Dresses!

Doing the translation course requires me to read the financial pages to familiar myself with the lingo, which is indeed as boring as it sounds. Anyway, according to the ‘word on the stock market’ (if you will) the general retail slumps this year means that all the shops are starting their X’mas sales early. H&M in particular seem to have a sale since the summer. There's obviously a lot of tat on the rails, but I have been finding quite a lot of nice things from their formal (?) range, which has a lot of Miu Miu & Chloe style knock offs. I found these two dresses for a pleasing 10 pounds each.



Headband: H&M
Dress: H&M
Necklace: oh god, H&M, I swear I don't normally wear the label head to toe.
Tights: Taiwan



Dress: H&M
Black Top: Taiwan
Leggings: American Apparel
Necklace: Clothes exchange
Headband: Primark

Speaking of Sales, I'm seriously tempted to go up to London tomorrow for the Viv Westwood sample sale that I read in Style Bubble & email from dear friend Gemma. I swear it shall be the ruin of me…

I love the first dress :) Can;t believe it's from H&M! (The H&M in my city isn't that great, plus because where I live is small, everyone tends to wear the same thing). The headband and necklace looks cute :) xx

Your H&M is so much better than mine, I swear I have never seen these dresses there before.

The Vivienne Westwood sale, omg if I actually had some spare cash and wasn't working tomorrow I would go. Would have to get there before the obsessed (rightly so) fans turn up though.

Thank you all for the comments! It does seem H&M has a very varied stock, there are days when I went in there and want to buy everything, while other days are just rubbish!

Love the first dress! Do you know the band Bat for Lashes, because you're second look reminds me of the lead singer. Boho Chic!
