Asos Clothing Haul part 1



Sherry Dress with Colorblock Panels - Motel
White Heels - Bebe

A sexy mini bodycon dress, it has black, white and wine colorblock panels. Deep plunging at the back. The fabric is just like other Motel dresses, if you're not familiar, it's not a cheap looking material. Slightly stretchy, hugs your body tight enough. You know when some bodycon dresses are made of a thin fabric and it shows your underwear, this not like that, the fabric is thick enough to hide those. But it's not like corset that hides your tummy or anything. It's a mini dress and moves up when you're walking and if you keep pulling it down, the fabric starts to get lose. Mine is size UK10 or small.



Drape Side Dress in Black - River Island
Metallic Heels - Dolce Vita

This is such a unique dress, I feel like a super star when I'm in this dress. Those chiffon panels fly behind you when you walk. Exposed zipper at the back adds a nice touch. It's actually a bodycon dress and 4 chiffon tails attached to it. They had it in black and neutral, neutral was sold out. I got a size 10 because they didn't have it in smaller size too, it's too big so I'll have it altered.



Top with '40s Peplum in Cream - Asos
Bodycon Skirt - Forever New
Leopard Peep Toe Heels - Bebe

You might think by looking at the pictures, oh it's a nice top! Because I was thinking the same too. But in person it's exactly the opposite. First, the fabric is almost see through, very thin and cheap. It says 100% polyester on the site, I don't know if that's a cheap material or not. Also, even though I got size 8 and it still too big for me. Asos brand stuff are not high quality I guess, so I'll keep an eye on that when purchasing something from asos.com

Outfit Of The Day vol. 7 featuring Motel Appliqué Beth Dress


Dress : Motel - Urban Outfitters
Heels : Bebe - 2b

This dress is probably my worst purchase ever from Motel, first of all the fabric is not as thick and durable, it's rather thin and sheer. It's also stretchy, not a regular cotton fabric but still when you pull it, it sags and loosens. The second problem I had with this dress was it didn't fit me properly maybe because it runs larger than my other Motel dresses but it shows my bra way too much that I couldn't wear it without a cardigan. And the cardigan covers the shoulder detailing, then it becomes just a regular black dress. Talking about the shoulder detailing, I like the embellishment it gives character to the dress but for a sleeves dress it has too much shoulder padding, I don't know it doesn't look cute.
My shoes are from 2b, they are 6" heels I feel like an acrobat wearing them.

Outfit Of The Day vol. 6 featuring Motel Jester Color Block Dress


Dress : Asos , Motel , Amazon , Karmaloop
Shoes : Forever 21

Motel always makes super trendy bodycon dresses, and they are available at many online stores too. The fabric is stretchy and thick which looks durable. And it has some serious shoulder padding and a deep v-neck at the back so your bra will show. I paired it with an opaque black tights and a peep toe Forever 21 booties, without a platform. Do you remember the time when there was no platform shoes? They were so uncomfortable and this ankle boots are no exception.

Outfit Of The Day vol. 1


The weather is a bit chili these days, but still can't accept that summer is over, I love mini dresses so much! I got this Motel Lesley dress recently from Urban Outfitters and I love it, it's in the color peach, I checked but this color is not available now, but you can still find coral and black. I'm not thrilled by the quality though, mine already started getting loose, still I love the design, especially the back straps makes it very unique. Unfortunately your bra will show up and I hate not wearing a bra or wearing those weird bras that stick to your boobs so I wore it anyways, it looks bad I know.


I paired it with my Guess leopard slingbacks, they are just OK not my favorite and not the most comfortable shoe.



I bought this Juicy Couture Lively White Ceramic Watch a while ago and I'm wearing it all the time. White ceramic watches are so in right now and this a real beauty.
