Today I'm Wearing: Primark Jersey Midi Dress

Today I'm Wearing: Primark Jersey Midi Dress
Primark Jersey Midi Dress

Today I’m wearing my brand new Primark Jersey Midi Dress. I’ve been looking for one like this for what feels like forever so when I saw this last week on my little Primark Haul, I couldn’t believe it! It’s made from super soft jersey so it’s really comfortable to wear and fits perfectly. I had to resist buying it in every colour, so opted for grey and black - wardrobe staples for me.

Being petite I’m normally fairly choosy when it comes to midi dresses, a lot of the time they’re far too long and end up drowning me, so when I tried this on I was pleasantly surprised by how well it fit. It’s the perfect dress for a lazy Sunday lounging around the house, or worn with a blazer for more of a smart casual look which is what I opted for today.

I paired it with my Topshop Crop Back Collarless Blazer and Glamorous PU Studded Boots and headed into town. I start my new job next week so I thought it wise to a pick up a few bits I needed prior to starting. I bought some new Filofax pages (better late than never) including some gorgeous lavender ruled notepaper and a shiny new pen – I’m such a stationary nerd. I picked up a new pair of black Topshop Leigh Jeans as my current pair are getting a little scruffy, and some gorgeous ankle strap heels that I’ve been coveting for weeks. I think I’ll be wearing them out for dinner come Valentines Day!
