SATIN TAUPE

Topshop dress:

Subtle shoulder pads
Long, long sleeves
Do-I-hate-it-or-love-it slate grey colour
Intruiging calf-length skirt
Very warm and snuggly
What do we think?
Grossly unflattering or weirdly appealing?

I know that it was the latter answer for me when I saw it slumped woefully on a rail. I actually bought 2 with the hope of DIY-ing the crap out of the other one (or even both!) but I wanted to show the dress here in its unadulterated form.

This outfit is DEFINITELY more monochrome than I would actually wear it during the day but like I said, I wanted to show you the dress, pure and simple.




Studded jersey layered necklace - UO
Studded bag - Topshop
Ankle boots - New Look

EDIT EDIT EDIT
Just made a polyvore to show you guys what I would pair the dress with:

4 ways with a waistcoat

  18. Love the dress, the DIY plans for the second one sounds awesome, looking forward to see what you end up doing with it.

    I'm terrible at describing perfume but the Love perfume it's not overly sweet or floral with vanilla and some floral notes.
