I'm currently sat in bed at 03:22 am, fresh in from work, writing this post and watching The Good Wife. I've been a bit absent from here over the past month; I've been on holiday to Mexico and I've been super busy at work. It was such an amazing trip. As you can see below the weather was beautiful.
This is my absolute favourite dress in my wardrobe. It's the red Jenny Pin Up dress by Glamour Bunny. I have to admit, this is the sexiest I have EVER felt. This isn't the most flattering of photos either but it totally cinches you in at the waist, leaving you with the dreamiest of curves. I teamed the dress with my outstanding Dorothy Perkins heels which I bought from someone on Depop. It feels like the dress and the shoes were a match made in heaven!
This is just where we went to downtown Puerto Vallarta. Visually stunning, it was a great stroll around and we visited to some great places to eat and drink.
Okay, I'm really getting into poser mode here! Around sunset on the hotel beach, I got Jonny to snap some photos in my bargain Amazon bikini. Just search "retro bikinis" into the search bar and up comes dozens of various pin up bikinis at stupidly cheap prices! Granted, the quality isnt great, but if you're looking for a cheap retro look on holiday, these are fantastic for a one off holiday.
Chilling by the pool. We had alcohol at our disposal the whole day!
One of my favourite evening looks on my holiday. The top is the Dolores Polka top by Collectif Clothing. It's such a snug fit and I found it so comfortable and easy to get into - there's a zip down the side of the top for ease - and it perfectly compliments your torso. The high waisted shorts were another bargain from the Collectif Clothing sale.
Oop guess what?! Another Collectif Clothing sale bargain outfit. Unfortunately the shorts are sold out so I cannot link to them, as is the top. However, there is a similar style in the top still available on the website's sale.
I have to admit I was a little disappointed with this dress. The 'Deanna' dress from Lindy Bop, fits like a dream. However, after hearing amazing reviews of the site and wearing this dress just once, a couple of the buttons on the dress fell off and I decided to take them all off and wear the dress without the "buttoned" style. The dress still looked great, however, I am a little reluctant to order again. I mean, the prices on Lindy Bop ARE amazing and they are probably one of the cheapest vintage reproduction sites going. Often though, it is worth paying more for better quality.
This is the first dress I ever bought from Collectif a few months ago, Since then, I've fallen in love with them as you can see from the previous outfits,
This is the Dora Polka Dot dress and it's currently on sale on the website. It's pretty much the first dress I've ever bought where I didn't feel embarrassed about my body (yes that sounds sad and yes I do have bad body image issues about myself sadly).
The belt and shoes are both from primark :)
I'm glad to have shared some outfit posts from Mexico. I felt so pretty on this
holiday, for the first time in a long while.
