Winter may be just round the corner, however I for one am not quite ready to cover up the gams JUST yet. I’ve always been able to go out bare legged in the Winter; they just just never seem to get cold. My HANDS however, are a different story altogether.

I had been uhmm’ing and ahh’ing about getting this Simply Be dropped hem dress for the longest time, however when I saw my bae Hollie from Pretty Big Butterflies rock the dress flawlessly on Instagram, I decided to pop into the store and give it a purchase – it also helped that it was, and still is on sale!

Now, you may be wondering why the dress seems rather tight around the ole’ tummy – well don’t fret as there’s a method to my madness. It occurred to me that with this sort of material I would need to size up, however I decided to keep to my normal size as I’m currently getting back on the ‘Winter Health Kick’ as it were, and plan to lose a bit of weight, which at the moment is going well (pray for me though O_o) . I paired the dress with very simple, yet elegant/edgy necklace from Alexander McQueen and some good old trusty boots from Ye Olde’ Primark. 

Apologies for looking like Alfred Hitchcock in the face by the way – I was bitten by something last week that caused my face to swell and I didn’t have the energy to apply makeup this day – LOL, sexy.
