Outfit | Pink Clove 70s dress & a special guest

Hello loves,

I have a guest fashionista on the blog today, my little niece! She loves fashion too, and like me she veers between sweet florals and rockier stuff like tartan and biker boots.

We had a lot of fun taking these photos, and there are so many as little 'un is so cute!



PINK CLOVE MADDIE 70S STYLE PLUS SIZE FRILL DRESS
Accidental pose mirroring!

I saw this dress on Lolly about a month ago and fell in love with it. I bought it a few weeks ago when there was a 30% off code. (I rarely buy anything full price.) You can check her outfit out here. I love the way she styled it with green and tan. It's rather a short dress on me (I'm 5 ft 5 and a half) and it tends to ride up a bit with movement, which means I inadvertently flash off my bum sometimes. Oops! If you're much taller than me this dress will be like a top on you, I'm afraid. I'm wearing a size 28 and it's true to size I would say.

The frill on the top half blows up in the wind so I'll put a few stitches in to hold it down. The print is a slightly pixellated floral, and it's a modern twist on the 70s vibe. I love the colour scheme - the colours remind me of Autumn and I love all things in that warm colour palette - different shades of green, russet/orange and burgundy, just like fallen leaves.

When my parcel came they'd sent me the top in the same pattern. The last time I ordered something from them they sent me the wrong size, so I was fuming at the continued lack of efficient service. I sent off a polite but sternly worded email to customer services telling them what I wanted, which was the right item posted same day - I wasn't going to wait around for them to receive the top before they posted the dress. They replied within a few minutes, with an apology. They sent the dress out via next day delivery that day. As a consumer, if someone lets you down don't be afraid to let them know exactly what you want them to do to fix it.

Little one is wearing a dress from Sainsbury's which was bought before Christmas.

I saw both my nieces this weekend (my baby niece was 2 a couple of days ago) and I don't want either of them to grow up.

Should I get little one to guest on my blog again?

Thanks for reading,
Leah xoxo
