The Little Grey Dress

I don’t shop in Topshop very often as I can’t really afford it and find it near impossible to pick up only one thing at a time. I recently won a competition though where the prize was a £100 gift card, the perfect excuse for a bit of a spree (timed with the sale, of course so I managed to get 2 dresses, a pair of shoes and a top for that!)

Dress: Topshop (here) | Trainers: New Balance (similar) | Watch c/o Caravelle

This dress was down to £20 in the sale when I bought it, although I think it’s since been reduced further in the non tall range at least. I just love it. I don’t own anything even vaguely similar and it’s one of those dresses that just makes you feel good the second you put it on. The ribbed fabric lends itself to a sports chic approach so I popped on my New Balance trainers then added a girly spin on the look with my beloved rose gold watch from Caravelle.
No doubt my other Topshop purchases will be appearing on the blog before too long, it’s been a while since I last shopped there and in the past I’ve found sizes and quality a bit hit or miss but this time round I’ve been impressed which is kind of a bad thing as I’m itching to go back for more!

  7. Love your dress!! <3

  8. Such a gorgeous piece! So happy you snapped this up. I definitely agree that Topshop is pretty unaffordable… £40 for a basic jumper, ugh! Saying that I can see why you want to venture back, they really have some gorgeous summer pieces this season don’t they? Hearting major the sports luxe look and the rose gold is just beaut on you! <3
