The Five Ninety Nine.

OK, so I'm not quite sure if I love this dress more because it a really cute dress or the fact that I paid peanuts for it. Either way I'm not complaining. You know me and my bargain wagging ways always finds the best buys. I bought this dress on eBay for £5.99 *chuckles*. Yes. You read it right. FIVE NINETY NINE. Proof that you can look good without a hefty name tag or brand. I'm all for making your money work for you and this dress is a great example. People are usually bamboozled to how I find these great buys especially on eBay. The trick is in the description. When searching on eBay, first you need patience because there is more tack than gold on the site but if you have the patience you WILL find some gems on it. Secondly I have noticed the trick is to be really specific. It really helps when you know what you're looking for. I knew I wanted a lace dress as one of my dinner looks so I typed in "sexy lace dress". If you simply type in "dress", I'm afraid you''ll be there all night or if you type in "white dress" finding something decent will be like picking a pin out of a haystack. One of my best buys on eBay is a white coat of mine that was being sold in Zara for £129 at the time. I paid £30 for mine on eBay. The EXACT same coat brand new and exact quality. I typed in "Knee length white long sleeve Zara coat", long title, I know but it saved me nearly £100 so it was worth it.

Plain Jane!

As promised, I mentioned in my last post I would blog the outfits I wore in Dubai. So here is the first one. This white Miss guided dress was worn to dinner on the first night. I originally fell in love with the Stella McCartney tuxedo dress and searched for something similar and this Miss-guided one was the closest I could find. I love the cut of the dress but wasn't so keen on the fit but then again you get what you pay for. I teamed this with a pair of gold Zara heels and a watch. If you've noticed in all my OOTD posts, I don't like to over style and over accessorize. I believe a good outfit needs no gimmicks and should speak for it self. To be honest, I'm not much of an accessory girl, wouldn't even know where to start and I'd probably end up looking like a clown, which is never cute. My watch is Michael kors and my lip paint is Lime Crime.
