So, I tried on this dress in Urban Outfitters in NYC, and was like 'Colour? Good. Print? Good. Material? Good. Neckline? BAAAAD.' Here is an illustration of how I felt about the neckline.
There are some things that I learned at a very young age and this is one of them - girls with boobs do not look good in a high neck. I'm really sorry if you're clutching your poloneck to your double Ds right now, wailing 'But I love it!' Look darling, I'm not going to tell you what to wear, so if you still want to wear it, you should wear it. But a v-neck or a scoop neck would look a thousand times better. I'm right about this. One day you'll accept it.
Like many busty girls, I constantly wish mine were smaller. And a dress like this makes them look double the size - not my desired effect. But what do you do when you like everything about a dress except the unflattering neckline and don't do sewing? You utilise that wasted keyhole detail at the back and you turn that baby round. Check it out!
Seriously, how much better does it look? My boobs are an acceptable size, I'm not making that weird face - suddenly this dress is a winner! I matchy-matched the heck out of this dress because I love a bit of matchy-matching. The shoes were an old sale bargain from Office (but you can get these similar shoes from Peter Hahn!) and even though they're a year old, I have somehow never worn them before. I don't know how, because they are amazeballs and oh, with the matchy-matching. MATCHING. I love some matching. It's come back around, too! I read it on the Cosmo website. Eventually, if you hold onto a trend stubbornly enough, it'll always come back around. I'm ignoring what they're saying about berets being passe. THEY'LL COME BACK AROUND.
