My name is Nadia Jae and I’m a DJ, presenter and more importantly a Tomboy so getting me into dresses and skirts is a challenge at the best of times! However, I've taken to challenge to find a new look for less at, well, New Look. In the name of journalism, I pinky promise to give you an honest run down, warts and all!
Debrief Changing Room Selfies Spring New Look
1 of 61. Flower Power
New Look, Black Floral Print Smock Playsuit, £19.99; New Look, Wide Fit Black Suedette Cone Heel Western Boots, £32.99 Total Cost: £52.98Right, so on the hanger this was my worst nightmare. Dark blue, floral and short with frills. Then I put the outfit on and realised it wasn't an inappropriately short dress, but a jumpsuit! Plot twist. Once the outfit was on I actually really liked it to my genuine surprise. With a cheeky ankle boot this one gets a YAS from me.
2 of 62. Sporty Spice
New Look, Rust Chunky Rib V Neck Vest, £12.99;New Look, Black Side Stripe Split Hem Trousers, £19.99 Total Cost: £32.99Well, this was my absolute fave! The burnt orange vest top made my complexion glow and showed my curves without being tight fitted. The trousers are pleasantly lightweight and comfortable, plus I loved loved LOVED the splits down the side! This was the most 'Nadia Jae' of all the looks. I would wear to a summer dinner or party. Issa nice New Look.
3 of 63. Double Denim
New Look: Blue Rinse Denim Jacket, £25.99; New Look, Black Button Front Denim Mini Skirt, £19.99 Total Cost: £45.98So this was my least favourite look...by a mile. I felt like it was 1992 again and all I was just missing a pair of silver jellies (who remembers those?) The denim skirt was (obviously) so straight fitted that my curves struggled a lot! The denim jacket was very dated and literally felt like something from the age 9-15 years section. But not in a good way I'm afraid. I did like the shoes but not with this outfit. A No-No from me.
4 of 64. Little Miss Sailor
New Look, White Stripe Tres Bien Slogan Square Neck Bodysuit, £9.99; New Look, White Cropped Kick Flare Jeans, £25.99; New Look, Black Suedette Kitten Heel Pointed Mules, £22.99 Total Cost: £58.97This was a cute outfit, but was very uncomfortable! cry face The body suit was a good fit but it did come up slightly tight, and the same for the jeans. I'm really not a fan of flares so this wasn't going to be a win for me. The jeans were also a little tight around the thighs so I would recommend buying in store in case you need to try a few sizes.
5 of 65. Spots and Smiles
New Look: White Spot Print Peplum Top, £17.99; New Look, Black Ribbed Side Striped Trousers, £17.99;New Look, Black Suedette Kitten Heel Pointed Mules, £22.99 Total Cost: £58.97I loved the loose fitted blouse it would look great with a pair of jeans too. I didn't like these crop trousers as much as the slit-side track pants but I did like the stripe details on the sides. Both fit well (as in not too tight and not too loose). I likey!
6 of 66. Working Woman
New Look, Monochrome Stripe Tie Shirt, £19.99;New Look, Black Side Stripe Split Hem Trousers, £19.99 Total Cost: £39.98I loved this ensemble as you can finally see the details of the trousers and these diamanté cuff shoes which were gorge! I love an oversized pinstriped shirt, it's is my everyday go-to. This is definitely a good look in my opinion and under £40 it can be worn to work or to a cute meeting. New Look this was a Good Look.
