MONKI DRESS // LINZI HEELS* // OASAP NECKLACE* // MISS SELFRIDGE BELT // CASIO WATCH

I bought this dress from Monki just before I went away on holiday, and absolutely adore it. It's actually very long and sack-like without the belt, but the print is to die for and and the colours are perfect for the awkward summer-to-autumn transition that is fast approaching. I was reading a blog post on Frankie's blog (check her out her style is amazing) last night where she mentioned how it's annoying when bloggers wear outrageous 'hypothetical' outfits with killer heels and act like it's what they wear on a daily basis (read it here); I was literally reading it thinking "AMEN TO THAT", and then today I completely contradicted myself by wearing these badass platforms in this post! Needless to say I would not be wearing these heels for a trip down to the Post Office (to be honest I rarely wear heels even if I'm going 'out out'); realistically I'd team this dress with a pair of creepers or my platform Converse, but I just really wanted to show you all these shoes because I think they're fab. In general I don't think I do a bad job of showing you all what I actually wear on a daily basis, as I do try my best to take photos of outfits on the days I'm actually wearing them, rather than just playing dress up and putting together things that I would never really wear in public! Having said that, it is fun to throw on some heels and post some more dressed up ensembles every once in a while. What are your opinions on the subject? Do you like reading blogs showing genuine, day to day style, or do you find that slightly dull, and prefer to read the more outrageous, editorial, magazine-shoot-esque posts? I'd be interested to know!
