I've been getting bored of my wardrobe again lately and I've been spending time trying to think up new combinations and this one hit me whilst I was on a bus the other day (still don't have a car, sob!). Although I love this dress, I rarely wear it because it's a bit too short. Wearing it as a top works well, especially since the nice detailing is around the collar, and means I can wear it more often!
Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that I'm doing the Jenny Craig diet this month. I really want to lose a bit of weight and Jenny Craig has a lot of success stories! It's one of those programmes where they send out your meals to you, all healthy and proper sized portions. I'm blogging about it over on my other blog Where Are My Knees? if you're interested! Wish me luck!
That looks lovely as a top, it's so cute! I have a few dresses which are now too short so that's a good idea to wear them as tops..just need to get some appropriate skirts!

A lot of my dresses are now far too short aswell (although I swear I haven't grown?!) so I think I'll be doing this more often! x
DeleteLove the print on your dress, so cute :) Great idea wearing it as a top too! Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the Jenny Craig diet! x
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Shall be Tweeting at posting about it over on WAMK. I really hope it works! x

ReplyDeleteThat dress is so lovely, such a clever idea to wear a skirt over it, I should try that with some of my clothes!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what you think of Jenny Craig, I've heard a lot of good things about it!
Charlie, xox.
Thank you! I think I'll be wearing more skirts as tops in the near future! I've heard lots of things too. I feel like I'm eating constantly at the moment but it's all small portions... x
Deletei missed out on that primark skirt, boooo!
ReplyDeletei told myself to lose the 4 pound i've put on in the last few months but then i still keeps eating crisps & chocolates every day. gonna check out this diet programme now, i hope it's not expensive!
x
Aww rubbish! 4lbs is quite a small amount to lose, I reckon you could do that in a couple of weeks seeing that 1-2lbs is a healthy loss. I think the key is eating small and often, at least that's what Jenny Craig is all about. It is really expensive so probably not something I'd recommend for a weightloss of 4lbs! You're skinny anyway lady, pfft! :) x
DeleteYour make-up's gorgeous here! Plus that skirts from Primark...looks killer!

Thank you! I haven't done anything different than I usually do, I think my camera and the lighting were just at their best today! The skirt looks much more 'expensive' than a Primark number doesn't it?! x
DeleteI love that primark skirt and the whole outfit combination xx
ReplyDeleteElla @ Belle Vintage
Thanks lovely! xx
DeleteGreat outfit! I love it when an outfit idea just pops into your head - even better when it actually works! Good luck on the Jenny Craig, although you SO don't need to be on a diet xx
ReplyDeleteYea definitely! I didn't think it would work because of the elasticated waist on the dress but I can just about hide it! Aww thank you! I know I'm by no means fat but I've got a few extra lbs on me that I'd rather not have! x
DeleteI want all your animal themed clothes and jewellery please thankyou. xx
ReplyDeleteNever! :D I don't think you'd be able to find a suitcase big enough for it all anyway haha! x
DeleteYou look gorgeous, I love the top & the ring!
ReplyDeletexoxo.
Love this outfit! I love wearing skirts up high waisted like this, makes outfits look more girly and gives us all lovely curves :)
ReplyDeleteI really wish I'd got this skirt from Primark, see so many bloggers wearing it, damn! x
sweet monday
Thanks lovely! I don't think I need anymore curves than what I've got, hence the diet haha but I know what you mean! x
DeleteGorgeous!! I have this dress too and it's short on me but you've definitely inspired me to try wearing it as a top! Absolutely love this outfit on you! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennie! I don't know about you but the dress was the perfect length first time I wore it and now it feels far too short. :( Definitely works as a top though, as long as the skirt is high waisted! x
DeleteI really like this outfit! I love the wee collar on the dress especially. Cute. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah the buttons and collar are what made me want the dress. That and the cute print! x
DeleteMissed out on this Primark skirt too, so annoyed haha. Lovely outfit though, good idea wearing the dress as a top. Your make up looks stunning here :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Didn't do anything different with my make up, the camera just picked it up differently for some reason! :) x
DeleteHow is it that your hair always looks so flawless?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Good Luck with Jenny Craig!
I wish it was flawless, haha! I felt like it looked so flat and greasy today?! x
Deletegive me all the secrets to how your hair is so gorgeous, haha, it's killing me. i love that dress as a top! really adorable.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have to wash it every day because it gets so greasy, it's the bane of my life! I just blow dry it upside down, back come a little and use some dust-it! x
Deleteso effortless <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! x
DeleteI love the ring sweet! You look so cute xox
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Was only £2 or something crazy from Primark ! x
DeleteGood idea!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Jenny Craig! I hope it works for you. I must admit though, I've always wondered how easy it is to stay slim when you stop getting the food sent to you.
Thanks! That's what I wonder too but it's only day 4 and I've already learned a lot about portion control. I was having massive portions compared to what I've been eating on this diet and I was eating a lot of unhealthy snacks because I chose to skips meals. Here's hoping I can manage to keep any weight I lose off! x
DeleteI love this combo, you look lovely! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie :) x
Deletei love that skirt!! and the dress as a top is super cute too :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
janet
Thanks hun! :) I can't stop wearing the skirt - I expect this won't be the last you'll see of it on the blog haha x
DeleteGah why oh why did my primark not stock this skirt? Hope your car gets better soon!
ReplyDeletexx
Mine didn't either until a few weeks ago! Thank you, yours too! x
DeleteGood luck with the diet but don't loose to much. As long as YOU feel good that's all that matters.

I don't feel good at the moment, which is why I'm losing weight. I won't be aiming to lose too much though. Thanks x
DeleteLove this outfit and hope the diet is going well! x
