Review: In Love With Fashion Gingham Dress

I was kindly sent a dress to review from In Love With Fashion (through EtailPR), honesty as always, to see my disclaimer, click here. I have never tried anything from In Love With Fashion before but a lot of their items are worn by celebrities and reality tv stars. 

I have the *In Love With Fashion Black and White Gingham Shift Dress (£30) in the size S, Small. I am a UK 6/8 in dresses and this dress is fine on the top half of me but it is a bit big on the lower half - on the hanger it looks quite big. If you are thinking of getting this dress then just get what your normal size would be but it may be slightly oversized. 

I do not have anything in this gingham pattern - I haven't since primary school but it is so popular right now and I love monochrome anyway! The dress feels well made, it is made of a fairly thick fabric but it is definitely not too thick for spring. The print is really nice and the fit is fine. The one thing I do not like about the cut of the dress are the sleeves - they are short cap sleeves which I personally hate! So I had to wear my Promod faux leather jacket with it, I don't think I would wear it without a jacket or cardigan. I paired the dress with my *Oroblu tights which are incredibly soft and comfy & my Asos ankle boots which I have worn to death!

Overall, I love the print, it is made well and it is so on trend but I do not like the cap sleeves and it is a little big on me - but the length is great and I am petite. I would recommend this dress and I would like to try more items from In Love With Fashion, although a lot of pieces are not really to my personal taste. I would rate this dress, ★★★★☆ 4/5. 

Have you tried anything from In Love With Fashion? What do you think of this dress and trend?

In Love With Fashion Competition

In Love With Fashion are currently holding a giveaway whereby you can win £30 to spend on their site. In Love With Fashion believe that you should always wear an item more than once and being able to transform your summer clothing into autumn/winter outfits is a great money saving idea. Send your blog post entries via facebook and you can share your entries via twitter. Email lfa@inlovewithfashion for examples and to send your entry. Closes 7th November. Also write a small description of your outfits/theme. 

Outfit One: This outfit comprises the Cream Cropped Cable Knit Jumper (£28) that is in all three outfits. The aim of the competition was to find items that you can use with numerous outfits. The jumper comes in a white and grey shade too. I paired the jumper with a Zara like skort were it looks like a skirt but it is a pair of black smart shorts. The Black Wrap Shorts are priced at £32.  I like the casual jumper with a pair of smart, formal shorts. I think this outfit would look great with a pair of formal but sexy heels, such as these ILWF Triple Buckle Chunky Heel Shoes (£30). You could add nude or thin black tights. A simple but smart outfit. 

Outfit Two: Again the same jumper but this time over the Pink Floral Summer Playsuit (£36). Adding a chunky knitted jumper over a floral summery playsuit gives the more summery items in your wardrobe a new lease of life. Team with Nude Suede Platform Shoes (£10, sale) or even with black biker boots! Rose gold jewellery would look great with this look. 

Outfit Three: My favourite outfit! Make the cute cream jumper a bit more edgy with a gorgeous White Tartan Shift Dress (£30). Tartan is a massive trend right now and I think this dress would look great with the cream jumper over the top. Add some black biker boots and thick black tights this outfit would look amazing! 

There are my outfits, my theme is: girly turned grungy and making more summery clothing into outfits that you can wear during the autumn and winter with a few additions x
