PINK SUMMER IN THE CITY

Still utterly obsessed with the beautiful brightness of 'pop' colour at the moment. I recently found myself browsing the sales in & Other Stories and instantly gravitated towards the details of this black floating midi number. I just loved how classic I felt whilst wearing it in the fitting rooms.......Next thing I knew I was at the till telling the cashier how much I shouldn't be buying this piece (due to a supposed shopping ban**coughcough ) and zoomed straight out of there. 

Once home and thrown together with a strong pop of HOT PINK colour on my beloved summer structured blazer, I knew I was going to love this striking summer look. Teamed with a chunky black platform chelsea boot (staple favourite), my treasured practically falling apart (but I still love it :-)) vintage satchel sling bag and a silk home made choker (old fabric I had in my warbrobe, normally worn as a head tie). My pleated statement look was complete. 

I wore this for a few catch up drinkies with the ladies in the city, however you could easily rock this look for the day office/work or evening party with a pair of alternative heels or a chunky boot. The flare and looseness of this dress is uber flattering on the old 'drank too many cocktails' nights or 'ate way too much at dinner' vibes (so me!). I think this piece has bundles of longevity in my wardrobe and the quality of the fabric is spot on.
