Glitz Glamour and Grunge: August 2017

So it's been a while since my last post but I've been pretty busy and I've been on holiday so been spamming my instagram with holiday pics, I'm still not over it. I went to a mermaid academy and it was literally the best day ever, being a mermaid is a dream come true for me. It was so nice to do such a fun activity with my friend and daughter and we all absolutely loved it. Unfortunately England doesn't seem to know what summer means and we have barely had any sun and it's nearly over booo! I'm going to Leeds festival next week which for me always marks the end of summer, so it's kind of bittersweet as I'm super excited for it but also sad summers over before we even had one, where has this year gone!!

So I actually took photos of this outfit quite a while ago but just hadn't got round to blogging it. The rock/band tee trend is still around though so it's still relevant. I did a similar post a few posts back with this grunge/pretty trend which I absolutely love. There's a bit less to this one as it's just a dress, I had my eye on it for a while and couldn't decide between the plain and Lace back version but I took the plunge with the lace version. Both versions are now in the sale at only £7/8 absolute bargain!

It is a band style t-shirt dress with a cut out deep v and choker neck detail. To the sleeves and back it has black Sheer Lace, so it makes it a little dressier which I love. It is really low which is fine for small busted gals like me but maybe not so good for fuller busts. As I was going to a gig and it was a bit gapey I thought I'd play it safe with a mesh bra with some added strap detail which I think adds to the look. A standard bra probably would've looked weird but this kind of style that's made to be seen is perfect. I wore my fave buckle detail shoes adding to the grungey look with some fishnet socks. I added a bit of girliness to complement the Lace and went for pompom earrings and my rainbow sequin backpack. Finishing off with some blue mirrored sunnies and a deep blue lipstick to pick out the blue in the tee. Although it's quite a casual look the Lace and neck detail makes it an outfit that could easily go from day to night!!
