I was so taken by this black and white dress that I knew immediately that it would be great for dressing up or down, for a really versatile style. I love how it is muted shades but can be paired with bold bright colours to really bring it to life.

The dress is actually part of the George Graduate Fashion Week collection and was inspired by the Disney villains.  I can totally see this as part of Cruella de Vil’s wardrobe, but for a modern non fur market.

I’ve put this look together with a gorgeous pair of heels that make the dress immediately perfect for a date night, with the belt on the dress giving a lovely defined waist.  Finished off with some striking jewelled earrings and gemstone necklace, then throw on a pop of colour as you run out the door.

 

This has to be my ideal autumn outfit, take one iconic dress and pair it with a cosy cardigan and stylish boots.  I do love a snuggly pair of socks at this time of year too, (although it’s practically a miracle to find any matching ones in this house.) What more reason do I need to choose a pair that work perfectly with this dress.  Add a little extra sparkle with some stylish studs and bead knot necklace.  I call this ready to shop, or ready to work. on comfort and style.
