Dress - Dorothy Perkins

Tights - UK Tights

Shoes - Peacocks

I got this dress just before Christmas, and being bright red all over it was a little out of my comfort zone but thought it was a little more festive.  So I ordered it and surprisingly loved it.  It is a really nice flattering fit and even though it is quite structured, the material is thick with a stretch to it making it super comfortable.  It is still a little too cold to wear it with bare legs (I am only just getting rid of my umpteenth cold this winter) so to take the chill off I wore it with these Gipsy Seamed Tights.  I like that they are quite sheer and the little detail that the seam at the back gives.  The only problem with tights this sheer is that they ladder easily so you have to be very careful, especially around fluffy little dogs that like to jump up your legs (cough, cough Riley)!

Gipsy Bum, Tum and Thigh Shaper Tights, £9.99 - UK Tights*

I recently got these shaper tights from UK Tights and they were perfect for wearing with my new blue checked Matalan skirt.  The skirt is quite fitted so these tights were perfect for holding me in and hiding any lumps and bumps.  These tights are really thick, which is great for keeping my legs warm in this cold weather, and they feel super soft on my legs.  They are great quality, especially for the price.  As the packaging suggests these tights are made to tone your tum and thighs and lift your bum.  Now compared to normal tights I noticed a huge difference in the bum area, they were really lifting, leaving me with a nice pert bum.  As for toning the tum and thighs, I have to admit I didn't really notice much difference on my thighs but they were a lot tighter across the stomach area than normal tights, but not so tight it's uncomfortable, just enough to hold everything in.  These will definitely be my go to tights from now on when wearing a form fitting skirt or dress.
