1 Dress, Many Outfits : Number 1

For those of you that know me or have met me somewhere in cyberspace, you will know that I wear a lot of black. It is not a particularly concious decision, but I know that if I buy a black top/skirt I'll have something to go with it. It's safer, it doesn't particularly stand out and can generally be dressed up or down as needed.

I also love to wear dresses as I don't need to find anything to match and can accessories as needed. 

So, in the Warehouse sale I found this black jersey maxi dress for £7.

 

It's a perfect staple dress, ideal for work, play, meals out, pub, and it fits me quite well (it does look better on me than the hanger!)

I have been a student of the lovely Lottie in her Finshing School on how to be Feminine & Fabulous, and am an avid follower of Think Frock it's Friday. But I do want to try to brighten up my wardrobe and be a bit more creative about what I wear. So my plan is to wear this dress as least once a month but always trying to make it look different.

I know, I know I should have bought the lilac or blue dress instead to rid myself of black, but I have a lot of black in my wardrobe and the point here is to update the black and team it with a bit of colour.

I will say, that week 1 wasn't the best but it was my first day back in work & it was early in the morning, so I kept it fairly neutral. 

Brown knee high boots with brown tights

Wide tan belt & big wooden bangles

I will try to get photos of myself in the whole outfit in the future.
