Summer is sadly now drawing to a close so I've been trying to wear these as much as I can. Romwe had one of their flash sales about a month ago on these black lace trim shorts and as I had been lusting after a very similar pair from Ark, I decided to snap these up for around £6.
Recently I made a post about my growing love for fresh mint and white clothing. Well, that appears to have spread to my phone accessories now too. After my old case started falling apart (it literally had chunks missing) I decided to go browsing on eBay as iPhone cases are crazy expensive these days.
What I'm Wearing:
Dress // SheInside
Boots // Romwe
Sunglasses // Primark
Necklace // Kukee
Ring // Kukee
Bracelet // Kukee
The dress itself is a nice, lightweight item which will be perfect for Spring and Summer. I think it could be layered up just fine for the colder months too, though. It isn't tightly fitted around the waist but still has definition, so it doesn't look too oversized. There is also a lovely lace-up detail on the back. The leopard print isn't too in-your-face and is actually the first leopard print item of clothing that I own - for that very reason!Despite the crazy pattern, the only bright colours come from Marilyn's lipstick and hair, so the dress is actually quite neutral. I think the dress looks great with my studded boots, but I'm also really excited to break out some sandals to pair with it soon!
P.S. In regards to the dress, the website says both "in stock" & "sold out" on the same page. I linked directly to it anyway, just in case you can still get your hands on it!
What I'm Wearing:
Top // New Look
Shorts // Primark
Blazer // River Island
Shoes // New Look
Necklace // Kukee
At first I was dubious about these, as I have always had a love/hate relationship with the way shorts look on me. They aren't super high waisted, but they are high enough that I like them on me. They are also very short, which I know will turn some people off, but I like this - they make my very small legs look longer. Plus, the pattern and cut is pretty, and I like how the waistline is curved into a subtle V at the front.
Let me know what you think of these shorts, and what you would style them with!

Boots // Topshop
Necklace // New Look
When styling this post I knew I wanted to contrast the pretty, floaty dress with a rougher look, and so went with my black leather jacket and chunky Chelsea boots. I threw on some thigh-high socks - I've been loving wearing these with skirts and dresses recently. Once it's warmer I'll wear them on their own, but now I'm sticking to layering them with either black or skin tone tights. I also wore this big geometric shaped necklace with it. Because the dress is so plain in print and in shape, I wanted to add a statement piece.
I can see myself getting so much wear out of this dress. It's proven to be really versatile and a great transition piece. I can layer it up now, but it will still be loose and lightweight for when the warmer weather gets here! Let me know what you think of it.
The dress itself is black (Will I ever not be wearing black? Probably not) and hangs loose with two layers. It's fairly short but not uncomfortably so, and looks great both dressed up and down. I didn't add any accessories for these photos, because I just wanted to show off the dress with its gorgeous cut out pattern on top. I've never seen anything quite like it, it makes this piece really unique and a little edgy. I can't wait for Summer now, because I know I'll get a lot of use out of this - it's like a sun dress more suited to my style.
The only downside I can think of after wearing this dress is that the cut outs are a little scratchy on the skin. I think it's the way they have been stitched together. I haven't worn the dress for a long length of time yet however, so hopefully it's something that I'm able to get used to - I'm too in love with the design to not wear it!
While the Romwe Cut-out Upper Sleeveless Black Smock Dress isn't at that reduced price anymore, it's still available. If you're looking for a little black dress that can be dressed up or dressed down, I would really recommend this piece. Let me know how you would style it, I'm interested to know!
(Apologies for the cluttered background, and the changing lighting again - the Scottish weather doesn't appreciate the need for natural light in photographs)
Although it's oversized anyway, I can get away with this as a short dress. Here I just wore it with my trusty riding pants featured in this OOTD post. The top itself is a crepe like material, with a lace insert all over the chest area and back. The back drops into a deep-v which I really like, it makes it very unique for my wardrobe. Like most clothes I gravitate towards, this can be worn both casually or dressed up, and flowing or tucked into something. I rolled the sleeves up while taking these photos, but they also look nice untouched, coming to the elbow.
I bought this tunic in Urban Outfitters with a gift card I kindly received for Christmas, and I'm incredibly happy with my purchase! Let me know what you think of it and what you would pair with it!
