Retro Chick and The SuperHero Dress
Little Below the Knee Club
April 12, 2013Clearing Out My Closet
April 17, 2013Those of you who follow me on instagram would have already had a peek at this dress.
I tend to use instagram as a much more instant kind of blogging almost, so I post things on there when I get them, and then when I wear them properly they get a proper blog post! At the end of March I was innocently browsing the New Look website when I spotted this dress and had to buy it immediately. But I didn’t actually wear it out till this Friday.
❤ Pop Art Dress – New Look ❤ Jigsaw Backseam Tights – Pretty Polly ❤ Shoes – Unisa ❤
It’s a bodycon dress, and I don’t often wear anything so unforgiving, but I just couldn’t resist it, and I love the length. I actually have 2 more of these dresses in black and green, they’re comfortable, but the fabric is thinner and I haven’t been brave enough to photograph any of the times I have worn them yet.
The jigsaw backseam tights are from Pretty Polly and also made an early instagram appearance back in March before I got a proper chance to prance around in the sunshine finally and show them off properly.
The mistake I made was wearing such a tight dress out for fizz and chips at The Birdcage, this is a dress for being a Superhero in, not eating huge plates of chips in. We also got tea cakes with our supper, so we all got chance to demonstrate our origami skills with the foil. None of these were made by me, the only origami I can make is a boat/hat. (2 of these photos were borrowed from my friend ZoeSmash )
Over the weekend I also discovered these amazing shoe clips from Janine Basil via Lipstick Lori. How fabulous would these look with the Pop Art Dress?
I plan to buy a pair and dye my hair pink again for the next time I wear this dress so I can look like a proper comic book character Think pale pink curls, the Vintage Super Hero. When I finally get round to it should I do another outfit post, or are you bored of the superhero dress already?
Did you have a lovely sunny weekend where you were?

@Retrochick_uk love the dress! Think another outfit post would be fab with shoe clips and pink curls! 🙂
Love it! But how do you get such a wonderful silhouette under such a figure hugging dress? People need to know! 😉
I have big pants on and made sure I remembered to hold my stomach in for the photos 😉
I love Janine Basil. I’d be tempted to take it in to the fancy dress bracket by adding a hairband from there too 😀
That’s already occured to me. I’ve been looking up matching earrings too……

You look STUNNING. I love how the dress hugs your figure, the length is so lovely, the print so much fun… I love it 🙂 and the Pretty Polly tights are lovely.
I had a lovely weekend, it’suddenly became really warm here, but due to my back injury I stayed in and worked …. on how to rule the world hehehe. You probably don’t know this but I always have in my mind, that post you wrote about how you changed your professional life and personal life, by quitting your job, starting your website etc… and I have this thought a lot in my mind, so I’m doing a similar thing, encouraged as well by my own health and I’m working hard to start my own business and be finally happy 🙂
Huge hug Gemma xxxx
That’s amazing! Good luck with world domination! 😉
@Retrochick_uk you need some comic book tights! I got some on eBay last year!

Wow, what a fantastic dress and stockings! And you look lovely in them. The shoes are fab as well; very cool.
So you seem to dye your hair a lot? I love the platinum blonde. Does your hair take al this dying well?
Girl, all of that running is really paying off. You look fab!
