This outfit has a funny story behind it. For my hen do, and for everyday leading up to my nuptials, I wanted to wear white. Hmm...!! Think of it as a cleansing before I embarked on a new set of experiences, challenges, and memories. However, instead of stocking up on white in my past life, I was busy filling my closet with its opposite--black. I couldn't find anything I liked in white, and when I did, the garments were ridiculously expensive or ridiculously conscience crushing. EMERGENCY!!!!

Ring Ring...Syreetz, I need a dress and I need one NOW!!! Ok, well I asked a bit more politely, but my only option was to phone a friend, who I knew had white dresses. Syreetz sent me photos of options and I saw this beauty, which I thought I would give a go. As soon as I slipped this ASOS Bodycon Midi on, I knew this was it. 

Usually, Emma and I share our closets, and although we are far apart, we still do this. I have loads of her winter clothes, and she has....uuummmm....well, I have loads of her winter gear :-). It is a great way to extend your wardrobe with your besties or good friends.
