Going wild in the aisles!

(Does anyone remember that catch phrase from Supermarket Sweep? I used to love that show!)

Hey everyone!
Whilst recently doing the grocery shopping in Tesco, I spotted some pretty dresses and I couldn't help but have a peek. I found this beauty on the sale rail for £6. I got home, tried it on, and loved it so much, I went back to Tesco and picked another one up in a different pattern. The blue one is a size 22 and the pink/red one is a size 20, I don't find there is a huge amount of difference in the sizing, as the material is a light jersey, so is slightly stretchy.




Dress: Tesco, Leggings: Primark, Shoes: Primark, Glasses: Lensway, Necklace: Asda


I know this is a summer dress, but you can so work this out to be an all seasons dress. I'm going to wear it with leggings, flats and a cardigan for this time of year when you're not really sure what the weather is going to do, and with some opaque tights, a thicker cardgan and some boots in the cooler months. I think it would also look good with a biker jacket or a denim jacket too.


Here's a close up of the dresses:




Pretty, wearable, practical and totally worth the £6! There were other designs, I saw a gorgeous polka dot one and a horizontal stripe one but unfortunately I couldn't find my size. Definitely worth checking out if you have a Tesco near by. I love having basic pieces in my wardrobe that I can just throw on with whatever I have available for a casual yet chic look. What pieces do you have in your wardrobe that you feel you can do this with?

I love them, I picked one up v similar in a mustared colour with a very fine pleat to the skirt, like you said, so versatile, I'm planning on wearing mine with a long sleeve black jersey, thick black tights and biker boots! You look gorgeous btw xxx

They are lovely, really pretty patterns and they don't look like 6Pound dresses.

OOOOOOHHHH I love them both!!! I love dresses like that. Australia is so plus-size fashion retarded that most of our clothes over here are so expensive. So that bargain is even more awesome!
