SHADE LONDON TENNIS DRESS.. SO 90'zzzz

[Dress - Shade London]

[Bag - Monki]

[Jacket - Afflecks]

[Shoes - YRU]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Fishnet Socks - Primark]

I haven't had much time to post this week because of me getting a new (old) job and trying to sort out Germany as that's where I am going on Saturday! I thought I'd show off this dress again because I think is super cute! and very 90's sports! I've always really liked the stuff from Shade London but since I am a poor student was never able to afford anything from there, UNTIL my cute boyfriend bought me this for my 20th birthday!

Pairing this gorg dress with my now not so white YRU sandals and some cutie fishnet socks that match my jacket and hair was a fab decision, I feel so coordinated right now.

The sporty feel from this vintage bomber complimented the dress as it's quite hard to find something to go well with it especially because it's so summery and short, it's meant to be worn alone but today was too cold for that! 

My bag was a huge bargain from MONKI in the sale for £10 got it around april time and think it's sold out now! 

I do love this dress a lot, but it is quite see through, have to have some certain underwear (if any) to wear with it because the slightest pattern would show so bad underneath! So I would definitely either, if you're close to a 10 get the next size up or make sure you're at least a 6-8 to fit in the dress without it being see through!

Please excuse my awful colour hair in this post, I am trying at the moment to get it a nice subtle EVEN colour but as you can imagine its easier said than done! If you want to know more about my hair I have a previous post on what I used/how I did it! 

Still in love with the ombrè lips though I used the purple shade from makeup revolution and the black shade from MUA both lipsticks £1 each and then used a brush to create an ombrè effect on the outside.

Thank you for reading my post! feel free to comment and don't forget to follow me on Instagram @annahodgson!

EBAY CHINA FOREVER

[Two Piece - eBay]

[Fishnet Tights - eBay]

[Trainers - Nike]

I've always being a big fan of eBay the clothing shops/boutiques on there and I have being buying occasionally for a good few years! As I am going to Germany soon I wanted to get a few pieces from eBay China for my travels that would fit in my case so I could take more! Ordering from eBay China is just as easy as normal eBay (obviously) but just takes a bit longer than usual to get to you! The items from eBay are very small simple designs and come in VERY small sizes (as I've worked out) but after a few purchases you get to know the averages sizes (I predict it at about 2 sizes smaller than UK sizes) I bought this little two piece as a test to go under a mesh/crochet dress I have to wear this summer! Both pieces cost me approx £5 which is a really good price and took approx 2 weeks to get to me but all arrived well and good! :D I also got the fishnet tights from there too as they cost something like 80p and it's good when you're not bothered about having them ASAP because it's a nice surprise when they do finally arrive! The fishnet stockings I was pleasantly surprised by them as they were 'one size' so I thought to myself that they definitely wouldn't fit me in a million years but they did!  

I will be doing a few more blog posts in the future about more of my cheap eBay China buys so if you're interested then keep checking back!

I will also link up to the items as soon as I re-find them on eBay.

OH MY FISH...NET SOCKS!

Don't get me wrong fishnet used to remind me of fancy dress and the 80's but I do love my fishnet socks I've had SO many pairs over the past few years but they are so tiny and wash so small that I always lost them or at least one of them! So I thought that when I got my newest pair I would do a blog post about them as they're so cheap but so versatile. I got my newest pair from Primark (of course) they're only £1 a pair so it would be stupid not to buy some. They also come in white, pink, blue, orange and red which will cover ALL outfit combinations. My personal favourite is the black pair as they would be the best to go with my outfit choices.

I do enjoy the fact they go with almost any shoe! I've taken a few photos of what type of shoes I wear them with and feel free to comment if you would want to see me try anything else to see what I wear them with, I'm always so up for suggestions. 

I have paired my fishnet socks up with some Adidas Superstar trainers, I have linked the website up but the ones I have are last years collab with Topshop but they're on the adidas website for £65!

I have also paired them with these slip-on shoes and pointed sandal shoes, both from Primark. The slip-ons are £4 and the pointed sandals are £3 which are SUCH good prices.

I do hope to see everyone with these fishnet socks on this summer because they are a must have so cheap and cheerful, just make sure you don't loose them in the wash!
