Four Quarters

I've wanted this dress for ages. Ever since I saw it in a photo of a New Look press day, on a blog (I don't remember which) in, like, November. It's got a House of Holland S/S '12 vibe to it alothough that's not why I love it. I just really love the colour blocking and the bold black collar. I was so excited when I first saw it in shops, but I had to wait until payday to buy it. Then I bought it. And it sat in it's carrier bag for two weeks because I wasn't sure if I'd keep it. 

Then another week in the bag as it became my back up dress for a wedding I was going to (although I don't think it would have been dressy enough. Others disagree. Opinions??). By the time I actually put it on and wore it out, (when it was still sunny as you can tell from these pictures) my love and excitement for it was gone. The fact that it matched my shoes so well was a nice bonus, but really I feel like I should have just worn it the second I bought it like I usually do. Has this happened to any of you?

This is also my entry for the competition on LeaLeaHo to win a new blog header. Wish me luck!
