This dress layered over skinny jeans is what I wore at the weekend and is also a style challenge entry.
As you lovely readers helped me win one in April, I was hoping you’d vote for this outfit too…! I simply need as many “Likes” as possible on the Aspire Style Facebook competition page 🙂
I was contacted to see if I wanted to take part in a dress styling competition for the brand – five bloggers have been challenged by Aspire Style to create an outfit based around a dress from their site. I chose the Louche Zaza tropical bird print dress which is a great piece for layering over skinnies and has a gorgeous print – the black floppy hat and the strappy heels are the perfect finishing touches. I feel more than a touch Rachel the Hat in this outfit; I think I was subconsciously channelling the Welsh beauty when I put this together!
So if you like the way I’ve styled it…
Click here to see my outfit on their Facebook page and “Like” to vote!
The winning blogger will receive a £250 Aspire Style wardrobe that I’ll be offering in a giveaway as a thank you!
Click here, then click on my photo and “Like” to vote!
Don’t forget – if I win, I’ll host a £250 giveaway to spend at Aspire Style! Thanks everyone <3
