The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Boohoo let down!

05/09/2016

Good morning internet friends! It’s been a couple of weeks and I’ve finally got a week of annual leave to catch up on life and have a well needed break!
So here we are, another blog post and a mini online shopping disaster.
So as a bit of background, every September we have a staff awards ceremony that’s a black tie event and I was on the hunt for an evening dress to wear. Last year I ended up wearing a lovely black dress from Boohoo, however there were 2 other girls there wearing the same dress and I didn’t want the same to happen again.
A sucker for boohoo, I went hunting again and found the below dress;

I fell in love and at just £22 added it to my basket. Next up I found a cute pair of metallic flats that I could wear with it and added them to my order (along with some nipple stickers that I’m yet to try, not sure how I feel about them!)

Looking back, the shoes look very tacky but I was hoping for the best.
So with free next day delivery, my order came on Sunday morning and I pulled everything out of the bag. First up, in real life I hated the colour of the dress. I don’t know if it’s because I’m the palest I’ve ever been (Thailand in November can’t come soon enough!), but the colour looked cheap and tacky. I haven’t got a picture of me wearing it as it wasn’t very flattering and showed probably a bit more boob than I’d like readily available on the Internet, so I took one of it on the hanger;

It’s bluer than the picture online (may have looked better after a good iron) and was made in such a weird way to wrap around.
I hated it and was so disappointed with boohoo for bad clothes colouring again. I’ve added a picture below of the shoes, just for shits and gigs (which were a light gold colour IRL not silver like the website showed)

The reason for this post is that I’m making a big step in my online shopping life, I’m returning something!!
May the hunt continue!
Until next time…

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
