Today is my 32nd wedding anniversary. It only seems like yesterday I was planning my wedding. Five children, two grandchildren, two dogs, four houses, umpteen cars, plenty of holidays and a lifetime of happy events, all shared with my gorgeous hubby. My oh my how the years seem to go by quickly!
Maybe he will be taking me out for a special anniversary meal, but let's just wait and see.
If he does, I've got just the dress to wear! Have you heard of ASOS?
I purchased this ASOS dress last year, happy that they proved a point back in 2017. Being familiar with this company and assumed (wrongly) that their clothes were only for young girls, probably because my daughters' bought so much of their wardrobe from them, how wrong I was! You don't have to be young and carefree to wear these clothes!
Spotting two dresses on the website for my trip to Abu Dhabi and was enchanted by both of them. I neglected to get any decent shots of this pretty chiffon dress, so thought this the perfect opportunity to get some. I can't decide if it's yellow or lime green, but whatever it is I like it!
How pretty is this style though? The frill compliments the hem line, which I hasten to add is the perfect length for me - chic and elegant and feels very feminine too.
Picking out the orange flower with a borrowed bag from my daughter.
These T bar sandals really are great to wear & being gold and sparkly they look super with so many of my dresses, I love wearing them as I feel like they are my dancing shoes. I'm getting braver by the week, mixing different colours and textures of my accessories - that "matching shoes and bag" is almost a thing of the past!

Ahh thank you Darlene. Glad you like this dress, hope you find something there. x
DeleteYou look like a ray of sunshine in this and I've heard of ASOS. It happens to be one of my favorite online places and I just bought a dress from their "Made in Kenya" line. I am going to try and support that line of clothes from them because at least they are trying to do something as far as the sustainable and Fair Trade issues.
ReplyDeleteMy best prints come from ASOS and your yellow print is no exception. So ASOS over 50? Well, my dear, it is ASOS at 68-yep just had my birthday on July 3rd so its just a matter of attitude isn't it?
Happy Anniversary a day late! I did link up with my April Madden upcycled top from an Indian Sari.
Take care, jacqui
Hi there Teresa, thanks for stopping by today. So pleased you like this site. I seem to be late to the party with this one, and lots of bloggers already shop there - lol. x
DeleteI absolutely love this. I need to start looking in Asos
ReplyDeleteI defo would urge you to Hilda, thanks so much. x

Too kind, thank you Amy. x Have a super week.
DeleteHope you had a fab anniversary, congrats to you both. Yellow florals bring joy to the world, IMHO and your chiffon and frills add fresh sprinkle to the look.
ReplyDeleteHave to fess I became just a little hooked on the reader's pics section on the ASOS site a few years ago, so inspirational, so I stay well away now!
Hugs, x.
Thank you so much Mary, you always so something lovely. x
DeleteSuch a stunning dress! I love Asos - I spend far too much money there! I hope you had a wonderful wedding anniversary :-) Thanks for linking up!

DeleteYou look beautiful in this dress. It's so unique and I love the color and shape of it on you. ASOS is a fabulous place to shop, but I have trouble with their sizing a lot of the time.

DeleteYou look great in that dress. It's fun and flirty. I can totally see dancing and twirling in it.

DeleteI love a floaty dress and this one is so beautiful! I have several pieces from ASOS and have absolutely no issue about shopping at stores targeted at a younger demographic...American Eagle is currently one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteDebbie

Yep I do too, wish I could wear them all the time! I will have a look at American Eagle, I know my daughter likes their stuff! Thanks for stopping over. x
DeleteYes, that is very much a celebration dress. Whatever color it is, it's perfect. The orange bag was such a smart accent color. I have not shopped ASOS, yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments - very kind. x
DeleteHappy Anniversary! That dress is perfect to celebrate your wonderful life together! It's a beautiful, happy color!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Laure. Appreciate you stopping by today. x

And do you know the linkup of my blogging friend Maren? https://farbwunder-style.blogspot.com/2018/07/colour-of-month-juli-2018-gelb.html Her "color of the month July" is yellow, so your post would fit perfectly to her linkup!
