ASOS Button Detail Tie Waist Dress
I thought it was going to be shorter since it was in the main size range but thankfully it wasn't! I can handle short dresses in the fall paired with tights, but in the summer I like to be a bit more modest. This dress is definitely my favorite dress in my closet right now!
ASOS CURVE Woven Insert Tee
This is my favorite piece from my ASOS order. I saw some other reviews for this top in the past and they definitely made me curious. It really is perfection. Perfectly slouchy. Perfect length. And even though I am pretty modest when it comes to clothes and comfort, the sheerness is gorgeous and what makes this top stand out from my other purchases.
ASOS Bow Back Skater Dress
Isn't this dress darling? It was only a couple of weeks ago when I listed this in my wishlist post and I'm so happy to own it now! The only thing I don't like about this is how thin the fabric is and how flimsy it is. I can't imagine that it will be easy walking down the windy streets of Chicago without flashing someone. I also need to go bra shopping to get the fit and details perfect, but so far, I'm happy about the overall look.
ASOS CURVE Longline Boyfriend Cardigan & ASOS CURVE Forest Print Top
This might sound silly, but I already have a long grey boyfriend cardigan. I like this one a little better because the hem is curved (this is important!), but the only bummer is that it's a little big. I definitely wish I would have gotten this in the main size range, but hopefully it'll shrink a little after I wash it. The shirt is beautifully cut, but I actually wish I would have sized up so it could be a bit slouchier. Both pieces feel like quality fabrics and I'm still happy I purchased them!
I also purchased this ASOS Printed Fitted Waist Dress, but I don't have any pictures. Why, you ask? Because the fit was bananas! It's such a lovely, sweet little summer dress but the bust was way too big and the torso needed to be shortened at least two inches. Right now I'm getting it altered, as well as getting those H&M jeggings hemmed that were worn in the picture above, and a few things dry cleaned.
Longest post ever! I leave you with this, my friends:
Nice post! You're making me want to purchase from ASOS more. Maybe I should just purchase the sale items while I can, then order non-sale items later? I want the bag that looks like the Mulberry Alexa, aahhh!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and those buys are really cute! I hope it's ok to ask this, but what size do you order? The size charts confuse me to no end and you look like you have pretty similar proportions to me, so I thought I'd ask. I love the forest print top especially and the dress with the bows on the back is darling!
Keep up with the lovely blog ^_^

Gazel - I know exactly what you're talking about!! I've also been pining over that bag. My next purchase will definitely include some of their accessories.
ReplyDeleteRainbowStripe - No problem! I typically wear 16 on top and 18 on bottom in US sizes. All of the things I ordered were UK 20. Luckily for me, the blue dress and bow back dress are main size range pieces that go up to a UK 20. As far as the Curve line, like I said in the post, the cardigan was a little slouchier than I wanted and the tee was a little more form fitting than I wanted, but still all very solid pieces! The white tee was exactly how I wanted it to fit and I think a UK 18 would have been a better choice for that floral dress I didn't get a chance to show you guys.
Thanks so much! If only the shipping to New Zealand wasn't so expensive :(
ReplyDeleteAH so jealous, my Asos Curve order has not yet come in! Love all your pieces, very cute!

no matter what you wear... you always look incredibly awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteNay - Get the blue dress. DO IT. And if you're a UK 20 or under, it's on sale on the website :)
ReplyDeleteMari - ASOS is definitely worth ordering from. Like I said in my post, the shipping is reasonable and only took a week to arrive at my doorstep! And thank you so much!!
Polway - Yes! It's actually lined in velour, haha, so yeah it's straight from the 70's.
Lodi - Thank you! You really are too sweet. :)
CUTE. I LOVE the first dress... and also the bow-back one. I wonder if there's a way to DIY a dress like that?
ReplyDeleteI have way too much sewing ambition for my present skill level, lulz.
Thanks for sharing! <3
Love both the dresses, adorable :)

I'm planning to order from ASOS later today- most likely the boyfriend jeans & the exact same cardigan you're wearing. Can't wait to do so now that I've seen how great they look on you!
ReplyDeleteLovely items! Where on ASOS did you find these? Didn't come across these when browsing... those two dresses are lovely! Love them!!
ReplyDeleteSarah @ http://www.pasazz.net/blog
I'm curious about where the hems might fall on me. About how tall are you/what is your inseam?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty short! I am 5'2 and my inseam is about 27" long.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome haha ;) : I love your blog :)
