I take a lot of fashion inspiration from Bella Hadid.

Reflexive pronouns

I don't know who styles her, whether she styles herself or she has a personal stylist, but whoever it is, they're doing a fantastic job because 90% of the time, I want to buy whatever it is that she's wearing.

Adverbs of degree

Not because it's Bella Hadid wearing it, but because I see the clothing and I'm like, that is so cool, I want that piece of clothing.

So let me tell you, when I saw this dress, I just about fainted.

So I put on my detective's hat and I did a bit of Googling and I found out that it is from a brand called Daisy Limited which amazingly enough is from Sydney, Australia, which is where we're from.

Now don't confuse Daisy Limited with Daisy Street that you can buy on ASOS.

Don't worry though, you probably won't confuse the two at all because a dress from Daisy Street will set you back $40, but a dress from Daisy Limited will set you back $400.

That's right folks, I just about fainted when I saw the dress on Bella and then my soul simply left my body when I saw the price.

So I added it to my increasingly long list of clothes that I love the look of, but simply cannot justify buying and I moved on with my life.

But I just could not stop thinking about it.

I know it's a huge amount of money, but the dress is responsibly made in Sydney, Australia from 100% recycled materials by an independent designer.

So with that in mind and the fact that I wanted something nice to wear for our third year wedding anniversary and the fact that today's video is sponsored by HelloFresh, I decided what the hell, may as well spend it up like a celebrity and buy the dress.

Now I haven't tried it on yet, so I don't know what it's going to look like on me, but I can tell you my first impressions.

When I pulled it out of the bag, I'm not gonna say I was bitterly disappointed, but it's very light.

The material is 65% recycled nylon and 35% recycled Lycra.

By looking at some of these straps, can you kind of see here where, please focus, please focus, please focus, me talking to my own brain.

There's a lot of these sort of straps and they're very, very thin.

And because the material is sort of stretchy and very delicate, look at that.

I don't know how it's gonna go longevity wise.

Semi-sheer contour paneled dress made with 100% recycled materials.

When they say contoured panel, they mean quite literally they've got these panels that are sort of contoured in a nice way so that it'll hopefully sit on the waist nicely.

It does say raw edged, so I mean, I can't really say that I was disappointed because they literally said raw edged.

So all these little silver bits are actually sterling silver, which is very cool.

It says beaded wrist strap, which I'm guessing this is the wrist strap.

This looks like something that Borat would wear.

Now I got this in a small because it said on the website to pick your size based on your own measurements.

And it does say delicate handle with care.

Before I try on this incredibly sheer piece of clothing, let's take a moment to thank today's sponsor, HelloFresh.

And with that, let's get on with the video.

I'm going to attempt to change into this now but I'm very, very confused by all of these straps.

Now I just have to figure out how to put my body in this.

So that this sits on me in this exact way.

All right, so it looks like there's meant to be two crossing over, no, three crossing over at the front and two going up the shoulders, all right.

I am ashamed to admit that that took me 20 minutes.

Today is our wedding anniversary and we are staying in a tiny house.

And the problem with tiny houses are they come with tiny mirrors.

So I can't actually see what I look like very well.

I can't see the full length of the dress.

So I'm just going to have to rely on Daniel to help me style it.

Hey Dan, can you come and take the camera from me?

I'll slide it through the door, I don't want you to see me and then do like a selfie mode because I want to get your first impressions of me wearing the dress.

So just take it and just hold it up to your face so you can see and then stand over there and hold it so it's looking at you, so you see me come out.

Take it and then I walk into the back corner.

Hang on, I'm just trying to figure out, whoops.

This is one of those live, love, laugh places.

And you're wearing that dress, so we play.

So, when Bella wore this dress, she wore it with plaid pants underneath and pointy black heels.

The models on the website, however, wore it in a slightly different way.

And when I say different, I mean with chainmail boots and blood dripping off her fingers.

You know, which could actually be an option for me, seeing as my body decided to betray me the night before our wedding anniversary.
