Please bear with me as this is my first ever ootd post and I'm not one hundred percent confident in what I'm showcasing. I've been honest about my size and weight in previous posts yet words are just that. Pictures are less forgiving over time. Forgetting my insecurities lets move on with this outfit.
There are a lot of days when I leave the house where I want to dress nicely, but I have a limited wardrobe for clothing that hits the middle scale. Smart/Casual, Nice/Everyday. The majority of my clothes are only really good for a single occasion. I found this dress in George in the sale. The colour was what instantly grabbed me as purple is my favourite colour and I have always found that it works well on me and compliments my skin tone. The dress itself was long with a peplum effect at the bottom of the skirt. It was near closing time in the shop and I didn't have the time to try it on so I grabbed it off the sale rail and hoped that it would work
It was a bargain price of £7 so I figured if I wasn't comfortable in it I could just use it as a house dress (how 50s does that sound). When I got it home I was not completely in love with how it fell. it seemed like it had no shape and just hung of me like a towel. I grabbed my trustee black waist belt and viola, it gave me the shape i wanted and instead of a solid block of colour it gave something to draw the eye.
I team it with my everyday monochrome satchel style handbag, Tights, a pretty hair bow and my swarovski heart necklace to complete it and add a little more glam and style. I wear it with black shoes, flats or heels depending on where I'm going. This outfit has turned into a staple in my wardrobe. An outfit that ticks all my boxes and is pretty enough to be smart and casual yet nice and comfortable and yet still suitable for everyday. All for a impulse buy, I'd say that all in all I'm very happy with my choice.
