To buy or not to buy

Well actually it's to take back or not to take back! I need you lovely people helps. I bought this dress from Topshop the other day and it cost me £40. Now if you know me well I am very stingy with my money and £40 in my eyes is a lot on just a dress, so i have to be certain on it. That is why i need your help! cause I'm not certain on it. I bought it in a size 6 petite at the time i didn't realise it was petite (maybe i need glasses who knows) and so yeah! I mean it fits perfect I'm just worried it's wrongly short as in you can see my arse cheeks. I'll let you be the judge of that!

not great photos. Finding it hard to find a good place to take photos! But yeah this is the dress.. What do you all think? I'll also include some more photos of what i wore it with today! then you might get the gist of what it looks like normally
so thats what my outfit was today! I wore it with my new spotty tights which i love and I'm surprised they haven't ripped more then they have seeing as there from primark! I do like the dress I'm just not 100%! very undecided person me. 
I also want to show you what i bought in primark today, typical i always find good things when i don't have much money on me! saw some great things in there today but this is what i bought 
as you can see from the first picture it was only £1.50!! and i love it, it's a real locket as well. Defiantly a good thing from primark. they have some good jewellery in at the moment, And some good dresses and tops, i was actually impressed cause normally my local Primark is really bad with nothing at all.
I've just found out I should be going to London on Sunday so I'm looking forward to spending all my money! the last time i went to london i did a really good shop and got some great things. I've got about £100 maybe? So I'm sure i can get a few good things! I'm hoping to get over to Jazmine's local charity shop and vintage shops she posted about. My uncle lives close to there and I'm going there first before going shopping so i might pop round to the charity shop and see if i can snap up some good things! 

So my day was a good day today, I had a lot of work load and i still do! I haven't really been on twitter or anything for the past 2 days, it's been a bit stressful! but I'm back to normal and i should do an outfit post again tomorrow, I'm thinking off wearing my new jeans that i haven't worn to college yet! one thing that did make my day bad was a argument i had with my friend, I was right in the end but you know they didn't see that and it's all blown out of proportion but i don't care! I can stick up for myself and i know i am right. (note to self DO NOT lend people money ever it'll just end badly)

Love, Rose

  1. It's such a nice colour and fits you really nicely. Looks really versatile, so you could wear it for any season and also dress it up or down depending on day/night. I'm sure you could get your money's worth! I vote keep!xx

  2. Wow I must get this necklace!! amazing :)

    about the dress, I love it on you it looks great but I do think it's a tiny bit too short? it looks more like a tunic to me (but it's just my opinion) apart from that it's a lovely dress, such a great colour too!

  5. Oh no, I hate when that happens. I'm going to be completely honest (because that what you want, right?) - the dress is so beautiful and fits you perfectly, but it really is quite short, as you'd expect for a petite size! I'm just like you and £40 to me is a lot of money for a dress unless I was 110% about it - though at Topshop, I'm sure you'd be able to find something else for your money that you'd love in every single way.

    It is a lovely dress though!
    As for the necklace, it's amazing. And I had those tights but left them in Australia because they had holes in them, I should go get a new pair hahaha. ♡

  6. I like this dress, I wanted it too but I'm the same as you, so stingy with prices! :/ I think it's fit and you can probably wear it loads of different ways, it's a very all season colour too so keepzzz! xxx

  7. I love it! Its not too short if you feel comfortable wearing it. I would wear it with thick black tights though instead of really sheer tights.
    I would keep! infact, i may have a look around for it myself tommorow (: xx

  8. It's beautiful but short, I don't think I could get away with it with my arse xx

  9. definitely keep it! although it is expensive it'll last for ages (but i would hand wash incase it shrinks - that material can be funny!), and it won't go out of fashion because that style/colour never does. it looks so nice on you, and makes your legs look amazing! KEEP IT! x

  10. I love the dress! Suits you so much and looks lovely with those tights, I'd say definately keep it :)
    Think I'm going to go have a mooch in my local primark for that necklace aswell

  11. Hi, I don't like-sorry! But i think it looks like a maternity top and doesn't even look like a dress. Plus when you wash it, it might shrink and really become a wide maternity top. The colour is nice but the dress is not that nice, and in my opinion not worth £40.

    The necklace is wayyy cute though.

  12. i love this dress! but my motto is if you're not sure then you shouldn't keep it. that necklace is stunning! my primark never has good jewellery though xx

  13. I absolutely love this dress, the colour is gorgeous, so I say keep :D xo

  14. KEEP! I have this and I was a little put off by the price tag but I love it. I wear mine with super thick tights or leggings tucked in boots/shoe boots. It is rather on the short side. I didn't realise it was petite either! haha. x

  15. I tried this on! Love the detailing and sheer quality of it, but I found the sleeves really irritating? I think it really suits you, perhaps exchange it for the standard length tunic though? Also, I am totes buying that cameo pendant tomorrow, cannae believe it's Primark! xx

  16. i really like that top but im not too sure on it either :S And wow, Primark are really upping their game, that necklace is gorgeous and i have been looking for something like that in ages !!

  20. I love the dress, I actually wanted to get it, it's so perfect! And I have been looking for a necklace like that for so long, (thank you primark for making one- i love your prices!!) what a good find! xx

  21. keep babes, it looks lovely on you.

  22. Love the dress, but if you feel uncomfortable with how short it is maybe try on one that isn't petite just to check if it's better?

    Definitely keep it though it looks lovely on you, the colour suits you so well!

  24. That's a really lovely dress! The colour really suits you. I like the sheer and lace details. It is a tad short. Perhaps you could exchange it for a standard length? And keep an eye out. It could possibly go on sale soon

  26. keep it, you have such great legs it doesn't matter if the dress is short! it looks lovely on you, as do the polka dot tights. ohh, you are coming to london on sunday? i hope my local charity shops have good stock in when you are there, plus as it's sunday my local car boot sale is about a 5-10 minute walk from my favourite charity shop. just search 'battersea car boot sale' for the address. i never leave empty handed at that car boot, it've very big and luckily it's in on concrete so no muddy shoes! :)

  27. i have that dress! and i love it, it looks really good on you. It is a little on the short side but you could wear some shorts underneath it as a safe option? or try changing it for one that isnt petite.
    cute necklace primark has some lovely jewellery atm :) xo

  28. Keep keep keep!

  30. it is gorgeous and the colour is looks so nice but eeeshk thats short!

    it sort of looks alright though!

    really like the way you've paired it with the hoody and jacket to make it a bit more casual.

    i think overall its a keep :)

  31. i really love the colour of the dress, but as you've said it is a tiny bit too short - i'd just be paranoid of wind blowing it up! i think it'd look great with a black bodycon skirt? ive seen lily @ llymlrs.com style her clothes like this especially with oversized tops/tunics :)

  32. Oh I really hope you kept it :) I nearly bought this dress sooooo many times when I was working in Topshop, but I just couldn't justify it, I already have far too many dresses lol! But it looks amazing on you so treat yourself :) x
