Time To Play Dress Up

A month or so ago I was a blogging virgin, I am still a little rough around the edges but I think I'm ready to move forward from cutting and pasting pictures of clothes that I would recommend for this season from Topshop's website, commenting on Vogue's latest issues and creating a few creative one liners along side (Shoes Glorious Shoes, Handbags and the Gladrags, Who wears THE trousers, As Good As Gold, just to name a few.) I want to move on and talk about how the economy, politics etc affects each season in the fashion industry, show this season's trends through other media such as photography & branch out to other brands other than Topshop (I know, what a shocker!)

See, I enjoy progressing which is why I left my relatively well paid job as a waitress to become a sales adviser at Topshop. Why? Because my other job had no future, no training, no career development. It may not be much but for the first time in years, I enjoy my job. I love looking at the new lines coming in every week, the new trends, dressing the mannequins & helping people put together outfits. It may not sound much but I think it's a great base for my future career. To become an editor, you need many qualities, qualifications and experience. I'm passionate about the fashion industry & magazines, very career driven and optimistic; I always aim high. You may have a degree & experience but what makes you stand out from the crowd is passion for what you do, drive & ambition. Let's see, I may make it, one day.

But, for now I'm going to show you a few must-have dresses. And don't worry, I'll be moving on soon.



The most beautiful, lace embroidered one shoulder dress; wearing it makes you feel like a fairy princess. Can be dressed up or down in a denim jacket & wedges.









Plain & simple but comfy & summery. Comes in many different colours; black, white, red, grey, yellow, beige...you name it we've got it.










Delicate floral sundress. OK, so I may be biased to the past three seeing as I own every one of them but you have to agree, they are certainly must-haves.








What I call an Ariel dress. OK, so it's not exactly the same but the shape reminds me of the little mermaid's shipwreck dress with the overlapping top half & belt around the waist. These style dresses are very popular this season.



And there you have it. I'm going to cover a tinsie-winsie more must-haves such as hair accessories, tees, cardis and we'll see how it goes from there.
