favourite pieces from george at asda by banksieee featuring a wrap dress
George at Asda is one of those brands that are often overlooked because they're a supermarket brand, but if you're looking for fresh new pieces that let you experiment with new styles this is a great way to do so. And look at all these gorgeous pieces, all for under £20! And they go up to a size 22 (and in some instances a 24) and their online service in my experience is fantastic.
I am, for want of a better phrase, a shortarse. Standing at 5ft 2 and being around a size 18, maxi dresses scream NO to me. No, this isn't for you- run, well ok not run, but go, leaaaaaavvveeee, don't darken maxi dresses door again! But it's so hot, like I'm a sweaty mess kind of hot. And the idea of a long cool swooshy dress with a callipo in my hand is making me swoon! I will definitely have to try this on to see if it suits me, and more importantly doesn't drag on the ground picking up all and sundry from the pavements of Leeds.
The shorts are another thing in the list of "things Helena can't wear for fear of her looking mental". As well as being short, I have a massive arse. I love it, but it's huge. So I'm not a great wearer of shorts- ergo playsuits (urgh, don't start me on the playsuit). BUT THEY'RE SO PRETTY! So I might have to give them a whirl, variety is the spice of life.
Bird prints are also HUGE at the minute, and I am loving it! The cheeky orange parrot top is a mere £8 so something I will be investing in come payday. So tropicaaaal! Just give me a pineapple to pop on my bonce and call me Carmen Miranda!
