Ms Matalan

Why is there no Matalan near me? I will sulk for a bit.


Isn't this dress pretty? Kind of what I want for my graduation, but I don't want it in black. I love the corsage though, so pretty and simple; and I like the straps. I am tired of seeing idendical floral strapless prom dresses. Only £25.

I much prefer this print to the hazy, digitalised images on dresses lately. Its so delicate, called the 'Monet'. I like the pleats, and again, the straps. £20.

Cupcake shorts, £5. Adorable. NOM.

Prom Looks

To my prom, about 5 years ago I wore a long dress in a two-tone purple. I quite liked it, but I didn't love it. So if I could go back, I would change it. I thought I would indulge myself, and maybe offer some suggestions to everyone still looking to avoid a Molly Ringwald look.

ASOS.com is always a great option, with so much choice and its updated daily with new items:

Blue, white and purple florals, Coast@ASOS. £98.


Cream, brocade with a bow, £54
Strapless prom, Betsey Johnson@ASOS. £105.

Pink parachute dress, £40.
Teal silk, £105.
Purple, Grecian, £75.
Red, high-neck, Kookai @ ASOS, £69.

Pink and white, pretty skirt, Oasis@ASOS, £48.

Charcoal lace, Oasis@ASOS. £47

Classic white prom, French Connection@ASOS, £46.

Strapless florals, £39

Beauty School Dropout

Still searching for my holy grail of a full-skirted floral dress to wear to graduation. There are a lot of florals about, and a lot of 50's styles, but none have proper skirts, they all tend to be teeny-tiny mini-dresses. I had to make myself stop looking at American vintage sites, because everything was perfect and I was cursing $400 price tags.

But today in TK Maxx I found a black dress, with a chiffon skirt and netting over the shoulder, with a corsage at the neck for £3, so I am wildly smug about that. I stuck my little belt on it, and it looked much better, so even though I brought some ribbon and some braid to customise it - thats from watching Gok Wan all the bloody time - I will leave it plain and just add to it with belts, scarves. The other week I got a black satin cumberbund belt from Primark for £1, and that would probably work too. I will take a photo of it later, if anyone wants to see it?

So - anyone else who is graduating - thinking of the dress yet?

The Search Is On

Now I can focus on what's important.

My graduation dress!

I am thinking 1950's style....with a full skirt. I don't want to do the usual boring office-wear look people wear at Graduation.

I've looked everywhere online, but let me know if you have any favourite websites/ideas!
