I have been ogling this gorgeous burnt orange dress from Warehouse which is just stunning. It looks like a Victoria Beckham style, if you can remember one of her first collections. Sleeveless, mid calf, pencil skirt, fitted bodice with delicate pleating detail close to the high neck and a stunning, crossover at the back which leaves your mid back to waist level exposed. I've been eyeing it up for days, every time I walked past the shop on my hunt for earrings for the wedding, I'd look longingly at it.
After my coffee-through-a-straw, I wandered a little, I didn't feel too bad, bit of a headache but starting to thaw. After looking around the sales in a few shops, I headed into, "the" shop, and there it was, looking gorgeous.
I had to try it on didn't I? It took a bit of patience getting into it with the crisscrossing going across the back, had my hand through the wrong hole a couple of times. When I did get it on, adjusted and smoothed down. Wow.
Before you get excited, it didn't quite fit, it wasn't too far off but my bum was just too big for the pencil skirt, only just too big I should add and what didn't enhance it was the fact that I was wearing lace kickers, so I additionally looked like I had the worst, cellulite ridden backside you've ever seen in your life. (Desperately wanted to explain orange peel effect to shop assistant but decided against it in the end and tried not to turn all the way around while I was looking at myself in the mirror.)
If I lost a few lbs and wore the right underwear, it would look amazing, I may end up getting it just to admire and not even wear... ever. That would be just fine, it's so gorgeous.
