Outfit

Je Suis Sérieux

April 2, 2012

I find the hardest thing about shooting my outfit posts is what to do with myself, by gosh I am no model and I have the biggest cheesiest grin which I can’t help but do. I find that I look most ridiculous if I try and be ‘serious’ in a post, or just look ‘au naturel’, makes me chuckle seeing myself look so cringey haha. Anyway, for this post, because of the style of outfit, I wanted to look serious to show an edgy side to this amazing dress. So, please do have a little giggle at my expense, I am so not a serious person haha.
. Freemans: Oli Contrast Beaded Tunic Dress* . Carvella Boots .
So I totally love this dress, it’s the most gorgeous rich burgundy red colour, with such pretty beading detail. It reminds me of French Connection but it’s actually from Freemans (they have a seriously good collection of dresses right now). It’s also in the sale down from £80 to £32 … hell yes. I was hoping to wear this dress to my event the other day but unfortunately I didn’t get it in time (I wore this instead). But no fear, I will be making a million more reasons to wear this as I love it so much. A-frame dresses usually don’t suit me (I tend to suit waist clenching dresses) but this actually hangs so beautifully that I’m converted to this style of dress. I also seriously love this dress and also this one too, both are from the Oli collection sold through Freemans. They’re perfect for summer and i think they’d look ace with some summer sandals and a blazer (especially the pink beaded tunic one).
What do you think of this dress, have you bought anything from Freemans recently? Have I amused you with my ‘serious’ face ;)
