The Shift Dress

Shoes- Clarks, Dress- Marks&Spencer, Bag- Aldo, Bracelets- Aldo, PipaBella, Forever21, Ring- Asos

I'm sure a lot of you are aware of my on going affair with skater dresses but what you're not aware of, is the fact that I'm currently cheating on them. And this dress is where it all started. I have a pear shaped body and I always thought that a shift dress is not made for me. But I was wrong. The shift dress which hangs straight down from your shoulders, flatters almost every body type. It skims your body nicely but does not cling. Sleeveless shift dresses are even more versatile as you can add a shirt or t-shirt underneath them to change up the look. I like wearing shift dresses as they are easy to throw on for a casual day but can look formal enough for meetings too. I love how the geometric print on the dress refrains it from being just a normal black dress. The coral and blue hints give it a fresh feel. I added some simple two tone heels and a structured black satchel to finish off the look. I also carry these super chic snake print sandals in my bag because when it starts pouring, I really can't do in heels. Plus, I love the clash of print! So don't be scared to play up a little and be experimental with your style. You never know when you'll stumble upon your new favourite.

Monsoon Mix

Blazer- Marks & Spencer, Dress- Hues, Bag- Rebecca Minkoff, Rings- Romwe, Bracelet- PipaBella, On my lips- Cosmo by Mac

When it rains, all I want to do is, sit with my hot chocolate by the window and admire. And yes, I've done a lot of that in the past one week while the rain gods were going berserk! So when I finally had to step out, smashing prints was the only thing on my mind. I've attempted mixing florals with stripes before and so this time I opted for yet another classic print, the polka dots. I grabbed this jersey jacket in the mid-season Marks&Spencer sale and boy do I love it! When mixing prints, the basic rule is to use one colour as your base colour which would act as a mediator between the prints, which for me was navy blue. The navy blue in the dress and the blazer help create a perfect outfit despite the contradicting prints. I added some minimalistic rings, a wrap bracelet and my current favourite bag to complete the look! 

Now the reason I had to step out was to attend a meeting for the exhibition I'm hosting this Saturday, 22nd June 2013, for the Final Sale of the StyleDrive for Spring Break collection along with the phenomenal upcoming jewellery brand, PipaBella! I adore their jewellery and here's a chance for you to grab some pieces from their semi-annual sale and also get a preview of their brand new Monsoon Collection! Come say Hello to me at Lagerbay between 12 to 6 pm and grab some steal deals. I'd love to see you there!
