Pretty in Prints!

I really love printed dresses and blouses especially if they're bold and bright!
Here are a few of the printed dresses I have bought over the last few months.


1) Primark at ASOS.com. This dress has a lovely print, but has an open back near the waistline, which I don't mind too much, but I would prefer it not to be open at the back. I have so many dresses and tops recently in lovely prints or designs, but then they have cut out sides or a cut out front, which makes them a lot less wearable.
I think I can get away with this one though. a picture of the back is shown below. This was my first purchase from ASOS's range of Primark clothing and I am pretty pleased with it. It cost me £13.00, but is now in the sale for £9.00.




2) This bright yellow dress was also from ASOS. It is a flattering shape and I love the contrast between the yellow of the dress and the print.
This is currently on sale for £17.50 reduced from £25.00.

3) I got this bright yellow printed dress from Topshop for £36.00. I love the bold and bright print. I saw it in Topshop one day and I thought to myself 'I know I'm going to end up coming back for this dress' and sure enough I was.
It is described as having a ladder back as shown below. I have found that the ladder aligns with my bra strap and covers it up perfectly, which I was pleased about.




4) I love this dress. I bought it from Topshop for £42.00. It is my favourite of the six. It is such a bright, bold print and it has such a lovely, flattering shape. I always receive compliments when I wear it. Not long after I bought it I saw Holly Willoughby wearing it on TV, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but it won't put me off wearing it.
The zip is right up the back, which can be fiddly to do up, but it is doable.

5) I bought this aztec print dress on Boohoo.com. I hadn't been on the website for ages even though I used it a lot when I first discovered it. I managed to find a few things I wanted at good prices. This dress is currently in the sale for £12.00 reduced from £20.00.
This dress has a crossover back as shown below. I really love the print on it.




6) Another ASOS.com purchase, this dress has a lovely floral print. It is currently £15.50 in the sale reduced from £38.00.
It has a lace up back, which is not a design I care for. I don't think it adds any interest to the dress, but it isn't too much for me to put up with.

More Irregular Choice shoes on my want list!

A few more shoes from my Irregular Choice want list!






Oz Bow Glitter Courts were a Christmas release. They are a lovely shape and they have sparkly tinsel attached and a gorgeous green Perspex heel. I really want them!

Kim Oh No are stunning. I love polka dots and they look great against the bright blue. These are quite high with a little platform and peep toe. They're really cute.

Cortesan Sali Floral are a pair I have had my eye on for a while. The gold and purple busy floral design is really detailed and looks great. I have another pair of Irregular Choice shoes with the same gold and purple floral pattern and I love those too.
I love the little purple bow on the side, but I'm not a huge fan of the big bows on the back. It won't put me off buying them though!

Get It On are cute and summery. I love all of the different fabrics used and the ice cream heel is a really fun idea.

Oz are another great design. I love the blue woven fabric and the navy bow is mega cute. The Perspex heel is a lovely deep blue colour. These are perfect for me. I really want them.

The Cortesan Chocolate Courts are another pair that I have wanted for a while. I love the sparkling bronze colour and the little chocolate and cream ornaments on the front are tempting and fun.

I have wanted Bloxy for a while, but couldn't decide on which colour to buy. These 'red' ones are quite a new design and I think they're the colour for me. I love the polka dots and the busy design on the bow, back and strap.

Toodle Loo are another pair I have wanted for a while. I love the green, pink and blue print and the pretty pompom on the front, but most of all I love the curved heels on these shoes. They're stunning.

I also love the version of Toodle Loo in white with large red heart print and a big red bow on the front instead of a pompom. This version also have the beautiful curved heel.

Mayhem are a bit of a wacky pair, but I think they look fabulous. There is red fur on the heel and platform and they have a cute round toe and a silver fabric feather design going up the side and then actual pink and black feathers around the top. These are guaranteed to get you noticed and I don't think they're too wild for me.

I love Smooch. I have them in 3 other colours already, but really want them with the ice cream print. The print is really cute and so is the sundae ornament attached to the front. I love ice cream and I love shoes and these are really pretty so this is the pair I want the most out of them all.

No Place Like Home are gorgeous shoes reminiscent of Dorothy's shoes from The Wizard Of Oz. They are really sparkly with a matching sparkly bow and a pretty, red, Perspex heel.
