A black sun dress and my dads jumper




Dress - Jack Wills Online Outlet (old)
Jumper - Rocha John Rocha (my dads - it got shrunk)
Belt - H&M
Bracelets - Gifts 
Bag - Next (old)

I took these outfits the same day I took these. I was in the mood to mess around with outfits and have a little play around piecing together things I hadn't before. I'd had the idea for this outfit floating around in my head for a while but never got around to putting it together, so while I was playing dress up I thought there's no time like the present and here we are. 

This is quite different to anything I usually wear but I think that's why I like it. The JW dress is quite 'poofy' and while I don't mind that it doesn't provide much shape when looking at me face-on, I didn't like how it looks profile. Enter my trusty H&M belt which must have featured in the majority of my outfit posts. The belt provides shape for when the dress is being worn alone. I added the jumper and I think it makes the outfit go from what could be summery (despite the colour) to an Autumn/Winter look. 

In terms of accessories, I'm a really simple girl. I don't like a lot of them, if any but I felt this outfit needed a little something so that It isn't completely one colour. The bag and the belt go quite well I think because of the similar colours and textures. Both of these have gold accents so I threw on a couple of gold bracelets I have. 

I really would value your opinions on this outfit. I love hearing what other people think. What would you change, what would you add or where would you wear it?

  3. We love this outfit!
    especially how you did your hair, its that effortless topknot that just makes the outfit for us. We would add more gold jewellery (to go with the gold accents in your accessories). Stunning.
