Today's Outfit: The Ivy Pattern Dress

There are only two reasons why I go shopping for a dress: to attend someone’s wedding, or to attend a work-related event. But to wear dresses on a daily basis? Nah.  I stick to pants and blouses because I feel comfortable in them.  So while I usually buy a few new blouses every month, it is very rare for me to buy a dress during my monthly shopping spree.  But when I visited Debenhams and saw the new collection from Dorothy Perkins, I couldn’t stop myself from grabbing this dress and walking over to the fitting room.

I’ve always loved Dorothy Perkins because first of all, I can find my size easily: they have big sizes for a big girl like me *Hooray* And since my height is considerably tall, I want to find a dress that is long enough without exposing 25cm of my thighs, and Dorothy Perkins has many dresses that meet the criteria of not being too short.  Another plus point!
