Dress Mango | Shoes New Look | Watch Olivia Burton Watch

Happy 1st of March my lovely readers. I hope you have managed to see your first blossom bud pop open or a beautiful yellow daffodil today! With Spring comes a new wardrobe. Well, it most certainly does for the style conscious characters like myself.

I could not contain my excitement when I saw this gorgeous Breton Striped dress pop up on Mango’s Instagram page. Within a matter of seconds I had contacted my friend who works for Mango to make sure I got one! Going in to Spring I know I need a few more staple pieces that can be dressed to the weather accordingly. The thing I love about this dress is that it is just that, versatile. Bare legged or worn with thick woolly tights, it’s something that I know I will be able to rely on for all seasons.

Those who know me well, know that my obsession with stripes is reaching epic proportions and with all my might I am trying to contain myself from purchasing more pieces like this. I really think I should try one of those spending bans that everyone seems to put themselves on. I. Must. Resist. For £17.99 I just had to have it, especially when you know the quality of Mango is so good.

Have you picked up a staple piece that you know will stand the test of time? Or have you bought this dress too?

  Hi India,
  Gos I wish it was. It’s Mr C’s Grandma’s and we house sit a lot so I take full advantage of shooting in here! It really is affordable, took it on an outing last night to the pub quiz! Waheyyy!

Bare legs! So brave. It will probably be a couple of months before I get to that level of skin showing… cute dress though.

The mini print clash from your shoes to your dress, its so cute! I actually love your shoes lots, to the point where it might actually make my heart hurt. You are absolutely gorgeous too! Ahhhh just everything about this!!!

  Bethany, I cannot explain how you have just made a girl smile from ear to ear. You absolute sweetheart. The shoes were in the New Look sale back in January, I think they have run out of stock but always worth a try. They were pretty reasonable too, Gotta love a bit of print clashing. I styled it up completely differently yesterday and I went all bike chick, it totally rocked!

I have an obsession with stripes too! Do they hypnotise us or something??? Bought a similar dress from Topshop not long ago and like you just love that it is a wardrobe staple and can be worn so many different ways. Oh and I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE the shoes!! Xxx

  Nicki, I really think it must be hypnotising us because I just can’t get enough. I had another delivery & it included a striped Bardot top, when will it end?! HAHA! The shoes are super cute aren’t they? So comfy too!

  Thank you my love! Everyone has said they love the shoes! I didn’t think they’d get much loving, ha! They were from New Look, I got them for about £10 in the sale in January… Not sure if they will have them now, but worth a shot!

Hello, thanks for stopping by! Think thé shoes are SO amazing. Stripes are a MUST in the closet… speaking about it, I’m jealous of your build in closet (sorry I’m from Belgium, sometimes I have to express myself in my own way 😉 ). Keep wearing stripes! x

  How did I not see your comment! Please forgive me, I wasn’t being rude. I wish it was my closet. It is my husbands Grandma’s where we house sit a lot. I can dream, can’t I?
