Chi Chi Florence Dress

I'm a girl that loves the colour pink. Pink lipstick, pink handbags - I even have a pink Macbook case. Part of me believes it was my childhood obsession with my pretty pink Barbie doll that sparked the passion for the colour and when I saw this dress from Chi Chi clothing I thought it looked like something a Barbie princess would wear and evoked memories of my favourite childhood dolls.

Pictured is the Chi Chi Florence dress with a lace bodice and mesh skirt. The skirt is fully lined and includes netting to add a vintage, swing dress vibe. The pastel pink is bang on trend and button up back adds pretty detailing and oozes femininity. Admittedly, I do find this dress a little bit too full on for the day time, but it makes a great cocktail or evening style outfit. The sizing on this particular Chi Chi dress comes up slightly small as I am usually a size 8 - 10 and the size 10 is a little bit tight. If you're self conscious about your dress size and don't want disappointment, I'd order a size or two bigger than you usually are and take note of the size guide. My motto is that I would rather be a size bigger and have the dress look fitted, than be a size smaller and look like I have squeezed into something. If an outfit fits right, it can often make you look smaller in the end anyway.

The dress is available from Chi Chi clothing* and retails at £49.99.
