I am quickly turning into a Live Unlimited groupie! I decided not to buy a new dress for the Christmas party this year, instead I wore the spectacular black and white Live Unlimited dress, from their first collection. I wore that dress here and have worn it numerous times since, it's a dress that frequently rescues me from 'having a wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear' syndrome!
Here is a picture from the first time I wore this dress:
Our first Wedding Anniversary was on the 30th of December and since I was so good not buying a dress before Christmas I thought I would treat myself to a nice new frock.
I had been stalking the blue and green jewel tones of the latest Live Unlimited collection on the Evans website:
Anyhow Christmas was very busy and I left it a bit too late to order online (and lets face it I hate ordering clothes on line!), so I thought I'd pop to my local Evans store and see if I could try any on. My nearest store is Newbury, alas when I got there I found they were closing which I am gutted about (but I'll save you the shopping in stores rant for now). They didn't have any of the above, but they did have an older gem in the sale. It is this beautiful purple dress with a sparkly underneath and an expertly draped chiffon overlay. I am wearing the size 26/28, which seemed like it might be a bit big, but it was worth the try on as it fits pretty well.
The low back on this dress (in contrast to the high front) is also gorgeous, it felt very sexy to wear. It's one of those dresses which expertly covers and skims the body whilst still being a sexy cut.
The colour of this dress matched the heels of my irregular choice wedding shoes so well, and it was a great opportunity to wear them again.
We went to a spa hotel in the New Forest (Careys Manor and Senspa), for an afternoon in the Spa, followed by dinner, bed and breakfast. It was a relaxing afternoon followed by an exceptional dinner. It was an indulgent treat but our stay felt luxurious, so it was well worth it.
