A little bit of AX PARIS love

Well not a little bit of love but a huge amount actually! I was asked to review an item from their online store ... and at first I thought that this isn't for me - mum of 2, work from home and sliding towards 40 very quickly. I loved a lot of the clothes but they were either too short or too young for me (yes I know age is but a number!) but no-one needs to see my butt as I bend over is said too short skirts and dresses.

I wanted to try this dress but it was going to be too short for me when I looked at the length of the dress, shame because it's gorgeous.

Colour Clash Paisley Dress - £30

I absolutely LOVE the pattern of this, it's so fresh but I don't get on with strapless dresses (another downside of having no boobs! When I wear a strapless bra (that I don't ever fill) the dress then gets sucked into it and looks bizarre - anyone else have this?

Floral Elasticated Strapless Dress - £22

It comes as a maxi dress also, but again, same issue with strapless bra and dress sucking in (I'm also wondering if the model is shorter than I am and how on earth anyone would actually wear this - it looks very long/too long.)

Floral Elasticated Strapless Maxi - £28

Since I last looked at their site they have added two dresses that I might have to buy - I am starting on a path of OBSESSION with yellow after seeing so much on Treasure N Pleasure

Floral Elasticated Strap Dress - £30

And this is my ultimate favourite - absolutely stunning and a total bargain at £30

Yellow Crochet Dress - £30

Let's get to me, after all this is my blog!  If you notice what I wear daily on Avenue 57 you will notice I have a lot of grey in my wardrobe, I have a 'thing' for grey and so this dress JUMPED out at me when I was looking at the 100s of dresses online.  Here is the midi dress modelled by someone who hasn't had children* (*I don't know that for a fact, I'm just assuming)

Floral Scoop Neck Midi Dress - £20

Here I am in my dress - I wore it for errands on Saturday during the day and literally swapped heels and added a necklace for the evening - a totally versatile dress and one that I am excited to be able to wear again very soon. I won't lie to you, I am wearing spanx and they did NOTHING for me when I sat down to eat a very large supper with friends on Saturday night - I'm just pleased I was able to strategically place the napkin over my stomach!

Have you ever tried a midi? Have you totally discounted them? I urge anyone to try one just to see. What I love more than anything about this style of higher neck jersey dress is what it does to my boobs (those non boobs I keep bleating on about!). I am wearing just a padded bra from New Look (the same style I wear every day) but for some reason I look very Dolly Parton (for me anyway!). I also am on a personal challenge to get a boob shot in at least once a week - I know Avril loves them :-)

Day Look with converse

Was a tad nippy first thing so made it even more casual with scarf and denim jacket

 Evening Look - add bling and heels and away you go!

Have you looked on AX Paris recently/at all/ever? They have good bags and jewellery too.
