What I Wore #14


Good afternoon my lovelies! 
Today I just had to wear my latest purchase - dress, fitted, polka dots...simply perfect! I spotted this in New Look yesterday and had to try it on. I didn't think Peter Pan collars would suit me but I liked how it looked so of course I had to buy it (shameful secret - I went and bought the mustard-coloured one today after mulling over it all night!). I love the fit of this dress; it's rare I find a style I really really love so I think I'm justified in buying two! Also New Look are doing a 20% off student discount at the moment so I got the dress for about £22.


I decided to wear my fringe full-on today, it's a little bit heavy but it looks nicer with my hair up so I might do that more often, I never wear my hair up but it does seem to work with a fringe! I look so awkward in these photos, I was in a rush before my seminar this morning hence the stupid poses.

Finally, a little close up! The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that I don't Photoshop the pictures of my face/make-up other than to resize them - this is because I feel it would be misleading any other way and you should be able to get a good idea of how products work on me! I'm wearing my usual products, with a few exceptions: the blusher is Sleek Rose Gold, which I picked up the other day, and of course I'm not wearing foundation! Speaking of which...

No-Foundation-February update: I feel so INSECURE without foundation. It's horrible, I feel I look really tired and haggard without it and I'm having a hard time getting used to not putting it on (I use it as concealer, with a light dusting of translucent powder over my oily bits). But I shall persevere in the hope that it does my skin some good! A shout-out must go to Franki over at The Little Curly Girl, who has joined me in my attempt to shun foundation for a full 28 days. Go wish her luck!

P.S - I have changed my font size because my photos are so massive - if you don't like it, or have trouble reading, let me know and I will change it back!
