Hello! I quickly ordered a few things from
ASOS that I'd had my eye on in the sale, on Sunday night. They arrived on Tuesday and I made a quick video of me opening the box for the big reveal (!) but it was crap! So I went with pictures instead, haha! Actually not of everything (a mix of timing and me taking rubbish photos), but there's one item in particular I wanted your opinion on...
...these nude patent and suede 'Powertrip' courts with frosted perspex heel. When I first tried them on, they were really tight (quite a hard shoe) and I took the first set of images. I had already decided by this point that I'd be returning them and possibly not even exchanging them for a bigger size.
However when I tried them on properly the second time, they fitted a lot better and I changed my mind again! They're quite cute aren't they? Possibly not 'amazing' enough for me to keep, but I'd like your opinions anyway. Also do you all change your mind this often about stuff you buy? You love it, then it arrives and it's not quite as you expected or doesn't fit and you immediately change your view...I do that ALL the time.
The other pair I got, were the black suede 'Pure' courts. Remember I bought them in tan leather aaaages ago, then sent them back because they were too big and ASOS hiked the prices back up and pissed me off so much I didn't replace them? Anyhoo, I decided at £28 with an extra 10% off, it wasn't to be sniffed at. They are super cute, slender and a nice not too scary high platform and heel. Black, could be considered a bit boring, but great for wearing with busy prints or coloured tights. I'm sure I'll wear them a lot, so I reckon they're a keeper.
I also got 2 dresses from the Curve range. The black one is really interesting and I love items with unusual hems like this. Unfortunately that's where my love for it stops. The bodice isn't fitted or shaped at all really and with my big boobs, it just didn't do anything for me. I loved the hem, but there were massive scoops of fabric, hitched up to the waist that just added bulky curves that I didn't really need.
I love the devore fabric and think it could've been saved with a better fit on the bodice, but even with a belt it looked unflattering. So, this one is definitely going back.
This maxi dress, was a last minute purchase (yes that's it's peeking out in the images of the Powertrip shoes above). The images on the website didn't really appeal to me, but the accompanying video completely sold it. I personally wouldn't wear it off the shoulder, so that's probably why. It's really pretty in person. I'm sort of undecided on how flattering it is though. I thought it looked great in the mirror, but the photos made me look really booby and curvy (which
I am, so I'm not sure why I'm debating that...)! I reckon it's a keeper though, although are we actually getting summer weather this year or just this changeable crap?
