timeless.

(ASOS dress, Sportsgirl sandels, Topshop jacket)

This is my new favourite dress and of course it is from Asos. As most of you would know, I am totally obsessed with Asos so it's pretty fitting that my favourite dress is from there. It came in the post yesterday and I literally haven't taken it off. I wore it to meet up with Megan yesterday (you can see photos here) and I wore it again today for a little photo shoot and to get a yummy ice cream while walking around the lake with George. 

I am so happy I bit the bullet and purchased this gorgeous dress. I was pretty hesitant at first, wondering weather it would suit me/if I would be too short for it/did I need it? But impulse won out and I hit the "purchase" button. So happy with my decision. This dress makes me feel like a princess when I swirl around in it, or like I have stepped in a time machine and gone back to the 50's. It's amazing.

So, on Monday I started the first day of my shopping diet. You don't even want to know how long I am challenging myself to, but I will tell you anyway...27th May! I can't buy a new piece of clothing until then, or any accessories, or any shoes. It is going to be tough but it is for a good cause of saving for Sydney to be able to shop, etc. when George and I are there. I decided on 27th May because as I said in my last post, thats when George finishes his exams which will obviously call for a shopping celebration. 

You will have to bare with me while I am attempting this shopping challenge as I will still be doing an outfit post per week, however, I feel they will become pretty repetitive haha. I will have to bring my "creative side" into it. It's lucky I have purchased a few other things along with this dress to help the time go quicker. And then once the challenge is over, I will be looking for more perfectly timeless pieces, just like this dress. 

P.S Some exciting little news...I just made a Facebook page for The Littlest Things, so go on over and "Like" it here, if you want :)

  12. Beautiful dress. I love 50s style clothing, although this blends seamlessly into present day.

    I've been on a shopping diet since I married my husband, I kid... kinda. I've learned to go months without buying a single thing. It's a fun challenge. Makes me very giddy when I do get to go shopping!
