Last week when Siany at A Change of Dress blogged about a cute little skater dress from New Look, I just knew I had to go in to try it on. So on Friday I had a look at New Look’s new Oxford Street store (where Borders used to be… bit depressing to see how different it now looks) and the dress fit perfectly!

It’s available in 5 different colours (black, alabaster, grey, peach and mint green) for only £16. I ended up getting the black one, mainly because that’s the only one of the 5 colours I could actually find. But even then, I’m not really sure whether the other colours really suited me (especially not the peach or the green… alabaster maybe). I love how simple this dress is; it’s not perfectly made (there are a couple of sewing faults near the waist), but it falls in a flowy fun way. It’s a bit thin for winter, I think, but with spring coming up it’s perfect!
Check out the New Look website for the full details.

Thanks for the shout-out! I reckon I’ll end up buying it in grey and then prettying it up with some flowery stuff

Yeah, I love your new blog! All the dresses are so pretty and only makes me want to buy more
I’m keeping it simple with this dress, pairing it with red tights, red hairband and long necklace (although will have to wait till the weather is a bit better).
