Style Steal Postponed - Sharing my Bargain Dress.

Morning all and happy Ester Monday.
Hope your all suitable full for over-eating Easter Eggs. 😍
Today I have all the family round for roast Turkey and all the trimmings, so a table of 11 with 4 children will be tucking in possibly as we speak!  Two new additions will be spending this special day with us and I'm one happy and lucky Mummabstylish!


As today is the third Monday of the month it happens to be Style Steal day!  For a variety of reasons today's STEAL has been pushed back to Thursday so I hope you will join me then.
I had hoped some of you would send me a photo for the Copy Cat series I'm starting, but until today I've had no participents!! 😞  Please do all join in for next month - I'm sure it will be a fun opportunity to share your 'copied styles'.

Now today I wanted to show you an outfit I bought last week in the Matalan sale!  You know the scene the dress was just hanging there, in my size and being so ME I just bought it - well for £9 I'd be a fool not to!  What to you reckon on my 'bargain' cute eh?  So comfortable to wear, with a multitude of footwear to style with it - so with my animal print addiction it was a no-brainer in my eyes.



With animal print still on the scene, I figured my purchase will get plenty of wear in the coming months, also I'll be able to wear it if the weather gets cooler, by wearing a jumper over the top.
It has a gypsy style gathered hem, fluted long sleeves that a caught in at the wrisr to splay out in a flouncy cuff.  The tie neckline can also be left lose to hang in a more casual way.  I chose to tie the neck in a bow and also wore a little cami underneath as the front cross-over detail could be quite revealing.  Mine is now sold out, but I love this alternative.


I actually wore some little beige booties on Saturday which were better placed for walking about the town on our night out,  but my nude wedges would be a fabulous substitute.  Check these out!



My handbag was saved from the charity pile, it's a sturdy bag, that looks fabulous with many outfits, the reason I wanted to bin it?  It doesn't have a proper, secure fastening, I feel it could be easily accessible for unwanted hands!  But for the time being it's got a pass & has a place in the bag cupboard.



Have you bought any bargains recently?  Do let me know if you have, as I do love a bargain!

Now don't forget to stop by on Thursday for Style Steal and if you've got a Copy Cat outfit to share, please send me any pictures via my email berryjacqui38@gmail.com.

Great to have you stop by today - look forward to seeing you all again on Thursday for the #chicandstylish #linkup, and also Monday for the latest addition from the Style Not Age Ladies. x
Until then, bye for now. X

  1. Enjoy the rest of the Easter break Jacqui. I haven't posted or anything either. Took me some good earned time out. The dress was a great find and animal print is here to stay, so will look great even into the later months of the year xx

  3. This is such a pretty look. I like your hair up for a change, too. I'm so glad the dress was on the rack waiting for you! I missed your Copy Cat announcement. I have a look I was wanting to emulate from PInterest--does that count? Hope you enjoyed your Easter!

  5. Easter is such a low-key thing for me - I can't imagine feeding a bunch of people turkey!

    Love that dress - what a great, bold pattern!

  9. I know you love leopard and that leop midi dress with the two different scales of the print is BEYOND FABULOUS! Quite a steal, too! Love it. Great matchy nude bags and shoes too. Also, I am interested in your series. What exactly do you need from us the readers, a look we have copied?!

    In my latest post I talk a little bit about Michigan and its great lakes. =) Come check it out and join my Thursday Moda Linkup on Thursdays, too.

    Thanks, Ada. =)
