Dress: c/o Phase Eight
Boots: Yull
Tights: Probably Tesco but possibly Primark?!
Bracelet: Pandora
I’m not usually a fan of surprises, I prefer routine and knowing what’s going to happen but when the postman delivered this Phase Eight dress of dreams I squealed out loud; I had NO idea they were going to send it and feel like the luckiest girl ever.
Does it live up to my expectations and long-lived lust? Oh yes it does. My photos (as ever) do not do this justice…I wore it to work on Thursday and got so many compliments. The cut and fit is beautiful too, I’ll pretty much live in this and I am very tempted to splash out on a couple more dresses at some point as they just fit me perfectly.
Well, welcome to the weekend. I’m actually at work this morning hence the early hour of this post; I swear pre-work is the only real spare time I get to focus. I finish at 11 though as it’s only a short Saturday surgery so I’m heading in to town for a pay day shopping trip and my first real spend up since I came off crutches…I reckon I deserve that, right? Between that and finally finding peace with myself I think a treat or two is the least I can do.
What are your plans this weekend? Whatever they are, enjoy them…we survived the most depressing month of the year and that is cause for celebration.

What a pleasant surprise receiving that Phase Eight dress of dreams with all the lovely big hearts on it less than two weeks from Valentine’s Day! It’s lovely! Enjoy your day off and be careful mow that your off those crutches.
As for my own weekend plans I’ll undoubtedly continue my hibernation contemplating a possible Valentine’s Day outfit post – just don’t hold your breath waiting for it. I’ll most likely spend Valentine’s day alone with whatever lingerie I bought myself. For now I’m cheering myself up looking at blog posts like yours 🙂
what a beautiful dress, love the shape and you look just swoonsome! x
That dress is stunning on you, so I imagine you got loads of compliments. Surviving January, surviving crutches – go splash out on yourself beauty. xxx
How lovely of them 🙂 it looks fab on you xx
Aw Laura I am so pleased for you. When I was reading your post about how much you loved it I just thought ‘I hope it goes into the sale soon as she would suit it so much’ and then you got it sent to you, how lovely of Phase Eight! Also here’s a weird coincidence for you, as I was writing this comment there was a knock on the door so I put the laptop down halfway through writing and it was my Phase Eight parcel (the two tops I ordered when I saw the dress on you on FB the other day and went to check out the site and saw the sale!) spooky lol.
The fit of it on you is perfect, I can see why you are wanting to buy more. I love it!!
