FCUK S S08
FCUK S S08
Remember the FCUK dress post I did before last Christmas? Alas, I didnt end up getting any of those dresses, but Ive continued to stalk FCUK clothes, especially the dresses online. For S/S08, FCUK had less shift dresses and more 20s and high-waisted style dresses, but I still found plenty to like.
The dress that Ive been ogling since the start of the season is the Ray dress. I love that even though its covered with beads, its not too sparkly and I love the combination of pale colours in horizontal stripes. I dont have an event in mind to wear it to, which is why I cant quite justify paying full price (120 pounds) for it. But if it goes on sale, should I get it? Or is it too disco-y?
Im a fan of t-shirt dresses so I briefly considered this dress, but the ruffles were too small for my taste and the edges had that cheap-looking ripped effect.
Like I said, I love t-shirt dresses. The weird purple and green beaded pattern made me hesitent at first (-the dress is named Alien dress,) but I think its growing on me. It looks so easy to wear and its colourful without being too multi-coloured. 
Then there is this tank dress, which is similar but less weird looking than the Alien Dress. Its sold out online though, so I assume its sold out in stores too. I actually like the horizontal patterned stripes more but the t-shirt style is so much easier to wear.
A cute shift dress with a classic design. 
This dress makes me think of fancy lunches. Thats it. Since I have no fancy lunches to go to, perhaps its not quite useful for me. But its so pretty!
I thought this dress looked frumpy on the French Connection website, but I love it on the model. Its such a cute, fashionable twist to the polo shirt dress. The skirt bit is high-waisted, which is supposed to make ones legs look longer. Plus a daytime dress would be so much more useful to me than a going out dress. I didnt see it at my local store but hopefully Ill see it at the Oxford Circus store. Isnt it cute?
I touched this top at a store and the quality is great! You can wear it as a loose top, or as I saw it on display, tucked into a high-waisted skirt, which is oh-so-fashionable these days. Its so versatile, but I imagine the reason why there are still so many left in stores is that it costs 50 pounds!
Ive been eyeing this Veronica top ever since the start of the season. Im not one for blouses but the bow is just right and the slightly puffy sleeves are cute. Ill definitely be looking out for this.
I didnt think much of this top until I saw it (in another colour with yellow spots) on a salesgirl and it looked great on her. The design is a bit too interesting for me and it looks more like fall clothes than summer clothes but maybe I should just try it on first.Now that the sales are about to start soon (-still waiting!), Im trying to narrow down the list of items to look out for in the sale becuase obviously I cant buy everything. Which few items do you think I should pick?
