Being a basic bitch

I'm not a fan of the basic things in life; I'll always choose a filled Krispy Kreme donut over a classic glazed ring and I'll always choose a fancy cocktail over a simple Screwdriver and I'll always sway towards extravagant dresses with embellishment and cut-out designs rather than a plain LBD. And I definitely avoid the basic ranges when shopping, especially online shopping, because the quality is usually so poor that it's not even worth the cheap price you pay for it. But this dress was the one exception. When I was looking on missguided, I couldn't resist this simply high neck swing dress for only £12! The rust orange colour is so gorgeous and the floaty fabric and shape make it ideal for hot summer days when you don't want anything tight or clingy. And the quality isn't even that bad; if they used the same fabric for a bodycon dress than it would probably be see-through and unflattering but it just works for this design. Because of the simple dress, I went with statement shoes in the form of these beautiful snake print missguided beauties (I was obviously going for an all-missguided-everything kind of outfit). Even though these shoes are painful (as most of my shoes are), they are so beautiful and are the perfect heel height. I wore my hair up again (twice in one week, shock horror) and then finished with hoop earrings and gold watch.
