So, I’ve just been perusing ASOS, as you do, and I have come across this shirt/dress. It’s got me a little confused. On first inspection I was a bit “What the deuce?“, Then I quite like the cut but then started thinking again “But, WHY?!”
Now, I’m going to reserve judgement by saying I don’t hate it… You?
So it’s about time I graced you with something, and yes it is a dress. I know, I’m thinking that maybe I should just change the name of this blog to “Dresses with Dots, Spots and Stripes”, but, obviously, that would limit me a little.
I give you this offering from Matalan. It’s not my favourite place to shop, but they sent me a 25% off voucher in the mail, so I thought it was worth gander. There was also some cute spotty shorts there too, but with only one size left it seemed a bit cruel (and disappointing for me) to feature them.
This is a really nice summer dress, casual but pretty. Add a belt and it would look fab and I’m thinking big chunky wedges.

I’m guessing our little flurry of “summer” will happen again sometime in the future. When that time does arrive, (or you get away to warmer climes) how about this nice Stripe suntop from Topshop? Perfect with mostly everything, and perfect for hiding tums.
As beautiful as it is to me, I don’t think the bust on this would accommodate me very well, damn me and my big chest!

I found these delightful Mary-Jane style platforms on the schuh Iphone app last night. I knew exactly what I had to do with the information. Show you.
I like these. Why wouldn’t I? The spots are the icing on the cake for these shoes. Chunky heels, mary-jane style and platforms. Ooooh, yeah.
At £75, they’re a tad bit of an indulgence. But just look at them, they’re purrrrdy.

*** As a Shoe Challengette, I feel it is my duty to make sure you are aware of the situation at Shoeperwoman.com, beware of imposters folks. Amber is the one and only Shoeperwoman round here! Don’t get drawn into the imposter’s ugly shoe haven. No one likes a copy cat. Don’t let her steal Amber’s hard work and livelihood.
Sorry to break the silence. I know it’s been quiet for a bit, you’re missing your fix arn’t you? Ok here you go, New Look have added some new polka dot clutch bags. In black and coral with a cute little bow on the front.
I’ll be honest, I’m not a clutch bag fan. Mostly because they just don’t fit enough in. But, I do like like these.
Yeah, I know. This skirt, it’s a bit… over the top with the rope isn’t it? It’s like they were intentionally trying to make it look like a sack that was actually discovered on a ship; or, you know, sails. (That last one might be more likely.)
The other reason I think this skirt is hideous, and please remember my last offering from Boohoo, the mis-matched stripe pattern. I really don’t think it’s that hard to match a pattern correctly? huh? #
Tell me, do you like this?
I’m sorry, I know I keep posting dresses. They keep offering them and they’re always beautiful – I cannot resist. So, will you forgive me? Can we still be friends? Ok then, I’ll continue.
This one is more casual. Red and white stripes, a particular weakness of mine. The bias cut is really quite appetising and the buttons, to me, add utter cuteness. Plus, it’s only £25.00 from Topshop online right now.

I hope to provide a dose of polka dots, spots and stripes in fashion, homewares and anything else that comes up!
