticated band at the waist really nips you in for an hourglass silhouette which is even further exaggerated by the attached underskirt and net petticoat.

Even though Winter is just around the corner, I fully intend to rock this Spring dream as much as I can, teaming it with tights, ankle boots and cardigans. It's one of those dresses which really walks the line between day and evening wear with ease. The fabric is cosy and comfy to wear, but the frou-frou nature of the skirt makes it feel equally dressy.

It took me a while to realise what the 2-in-1 nature of the 50s style prom dress was, but it's clever design allows you to embrace your inner Bardot and wear the dress in an off-the-shoulder fashion.

Whilst this particular design is no longer available, there is a similar Scarlett & Jo dress in the Evans sale here.

Until next time,

Push The Button - ASOS Curve Green Skater Dress With Gold Buttons

That one time we had a Summer (hey, remember that?), I found myself in need of some everyday dresses which I could stay cooler in whilst shooting. The ASOS Curve Green Skater Dress With Gold Buttons was exactly what I had been after, so when I saw it in the sale I just had to get it.

ASOS Curve Green Skater Dress With Gold Buttons.

I completely fell in love with the dress the second I tried it on. Whilst it's not in my usual vintage / repro style, the dress is soft, comfy and has two large pockets perfect for holding spare memory cards and flash guns. It's one of those dresses which is easily teamed with basics such as leggings and ballet flats and one which I know come Autumn, I'll be able to grunge up with boyfriend cardigans and smoky eyes. It has a slight dropped waist and is generously sized. I was worried that my normal size wouldn't accommodate my k-cup bust due to the buttons, but if anything I probably could have sized down.

Dress: ASOS Curve.

Leggings: F&F.

Necklace: Bete Noire.

Hat: Thrifted.

This has become my go-to dress when shooting on location as it's easy to move in and the pockets are deep and functional. Plus green is such a good colour, and one which I really need more of in my wardrobe!

Until next time,
