Just ordered these from Debenhams. Carvela - 'Glory.'
I just hope they turn up as I haven't had much luck with Debenhams in the past.

I think/hope that I may have found my graduation dress! It's possibly a bit too fancy but that tends to be my taste in general! :-)
I'm planning on wearing it for a big wedding next summer too.

Organza Bardot Prom Dress
€58.65 with the 25% student discount from ASOS

So this looked awful on me when it arrived. I think I was too flat chested for it so the padded part stuck out and seemed to just made me look bigger. Quite the confidence killer!

So after much searching I found this instead for €46.99 in TK Maxx. (Though I'm quite raging to find out that it was going for €16 on ASOS before it sold out!)

The dress is a bit blue-er than it looks in the picture so I got these which will hopefully match (though it's not looking good when they're compared on here!). €25 on ASOS but are New Look.

Lovely dress ^^
Would gold/bronze heels not be nicer than blue?

I don't think so. I'm not a big fan of gold shoes though myself so that's probably it. Though it does look like I'll need a better pair of shoes. I'll see how they look when they arrive. I might look at gold again. Any other colour ideas?

Edit: Now that I'm on my phone I see why the colours looked fine before. The shoes look like a totally different, darker blue when I'm on my phone!

You could do a nude shoe? Its a safe option but I think you can't really go wrong with nude!

XxMCRxBabyxX · 02-10-2014 1:36pm

So the shoes arrived today. Believe it or not they're almost perfect!

Just back from a week in Fuerteventura, and was delighted to find a Bershka and a Zara at the top of the road I was staying at!! I bought a couple of things in Bershka.

Got this big cardigan in grey, with fake leather trim. It was an odd thing to be buying in 27 degrees heat, but I loved it & knew I'd get loads of wear out of it here! It was only €35.99 in the store there, but says €39.99 online.

I also got a nice pair of skinny jeans (as if I haven't enough pairs!). They were only €19.99 & fit really well.

Dorothy perkins, €13. Comes in navy too and it's the perfect length

Got this in Oasis in House of Fraser last night. In the sale for €37 and I had a €20 voucher from AGES ago so only cost me €17.

Have a charity dinner thing I am going to wear it to on friday night and got a thin red and gold belt and a red clutch from penny's to dress it up a bit too.

Kintarō Hattori · 16-10-2014 11:48pm

Bought these for the missus from Buffalo Germany via eBay. They are a little more restrained than I'd normally purchase but they look quite nice. About €93 all in.

Kablamo! · 17-10-2014 1:46am

Picked up this but in the non petite range. Want it oversized so I can pretend I'm a lumberjack.

Also grabbed these beauties.

Soooooooo white

The OH actually picked it out. It's from a jewellers in Tullamore called Cahill Jewellers. The stone is a morganite stone. I'm not mad about jewellery but I'm in love with it.

Finally got sorted for my graduation on Monday!

Got this dress in River Island for €45.

Got these shoes in New Look and I'm absolutely in love with them! They are so neat and classy on, and the dark berry colour will look nice under the academic robes I think.

€26.99 with my student discount.

And I also got this blazer in New Look for €26.99 with the student discount. Going to have to exchange it for a size 8 though, it's a bit big on my shoulders. It's still a lovely cut and length though.

I have these and ADORE them. The cut is fab and the colour goes well with so many colours. I'm wearing them with a navy dress on Thursday for my grad.

Just did a sneaky late night order on newlook.com

purplecow1977 · 19-10-2014 10:04am

Schuh online
Rocket Dog €12.99

Toms, €18.99

Boohoo.com €14, Ordered a 16 and it's a bit big, so I need to use a belt around the waist, but I kept it anyway.

€26

ASOS €28.44

Salty · 19-10-2014 11:14pm

I ended up returning the New Look blazer as they didn't have the size down in it. I bought this one instead in H&M and I prefer it to be honest. A lot neater on my shoulders and around the middle. €39.99
