The 'All Occasions' Dress

I bought this LBD from Coast in BT2 in 2007 (Well, my mother bought it for me- But I picked it out I swear!) I bought it for my 'Debutante Ball' from school which was in September 2007. I think it cost around 100euro which seemed like a lot of money then but now for me 100euro doesn't even seem expensive for Coast?! I never even go into that shop any more because the dresses cost so much...

I quite love the way I had my hair back when I was 18!!

A few weeks later I got the wear the dress again. This time I was in Las Vegas for my sister's wedding. (It was really classy I swear, when I tell people my sisters like to get married in Vegas they presume we're white trash!). I think this dress was perfect for the occasion. 

These are the only pictures I have and they don't even show the dress!!

Now, five years later I dug out the dress once more! This time I needed a dress for a dinner dance which was taking place after the 2013 swimming inter-varsities. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't fit into it- It was a bit tight but it fits! I think tattoos that I recently acquired give the dress a whole new vibe, it was dressy but definitely still had 'Katie's style' written all over it.

I'm probably going to wear this little black dress again on  a few more occasions- It's timeless!

My New Top Shop Dress

I bought this dress for a night out with the nerds from college. It was 42euro but it was slightly damaged so I got it for 37euro!  (It wasn't actually damaged, there was just a few loose  threads that I easily cut away). 

The description on the internet said that it has peplums (which I normally hate) but I wouldn't really call those ruffles peplums?? I really loved the coral colour and I liked how it showed off enough skin to be fun but was still classy and ladylike. I wore it with ankle boots. The one problem was that I was worried the chiffon would tear easily if I got caught it on anything. 

It was from the Wal G brand stocked in Top Shop which I would generally describe as 'casual nighttime'.  

We went to Capitol first for some cocktails and then on to Dicey's Garden where I had the most amazing burger from the bbq there at around 2am!! I had gotten my make up done earlier at the Bobbi Brown concession stand in Brown Thomas which I was really happy with.
