PRETTY IN PAISLEY

Don't you just love Ebay, I can spend hours browsing the dresses people are selling to see if they have one for me. The only thing that can put a dampner on it is if you get stuck in a bidding war - just because someone else is bidding on something you have a minor interest in, you end up bidding like a madwoman, yelling "You're not gonna beat me, you bitch!" at your computer. Then your stuck with a sequin dress that is horrible that you're never going to wear and that you have paid way to much for.

Anyway, I had a lost this H&M dress on Ebay three times before I final won it for the bargain price for £3.70. It is in perfect condition and was perfect for a meal out for my Mum's boyfriend's birthday - I was so chuffed that I didn't slop food or curry all over it, which was a bit of a miracle with the way I went to town on some lamb chops.

    I love that frock! Shows of your legs so well.

    The beauty of a paisley frock is that you could spill curry on it and it wouldn't show too much!

      Thanks Caroline, you certainly would not like to see my legs without the tights - they are so white, you can't look directly at them. x

    Sometimes I'm glad that the shipping from Ebay is so damn expensive, because I would have ordered tons of stuff :D
    I love this new dress, and what a bargain! The clutch is so fancy and I see a little glitter on it *_*

      Yeah sometimes the postage costs are ridiculous - what are they packaging things in, eagle feathers?

      I think this dress is going to get a lot of wear too, I love how it is quite loose, but still shows the waist :)

    That's such a cute dress and I love your nail colour! I always use an auction sniper because I get too emotionally invested haha.
