Asos Curve Haul - How Many Items Do You Need To Call It A Haul?

Anybody know? I don't know if three items is enough to consider it a haul.

I didn't think I was going to get this up as soon as I did but I accidentally fell asleep at 3pm and woke up at 10pm so I thought it was the perfect time to write a blog post.

Three dresses, all dresses I had been drooling over for a while but for two of the three kept going out of stock in my size and all that jazz. Another, I was contemplating and then decided not to get and then I saw Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter post a photo on Instagram with her wearing it that I finally decided to just do it, I blame my shopping addiction on other bloggers that make me need things!

Lets get crackin' with the "haul".

First item was the Asos Curve Wallpaper Print Dress, I am not sure what this retails for but I bought it from an Ebay seller for about $30, not to shabby. I had never seen this dress when it was on the Asos website and then all of a sudden I was seeing it everywhere on blogs so I had to get it, and get it I did!

Pretty right? The only problem I have is that the size I purchased was a UK22 which isn't my size. I can wear UK20 - UK22 usually so it is no surprise to me that it is a bit big on me. I thought better being too big than too small, I can take it in. The only issue with taking it in though is that the zipper is on the side so it will be a little more complicated than just taking in under the arms.

Pattern, gorgeous! Colours, gorgeous! Potato Sack shape, not so much. I feel like with a bit of careful nipping and tucking that it will be a beautiful dress! The fact that its pleated also makes the taking in part a tad more difficult, but I will either move the zip to the middle back and put some darts in under the arms or take it to a professional.

Let me know what you think? Rate it or hate it?

Item number two, the Dolly Skater Paisley Print Dress, was a dress I overlooked when it was on the Asos site because the colours were depicted as being much more paler than what they actually are. I fell in love with this dress when I saw it on a blog (have no idea which one) and decided that I wanted it. Asos had unfortunately sold out of my size but when I went on the site last week for the sale it was up again and only had my size, talk about fate!

I paid $45.55 for this dress, another great purchase. I didn't realise how puffy it was though and I feel like it makes me look a lot bigger than I actually am not only is it pleated but the lining has tulle starting on the sides and around the back, this could be taken out though. Also, its a UK22 but does need some darts under the arms to reduce the size a little bit. This is the item I am considering returning. Let me know what you think.

I think I have said everything that is to be said about this item.. Other than the problems I have outlined above, I do love this dress.

Now onto item number three, at a whopping $78! The Skater Dress in Summer Blurred Floral! I loved this dress when I first saw it but couldn't justify spending that much money on it. So I didn't get it and all was well. Then I saw Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter put a photo on Instagram of her wearing it and I had to get it. The fabric was said to be a stretch one so I got it in a UK20, and I think other than the straps being a little long, it fits perfectly!

Also, the fabric is not what I was expecting, its quite slippery and shiny.

Many people who have blogged about this dress have described it as looking like a Monet painting. I think its absolutely beautiful and summery. Quite ironic that I am buying summery clothes since in Australia, its winter time and absolutely freezing and miserable!

Ahh, so spectacular, a bit short though.

 And that is when Emma became unafraid of wearing colour!

I think its funny that none of the items that I bought were monochrome.. Considering I usually steer clear of colours in my wardrobe, maybe I am evolving.

Let me know what you think of the items in this haul, if you own any of them etc.

I hope you have all had a lovely day!

Happy Blogging my Lovelies xo
