A little over a couple of weeks ago the lovely people at Boohoo contacted me to see if I was interested in styling up their “Dress of the Month” (DOTM), from their ‘dress‘ category. The only ‘catch’ was that this dress would be a mystery. There’s no need denying that I was a little apprehensive as to what I was going to be sent, but when I discovered that said dress was the one above I was very excited to style it.
To be honest I don’t normal edge towards the ‘bodycon’ range of dresses, but this one is such a gorgeous take on the dress with the black crochet lace over-layed on a nude fabric. As my personal style normally edges towards the ‘grungy-er’ side of things I wanted to inject a element of this within the whole outfit – adding a personal touch. When styling ‘dressier’ dresses I always like to experiment with dressing them down, creating more of a daytime suitable look. I decided to do this by pairing the dress with a light wash (distressed) denim jacket, adding a contrast of textures and overall aesthetics, with a pair of fishnet tights and Gucci “dupe” sling-back loafers. Creating a more ‘comfortable’ outfit perfect for daytime occasions/events.
I’ve also just uploaded my first youtube video (eek) to correspond with todays outfit post, if all goes to plan a link will be below this video!
