All things Vicky.: Topshop & Dorothy Perkins

Just a quick post today (I'm sure I think this a lot then end up writing a whole page haha)

I went 'shopping' with my mum today because I wanted to try on some dresses I'd seen in Topshop and one was a possible wedding outfit for when she gets married.

I looked around the store and couldn't find the dress I wanted to try (below)

but they did have this one (below)

which was actually really nice and my mum said she liked this one! So, if I can't find the other one or don't like it I may just have to get the one with the 'bit' around the waist as it looked quite elegant. I love Topshop dresses as I find they're a really good quality and a really nice fit.

Also, I wanted to try on a leopard print skater dress I'd seen online and in another store. I really like their skater dresses because they're great if you want to hide a bit of belly, because I don't have the flattest tum in the world and I just like the way they 'flow' although I don't like them too long, I'm only 5'2" so I feel like long dresses can make me look even smaller.

I tried the Leopard print one and... I must shamefully say yes, I did buy it *naughty me* I've been trying so hard to resist spending any money but you can never have enough clothes and it was a treat to myself for being so good for not spending money on things I didn't need up until that point :)

You can buy this dress here. I paid £36 for it which for a Topshop dress I was happy to pay as normally they're over £40 like the two above they're around £48 I believe and I've paid £46 for a plain black skater dress from Topshop before - crazy I know.

I got a size 10 because as I said my belly isn't the flattest and I believe that Topshop dresses do come up a bit bigger on me anyway. Also, I have biggish boobies ;) (not bragging lolz) and I like to make sure they can fit into the dress without it stretching and I find that a size 10 fits me perfectly.

So, yeah that was my Topshop purchase & as you can see by the post title you may have guessed I bought something from Dorothy Perkins, so I'll now show you that.

On Thursday me, my mum and my boyfriends mum went 'shopping' to look at dresses for the wedding and I was in a BHS and they had a Dorothy Perkins section and this blouse caught my eye and I knew I had to have it but being the good girl that I am I didn't bring my card with me as I had no intention to spend any money.

However, when I got home I kept complaining to my mum how much I liked this blouse and she told me to buy it otherwise I'd regret it so... online I went and put the blouse in my basket, I also put another one in but in a different colour and then went to pay BUT I hate paying for shipping/postage and packaging and it was £4 so in total my basket had come to £58 and I was like NOOOOO! So I cancelled and didn't bother but then I was sulking haha so I made my mum do it for me so I couldn't look and be all like hmm arrgh!

Anyhow, the blouses arrived yesterday. Yay

You can find the blouses on the Dorothy Perkins website here & here. On the hangers in the shop they looked lovely but it was a different story when I tried them on. The Aqua one is fine, I don't mind it and I'll be keeping it but the Blush/Pinky Peach one just doesn't look right on me so i'll be sending it back because they cost £27 each and there's no point keeping it if I'm not going to wear it.

I got size 12s in these as I find with button up blouses/shirts the gaps between the buttons where my boobs are always come apart and you can see between so yeah, not cool, I don't want them on show! haha
