As it is 80’s weekend, the Hollywood Wives shop has come around again.
As pinterest is malfunctioning this is a good way to fashion shop in the meantime.

Purchased 2 bags this time

The white bag matches these shoes from last time.

This matches the pink bag and looks a bit like the dress I altered from George.
Will wear it with that maybe.

Decided to shop the Balencigia look at George
This is like their T shirt dress and goes well with the pink or white handbag and white shoes.
Blue Seam Detail Short Sleeve Mini Dress

I’ve gone for size 8, but my waist isn’t small enough yet, will get the ten as well actually as it is George prices lol!!!

You can alter them easily then, without worrying lol!!!
Also I took a belt off a Pre Covid New Look dress so could put that round the waist and wear it baggy.
Think it would give it The Balenciago look.
You have to play around with fashion at the moment to get it to work.
Women’s Layered T-shirt Dress in Black
ÂŁ 1,450

Got the idea from this, which is actually a skirt, not struck on it being a bit kilt like though, prefer the George one, also everything seems to be hourglass which I’m not.

This was the closest look I thought might fit me.

Women’s Balenciaga Long Sleeve Mini Dress in Black

The George one might fit me as it doesn’t look hourglass.
Wasn’t going to get a polo neck again, but this is classic simplicity.
The other one I wondered about was a black dress
Black Shirred Poplin Midi Dress


I like this as it has Removable adjustable straps.
Hopefully it will fit, or just need a small hem putting on.
Great for summer evenings.

Not sure how you would alter this if it was too long?
The Asda one is similiar as it is a long black dress, but easy to alter and inexpensive so doesn’t have to be perfect.

Really like Balenciaga.
I only purchase items I can alter myself going by what people are saying about fashion at the moment.
Really enjoying purchasing George fashion inspired by designers anyway.
The polo dress actually looks really similar if you are a purist.
I couldn’t find a white or pink bag like the Balenciaga bag but this has similarities.
Stone Faux Leather Grab Bag

direct.asda.com/george/women/accessories/stone-faux-leather-grab-bag
The top handle, the front zip and the side leather frill are alike. It doesn’t have the designer detail though.

You could add some charms to get the look and make it look more designer. You might find a closer designer inspired bag if you shop around or look where you shop from actually.

I like these two.
Sort of struggled with shoes then remembered Balenciago do crocs
The pink ones go with the pink handbag and blue dress.
Pink Clogs

The black ones go with the polo dress

Never bought these before as thought they were too way out for me, now I’ve tried sliders though will give them a try.

Had some of these before, wore them for teaching in summer ~ really comfortable but smart for work. Got them from Next.

Conclusion
Hope you enjoyed this blog and ideas.
If you like any of these products there are colour options so worth getting in and having a browse.

(These are better for a summers day for instance)
A lot of this is black, but great for chilly summer evenings where you don’t need a coat and just want bare feet in sandals type thing. One of the advantages of sliders and guessing crocs is they are so comfortable with bare feet.
Then you need well manicured feet and toe nails.
Really pleased with finding the bag to go with the shoes, hope you like the T Shirt dress idea if you are purchasing the bag to go with the heels from last time too.
Keeping up with trends can be complicated, but now I’m studying it on WordPress and hopefully pinterest when it gets sorted, I’m finding it doesn’t have to be too whacky and it can actually be more comfortable when you give them a try.
George is a really good way of trying trends as it is so inexpensive, it has made me feel confident to try crocs next.
Have to say if you risk purchasing some from what I’m saying, I just wear them around the house at the moment anyway, it meant I could throw out some old Avon gold ones and has made my life easier.
Worth a browse, it is another shop to get you ready for summer and holidays.
The sliders, crocs and mules are obviously great for the beach also and days out to the seaside. The man in your life will love them too lol!!!
Have a lovely Sunday
