A YEAR ON FROM DYEING ‘THE DRESS’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ A YEAR ON FROM DYEING ‘THE DRESS’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pretty much the OG CMBH. Here I am wearing it at home, very different to how I as wearing it last year! This dress got a LOT of press, and I got a fair bit of coverage when I dyed it. But that’s not why I love it. Alongside it being a brilliant dress which works for different body shapes, sizes and ages; this dress meant:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🩸over £6K was raised for @freeperiods by WEAR THE DRESS DAY. The day was celebrated with a brilliant event and panel I spoke on, alongside the wonderful @amikageorge , @renieddolodge , @tobyandroo and @fayeeo who it was an honour to meet, hosted by @glamouruk (and the brilliant organisers @gem_abbott and @imbeingerica too) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😍 yes she gets her own paragraph - I met the dreamboat @fayeeo behind @hot4thespot who is a GOOD HUMAN ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ♻️ more people learnt to upcycle by dyeing this dress rather than binning it when it became ‘common’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙌 I managed to encourage more people to dress for themselves, which is ultimately why I have this account ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So yes, it was a ‘moment’, and yes, Zara has a lot to do when it comes to fast fashion. But some real good and positivity came of this dress and ‘everyone’ having it. Which is brilliant, really. This dress had much more fun last year when it wasn’t in lockdown, and I hope it’ll see that fun again soon. Realising it’s been a whole year since this dress has made me really reflective too! Since then I’ve had a new job, new flat but still this lovely bubble of people on Instagram being brilliantly supportive - so if you’ve been here for the last year, thanks for sticking around and being great 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me: Do you own the dress? Did you dye it? Did you own it but now don’t have it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #clothesmyboyfriendhates #thatzaradress #freeperiods #polkadots #baggydress #fashionblog #Manrepeller
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT DAD SANDALS? Is that even WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT DAD SANDALS? Is that even what they’re called? Or dork sandals as me and my mum call them? These got an ‘absolutely NOT’ from the boyfriend but I love them. They’re @johnlewisandpartners (popped a link on my stories) and are soo comfy. I’ve also lusted after many a @teva and @arizona.l.o.v.e pair too. They’ve been perfect for long coastal walks this weekend, as well as for pottering around town, much to my boyfriend’s dismay. I’ll share some of my fave accounts who rock a chunky sandal on my stories too!

Oh these matching pyjamas are definitely #clothes Oh these matching pyjamas are definitely #clothesmyboyfriendhates. I’m not sure if it’s cos they’re matching (and matching my phone case); the pattern; or the fact I am wearing them on repeat that he hates. They’re so comfy though. Something I’ll miss when life goes back to ‘normal’ is being ready for bed, make up off, skincare routine done and in some jazzy pyjamas at 9pm. As much as I LOVE an early night I probably only used to have one once a month or so. Having a (busy) full time job, this wonderful account, and various other bits to keep me busy I probably didn’t take enough time to just *chill*. That being said I am also very ready for a big night out / rosé on the beach somewhere hot at lunchtime / just an after work beer. For now I’ll stay in these dreamy jammies and watch desperate housewives with a tea ✌️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These PJ bottoms were a PR sample from @lesgirlslesboys , I loved them so much I bought the matching top. My phone case was a PR sample from the wonderful @peggyandsam , it’s a tough case and I love it - perfect for clumsy people like me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #clothesmyboyfriendhates #lesgirlslesboys #pyjamastyle #pyjamas #sleepwear #fashionblog #sleepfashion #Manrepeller
As you all know, spotty baggy dresses with trainer As you all know, spotty baggy dresses with trainers are usually #clothesmyboyfriendhates but a two year old said I was a princess whilst wearing it which he agreed with so this ones a winner!

Went for my daily walk in my nightie ‘but it doe Went for my daily walk in my nightie ‘but it doesn’t look like you’re going out in a nightie, it just looks like one, y’know?’ - I’ll take that as a win. I’ll link this on my stories as it’s in the sale and dreamy. Pearl straps and jewel print - what more could you want!? Will wear with a t shirt under it in spring too, and a roll neck in winter👌 And yes, I am working on getting my chest the same colour as my arms and getting rid of the watch strap tan line 😂 #clothesmyboyfriendhates ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ootd #nightie #slipdress #printeddress #london #londonfashion #fashionblog #ootn
