OOTD: Sick Girl's Diary
I'm technically bluffing.
The outfit I am showing today was from yesterday and I have another outfit from a few days ago that I have yet shown when I first got my bangs but I was eager to get my verdict on the ASOS Curve Soft Frill Belted Dress out before I forget what I want to say about it and my bangs looked so horrible in the other photos. Pardon my pale look, I was pretty down with flu, fever, cough and bodyache but I had to go back to work to take care of some stuff. To make up for my lack in spirit, I whisked out a cute dress and was very grateful that I put on a warm cover because I felt cold the entire day.
I also wanted to gush about my necklace. You can't see it up close and personal because I forgot to take a picture of it but it was my singular, most expensive buy when I was in Paris in 2009. Later, I thought I lost it for good when I lost my luggage en route to Paris from Rome but the airlines found my luggage and redirected it back to me a month later and I was so happy to have it back in my life. The engraving on the necklace says "chaque baiser est un tremblement de terre". It is a quote from Lord Byron and means something like "every kiss is a tremble of the earth". Isn't it perfectly, wonderfully romantic and sappy?! In case you are interested, the necklace is from Sandrine Ziegler.
Verdict on the ASOS Curve Soft Frill Belted Dress:I love the dress the moment I saw it. It is a gorgeous grey, it looks incredibly feminine with all the frills and the frills in turn, had a romantic notion that appealed to me. When the dress arrived, I was a little disappointed without even putting it on. Granted that I know that the dress is kind of chiffon-y and I expect it to be rather thin but the lining that was used on the inside feels like it is inferior and rather flimsy, something that I ,as a klutz, would rip apart. Fitting-wise, this dress is also a lot more snug and body-fitting. While I can say that I am able to fit into most of ASOS UK20 dresses but this is one dress that I am not confident of fitting myself into. Just as well that I got it in my usual UK22. Final verdict? This is a dress that is best bought during sales!
