Topshop || Tall Section Weekly Selections #2

Tall || Neon Animal Midi Dress || £32
    I'm not the only one who is in love with the midi-dress trend and this dress helps to prove why, moving onto more summery clothes (even though the weather disagrees) the colours in this dress scream sunshine. I don't normally like leopard prints with out there colours such a pinks and blues, but this dress in an exception. I'd love to pair this with some silver jewelry to give it a more subtle look, for day to night looks. 


Tall || Hollywood Burnout Tee || £18

    Keeping it rather simple with the shirts, is this burnout tee that can be paired with absolutely anything. When the weather does heat up I tend to become super lazy with my outfits and prefer to wear a nice baggy t-shirt with a bodycon skirt and tights or some shorts, so something like this is ideal for that job. The neutral colours help you match this off with more elaborate prints, such as floral/aztec/pleather shorts and not look other the top.

Tall || Monochrome Aztec Vest || £12

    I chose this vest for more or less the same reasons for the shirt above, however the bell cut shape is this is very appealing to me as it proportions your hips out perfectly. Girls who are body conscious over the hotter months can wear these vests and not worry about their hips looking too wide, as this cut gives the illusion of slimmer hips as it falls into a semi-circle. The print on this is also very summery, and it proves that some trends (aztec) can stay around for more than one year which is great!

Tall || Viscose Quilted Sweater || £38

    Even though all of the items of clothes bar this jumper have been summery, we do have to be realistic for the UK weather as we've been having snowfall in March which is outrageous! This guilted jumper is perfect for keeping you nice and warm on cold college mornings but is also very on trend with the quilted effect. Subtle detailing like this allows you to keep it very casual or dress it up with a chunky necklace and some slim leg patterned trousers.

Topshop || Tall Section Weekly Selections #1

Tall Polka Dot Body-con Dress || £29.00
    Thought I'd start off with a rather universal piece of clothing, and it's this navy blue body-con dress. I think these dresses are extremely flattering to all shapes, and can be dressed up and down with some tweaking of accessories! Now with this post being aimed towards Topshop's Tall Section, this dress is designed for ladies 5ft 7 and taller. I can't stress enough how hard it is to keep a dress you love without it shrinking up to your bottom after a few washes, but with extra inches added its impossible!

    The polka dot pattern is also another feature that I personally feel is universal, compared to other patterns such as strips that can make you appear a little tubbier than you actually all. Overall this dress is something I'm defiantly going to pick up on my next trip to Topshop and will be wearing it like crazy over spring/summer.

Tall Crochet Vest || £36.00
    The next item is aimed towards summer when it's getting quite warm and it's this crochet vest. I'm normally not a fan of vests even in the summer as they normally are over done with extreme patterns or are too plain. However Topshop have found the middle ground with the crochet/lace layer over the top of a plain vest. Something I quite like about this vest is that the patterned material runs past the end of the vets, translating onto maybe your shorts, leggings, jeans etc. This is a nice touch as the contrast of colour will really make the top half stand out. 

    Another thing I like about crochet material is that it is quite versatile in different heats. I'm not sure whether this happens with me personally but I find the material is able to keep me cool when it's hot and warmer when it's a bit breezy. The gaps in the thick material enable this switch in temperature, which is pretty handy to bring this piece from summer into winter later in the year. 

Tall Contrast Tee Dress || £42.00
    Next piece is another dress (I'm dress obsessed) and it's this lovely contrasting tee print dress. I remember seeing something along these lines during winter last year and never had chance to pick it up, but thankfully Topshop have brought it back for spring/summer. I really like how the prints work well together because they're both grey/white/black, where as if one was a bright, bold colour I don't think it would of worked so well. 

    Again I really love Topshop's Tall dresses because you are able to wear and keep them for a long time without them shrinking too much. I haven't put this theory into practice, but if your of average height and fancy a knee/calf length dress, I'm sure the Tall section with do you some justice without looking too frumpy. (Tell me in the comments if you've done this!) 

Tall Lasercut Waist Playsuit || £46.00
    The last item I'm really loving is this vibrant and bold playsuit. Same rules apply on how amazing the Tall section is for adding those extra inches, if you're not so happy about parading your legs about getting a Tall section playsuit is your best option. The cut of the legs rests in the middle of your thigh, showing some legs but not baring all. 

    The boldness instantly reminded me of summer and ice creams, the beach and holidays. I think this piece will be wonderful for the up-coming season, the lattice print gives the outfit some attitude allowing you to keep it plain with no accessories if it's too hot. If you want to dress it up for a night out, I would recommend gold jewellery to really make the outfit pop!
