keep or return: george polka dot playsuit

Labels:


playsuit: george @ asda (£12)

Shopping outside the box really does come up good occasionally, For those who aren't from the UK, Asda is pretty much one of those massive supermarket stores that sells everything. Its actually owned by Walmart for those Americans who follow. Id totally recommend checking out all the supermarket clothing or even just checking out their websites if you don't live near the larger stores. I'm totally impressed with the stuff from Clothing at Tesco & George at Asda

I'd actually popped into Asda to get the Cat Print Limited Edition Playsuit, But they didn't have any in stock, So while rummaging around waiting for my Mum to finish off the food shop. I saw this awesome polka dot playsuit. It actually reminds me of one of those 1950's swimsuits! I feel like a proper pin up girl in it! This play-suit SO isn't my normal style but it was too cute just to pass up on. I dont remember the last time (if ever!) I wore a halterneck style. It would have been just to perfect for my holiday if I'd have bought it earlier!

What do you guys think? Not my normal style, but I'm sure if I styled it up it would look more me. Would you wear something like this or is it just totally wrong? Let me know your opinions in the comments!

  2. I love it, I think it really suits your skin tone and your figure, it's really lovely and it'd go great with a denim jacket if we get any more hot weather over here.xx

  3. This is one cute play suit, before you even mentioned 50s swimsuit I was thinking that too! I think it's much nicer than the cat print one too. A great buy =)

    It looks gorgeous on you & in my opinion is definitely a keeper!

    I've got quite a lot from Asda in the past - I've worn a couple of things this week that have been from Asda, & had some lovely comments about them - people are always so surprised when I say that's where they're from..!

  11. i love the colour on you and the dots but it looks like the playsuit doesnt fit perfectly at the breastarea. i´m sorry but i would say "return".

  12. I tried this on! And really liked it, but I wished it wasn't that clingy jersy because it just did nothing for me, especially if I was wearing tights which I'd probably have to. It looks fab though :)

    haha, sorry got excited by that. keep it! I've noticed that after a wash, the fabric loosens a bit. but other than that it is great, perfect for summer. keep!

  30. I say keep. You'll wear it for the next couple months whilst it's hot and then when winter comes it would look cute with tights and chunky sweater.

    LOVE the colours - they really pop. You look so gorgeous and tanned!

  31. Love it.
    Makes your figure look sensational.
    Really classic and feminine looking, the 50's have always been one of my favourites.

  34. i'm not sure about this one. i love the pattern and the halter neck, but it seems hard to wear.

  35. Keep it!
    The colour & cut are gorgeous on you and if you don't have anything in this style / look all the more reason to keep it!

  42. LOVE IT! I think it is even cuter than the cat print one- it is really lovely :)

    ReplyDelete

  44. TOO CUTE! Love love love it. Keeper!

  45. I'd definitely keep it! From reading your blog I get what you mean about it not being your usual style, but sometimes it's good to experiment, and I think it really suits you!
    Pplus it's an absolute steal, I really love tesco clothes, I've had some basic tshirts from there that have both fitted better and lasted much longer than ones from high street shops like topshop and new look! not checked out asda clothes though, so that will definitely be my next port of call :D x

  46. oh my god, keep! or send it to me, haha (:

    ReplyDelete

  47. I love it! The color is gorgeous and you look adorable in it. And I say who cares if its not your "style", if you like it that should be all that matters. You should never feel confined to one aesthetic. explore different styles! :)
