When the Sun Sets, Baby, On the Avenue | Outfit

Necklace: Forever 21
Bracelet: Hope Loves Johnnie
Camisole: Primark (not pictured)
Dress: H&M
I promise myself, every year, that I am going to invest in a ‘proper’ biker jacket – real leather, durable, resistant, and clocking in at more than the £25 this Primark version cost me last winter – but it seems as though something more important (read: a pretty dress or a killer pair of heels) always comes along, and all thoughts of outwear go flying out the window. It’s perfect for the current climate, though, so I won’t start worrying until the snow starts flurrying, I suppose!I absolutely adore this dress – I’m a sucker for lace, and the shade is perfect for the transition between the summer (or what we had of it) and autumn, and yet there’s one problem; it’s so short.
My solution? A £1.50 lycra vest from Primark; it probably sounds ridiculous, but honestly, if you’re struggling with your hemline, these vests are the best alternative to pricey slips – they have enough stretch to them to hit the mid-thigh (on my 5ft 5 frame, at least), and mean you don’t have to worry about flashing anyone.

Today is being spent rushing to IKEA for last-minute kitchen and storage supplies, grabbing some food-cupboard staples and packing boxes from Tesco, and then trying to fit my entire life into all the suitcases, boxes and ‘bags for life’ I can find for my move into my new house for my second year at university on Monday; everything’s completely insane, as I’m sure everyone can imagine!

What’s your solution for too-short hemlines?
