Alexa Chung Inspired

The problem I have about being besotted with Alexa Chung’s style is that at a size 10/12 (because of my annoying large boobs) I can’t wear a lot of what I’d want.

Chung has this indie/hipster (she’ll no doubt hate me for saying that) style that makes A-Line dresses one of the must haves to mimic her carefree image. Having smaller boobs, she doesn’t seem to have the same problem that I do - they aren’t easily sculpted around.

Whilst walking around The Clothes Show Live in Birmingham, this cute little dress captivated my attention on a small boutique stall amongst the vintage section. Cee Cee London was the designer and her clothes rails were filled of pastel coloured shirts and dresses with a few pairs of shorts thrown in there for good measure.

I knew I had to have this dress and couldn’t believe my eyes when the price tag said £25. I thought it’d be a dress Chung would be proud of and I knew that I’d seen something similar on her.

I love the black trim around the colour and against the gold buttons down the centre and I am a sucker for chiffon. The pleated skirt balances out of hips to my boobs and with a little black belt it cinched in my waist to make me look that much thinner. I also love the thinning of the chiffon around the shoulders to show just a hint of skin.

Now, being a size E, my boobs didn’t exactly get lost amongst the tight material, but I do still love this dress. I know it’d look a lot better if half of my boobs fell off, but I do not qualify for a boob reduction and I’ve been complimented on it too many times to want to change anything about it.

I may not look as good as Alexa Chung, but I know that there are styles out there that I can get away with.

Love,

A xo.
