Can you tell New Look is generally a favourite shop of mine? I know some people think the concession stands are full of tack but I love me a quirky printed dress. If I'm needing a dress for an occasion it's where I head first! Even began spotting a few items that might be potential for graduation dress (obviously really important!). I get that fishes aren't the everyone's favourite pattern but I love a pattern that is more interesting than stripes, though the pattern wasn't obviously fish unless you were looking properly - and with the jacket covering half of it that made it difficult.
This is however actually a playsuit - I didn't even realise until I was in the changing room and managed to get completely into it before noticing the extra leg flapping about. Needlessly to say it's stretchy - mine is an 8 though I am usually a 10 exactly in New Look.
I didn't quite know how to feel about adding the lizard necklace as it added more animals (my earrings are also ducks) but being short of gold necklaces (something told me this dress wasn't compatible with silver) it was this or a butterfly. I think it worked okay in the end and it's one of those details where you'll only notice it if you're staring at it.
Finally, the jacket is also my summer staple. I'm wearing it so much right now though it took me a while to find a really good one that I liked. The Primark ones had a worn look to them so they were out, and so many in other shops were cropped at the waist but not the arms - which was at the top of the tick-box. This one has a slighty worn look to it but it's not so much that it's a focal point; it's still more smart than scruffy.
