Oh how I love twitter, a week or so ago Katrina and I were have a pre payday browse of Matalan and fell in love with a dress; or rather, variations of the same dress. We made this fact known, because sharing is caring right? Well, the folks at Matalan certainly think so as they gifted Katrina and I the dresses so we could do a double blog post showing how we’d wear them.
I was head over heels for the tribal design, and Katrina embraced the gorgeous butterfly print. Both dresses are £20 and are available online now!
With the bold pattern, I decided to let the dress do the talking and teamed it with black tights from Tesco and my bargain New Look ankle boots. I did toy with the idea of orange/rust coloured tights, or my orange Jeffrey Campbell boots but in the end, simple won.
I can’t quite explain how much I love this dress, it’s not something I would typically be drawn to, but the combination of the sheer sleeves, bold print and the fabulous pointed collar won me over. I also love that come spring, bare legs and wedges will make just as much impact.
And how did Katrina wear hers? Well, you’ll need to pop over to her blog and find out…(and check out her giveaway whilst your there)
Which dress is your favourite? And how would YOU wear it?

Wow Laura, I love they way our dresses are similar but how different they look when we style them up.
The colors in the dress work so well with your skin tone & hair color.
