mustard scarf

Labels:



shorts: H&M
blazer: topshop
scarf: zara
necklace: zara taylor

You may have seen this before... I was naughty and too these photos yesterday, I didn't know what time I'd get home today so thought I'd be prepared for a change! Instead I was home sipping a cuppa by 4pm, which is a rarity at the moment! These photos make me realize how much I need a new lens for my camera, I really hate the quality of them! I'm never going to be satisfied! I have asked Father Christmas, But I think I'll probs run out of patience in the run up to Christmas and buy myself one next payday!

Motel Rocks sent me a little package this week with a few other dresses to show and style up! This dress is one of the ones I picked, It makes my waist look small (good) but my hips big (bad!) Despite this I do really love the shape, Even if it does make my hips look much wider than they are, Its nice to have a dress fit me so well for a change. I got this in a size M, which is supposed to be a Size 12, But its very fitted on me, So I'd say size up if you were thinking of getting it too! And at 5ft 5, It was scandalously short on me hence the shorts, So I wouldn't expect it to be a dress on anyone taller than me! Motel has free delivery and free returns (Always a plus in my book! Free shipping junkie!) and their selection of day and nightwear is really great! I like it when shops do dresses in the same fabrics/prints but in different styles! H&M does this well too, There is nothing worse than seeing a dress made out of a lovely pattern to try it on and the shape be totally wrong for you!

Had massive problems with canceling my car insurance today, I had a massive rant at this poor bloke, which I feel really bad about now, But my insurance company are just so rubbish! Someone made a claim against me, which I'm contesting, but despite sending off the forms and whatnot I haven't heard anything back from them. Upon asking how long it would take, the man replied 5 years max! I was like "YOUR KIDDING RIGHT! BLAHBLAHBLAH", So yeah, Now I have to pay my full car insurance and I cant even say I've got no claims as there's a claim going on at the moment. Majorly pissed off as its going to cost me like a £1000 this year, and thats using a comparison website! I'm probably going to go to the gym tonight, Despite the fact my chest is aching and my nose is running like mad! Me and my bezzie, Greg, shared a packet of Cold/Flu medicine today, Which seemed to ease my pain a bit, But I'm feeling very lethargic tonight! I think a little session at the gym will re-energize me, or at least make up for the fact I ate a 12 inch chicken tikka subway with extra cheese! My bad!

  4. For a living i work in Motor Claims and that doesn't make sense with the company saying 5 years ... 5 years is how long a claim stays on your file for, but if your contesting it they should speed things up at your end. I'd ring your insurance company again and speak to someone else! (hope this helps)

    Love your dress!

  6. Woah, car insurance is a right pain in the ass. My brother had some major problems with his last month.

    I love that Motel dress, but being somewhat tall (5"8 so not a giant) I find their dresses really really short! And big hips?! What hips lily? You look fab.

  7. I love how you've styled your hair and the scarf is gorgeous, loving the thick chunky knits on the high street atm!

  8. I ate a 12 inch today n all, don't feel bad. The dress is lovely, never heard of Motel, will check them out. I know what you mean about the dress for night and day though, shape is everything. Me being 5'11, maybe I should look for something longer? Xxx

  11. Lilly I absolutely love this outfit on you!

    I've spied a few motel dresses that I like but like you say, they all look dead short and I'm about 5ft 7 so I've never ordered anything incase I get done for exposure or something.

    I think the quality of the first two is amazing! I seriously love them. I always ask for things for chritmas and then end up getting them myself cos I don't wanna wait.

  12. I love this dress, it's really pretty and bright without being too in your face!
    Recently discovered your blog and I'm loving it! I just started blogging myself :)

  16. Oooooh how gorgeous! I really love dresses shaped like that, although as you say they can sometimes make hips look wider (not in your case!) I love the fact they hide any of my bumpy tummy bits! hehe

  34. Your hair looks lovely in this with the fringe kind of pinned back! Really love the colour of your scarf (: I've heard the car insurance comparison sites aren't always good at finding the cheapest quotes? My entire family is with Tesco if that's any help! xx

  39. Love the print of the dress! I really love Motel stuff, but only wear their dresses for a night out with black opaques as they are scandalously short (5 foot 9)!
    If you're ever in Bristol, you should check out the only Motel shop on Park Street; they do vintage stuff, stock everything and always have a good sale rail!

  41. Thats a gorgeous dress - right up my street. I would have a bit of the problem with the length as I'm 5'8 so I would definitely need shorts.

  54. Motel sizes are super tiny and their dresses always seem to be 'tops'. But I love them all the same, they do great prints! You should check out their store in Bristol, they have some fab bargains! Way cheaper than the website. And they are now stocking Jeffrey Campbell wedges <3

    Lovely outfit as always! The colours really suit you. x

  84. totally irrelevent but saw this and thought you'd like it to fulfill your ambition of becoming wednesday adams who is totally my style icon (no joke, i adore christina ricci. both curvy shorties :D)

    course it's very very steep but look out for it in the sales or something
