Velour dress

This is a kind of 'outfit-of-the-night-two-days-late' post since I wore this dress to a party on saturday evening. I decided against heels (way too painful!) and the pearls are merely there to cover a drink stain I managed to acquire during the night (the photos were taken afterwards) but the dress was definitely a great choice for the evening. I bought it on ebay (seems to be a continual theme on my blog) for only £5. The surface of the dress doesn't come out very clearly in these photos but it's slightly sparkly and has a really nice velvet-y texture. I definitely think ebay is the best place to buy going out dresses as there's such a huge choice and so cheap!

How was your weekend? What do you think of my dress?

Party dress wish list

I visited Kingston University today to find out about their foundation course. It's definitely somewhere I'd like to study but it's so competitive only 10% of those who apply for the course actually receive a place so I'm not holding out too much hope! On another note, I've been buying quite a few things on ebay recently which I'll be sure to show you at some point in future outfit posts.  

As it's coming up to Christmas and the party season is getting closer, I thought I'd pick out some of the dresses I'd love to own this winter. My friend's having a Gatsby themed 18th party so I've been browsing ebay for cheap finds (let me know if you spot anything!) and have been lusting over a few other dresses on there as well. Anyway, for full price/ridiculously expensive outfits, here are my picks....
