When you suddenly find your diary full of birthday parties, naming ceremonies and surprise 50th celebrations, 2 of your "go to dresses" are in the dry cleaners who have shut up shop and cleared off to sunnier climes for a fortnight, what is a girl to do? Well it's time to buy a new dress obviously but when you are penny and not style pinching, where is a girl to go for a quick fashion fix?
My dress requirements are short sleeves with a shift or A Line shape, so at least I manage to refine my search, having thousands of dress options gets a little bit daunting for me and can put me off the bigger websites but on this occassion the Asos price points were right, with so many cards and presents to buy over the last few weeks, there was little left in the coffers for a new outfit.
At just £30 the leopard print dress fitted the bill perfectly and although I have always been a massive fan of leopard print and have various accessories and a jacket, I have never had a dress in this timeless print that designers roll out in their collections every season.
Simple to throw on and accessorise, its an outfit that takes little on the styling front, the print does all the talking and boy did it get some compliments! I was amazed by my facebook comments and 106 likes - certainly boosted the old girls confidence I can tell you and I look forward to wearing this timeless dress on a few nights out in the run up to Christmas, making it a purse friendly purchase on a "cost per wear" basis (can't beat a bit of fashion maths to justify a purchase or two).
Another thing I was really impressed with is that the dress comes in petite, tall and plus size options, so there is a fit and length for all. I will certainly be dropping into Asos again when funds are low and style is high on the agenda, I have a feeling this won't be the first and only dress I purchase from them, my daughters all have prime delivery as they use the site daily around their pay days!
Now it's time to move on to the Leopard Print Ankle Boot search.............
Have you bought a dress from Asos recently?
