BETTER THAN BRANDY MELVILLE?

 

My blogging game has not been very good recently, I wouldn't necessarily say I'm experiencing bloggers block, but I am definitely not feeling the same motivation as normal. It's July, it's like 15 degrees and it's raining, let's use this crap weather as an excuse for my lack of blogging, why not?

(Don't let this scare you off, I promise the magical wonders of blogging will enlighten me again in the next couple of days).

Meanwhile, I was lucky enough to be sent a couple of gorgeous pieces from DressLink. I have to admit, the shipping did take quite a while (possibly tilting just over that one month time period), but when my package eventually arrived, I saw why it was worth the wait.

 

The first item which I was gifted was this gorgeous ribbed-caged-back crop top. I've seen these all over the internet, with Brandy Melville being the only (but bloody expensive) place where I could find them to purchase. The quality of this top took me by surprise, the material on the front is double layered (sorting out that awkward no-bra situation), and the straps are adjustable, meaning that this top can be for those of you with smaller or larger upper bodies.

 

In the photos above, I showcased this top by pairing it with my denim Topshop shorts, oversized Fat Face cardigan (thanks mum!) and gorgeous necklace from Happiness Boutique (see full review here). However, I feel that this top would fit perfectly under a see-through (possibly mesh) flowy T-Shirt, or even a backless top to allow the caged effect to be seen.

 

The second thing which I was gifted was a dress, admittedly, it was very flattering, however it was extremely small. (Small enough to not cover my bottom, hence why no photos are making an appearance). If you were to buy this dress (link here), I would recommend you go a size up, to prevent the problem I had.
 

Aside from this outfit, I have been awfully naughty and spent quite a lot over the last couple of months, so if any of you want to see a haul kind of post, let me know in the comments below.
