I don't usually share photos of what I wear in the evening but I thought as I celebrated my 18th last night with a party, I sort of had to show you the dress! I ordered it last week from Topshop in the sale for £35 and it is so beautiful and sparkly! I didn't want to go overboard on the whole look so I paired it with nude nails, H&M silver rings, Nars lip crayon in Red Square, an Asos oversized white blazer and some Zara heeled sandals. I'm also quite upset that Barney's sent me the wrong Alexander Wang dress... I ordered it in long but they sent me the short version which only makes me look stumpy. I don't want to pay the ridiculous £40 or so for postage all the way back to New York - this is a nightmare!

Happy Birthday! Your dress is so beautiful, such a bargain for £35. In regards to Barney's, you should call them as it's your mistake not theirs (You haven't just decided you don't want the dress). I did this with a department store and they even refunded me with postage x
ReplyDeletei really love this dress, you look gorgeous! you should email barney's and ask them to send you out the other dress and for them to pay the postage for both you sending the dress back and them sending the other one out - not your fault they did it!

Thanks Heather! I've messaged them and still awaiting their response. It seems as though the whole idea has led me to want to make my ball dress myself! Going to be a challenge but i'm excited as i've never made a single thing before.
DeleteYou look wonderful, I love your sparkly dress. And happy birthday for last week! I'm so sorry to hear about Barney's, definitely get in contact with them, it was their fault and they'll probably be happy to fix you up!
