Style Challenge: Pleats

July 4, 2012

Todays post is a little more special than normal, because the look I’m sharing with you all is also part of a competition. Ohhh exciting I hear you cry. I was recently approached by Style Compare to take part in their weekly blogger style challenges: they task you with a trend, you pick an item from their site, and the most popular styling wins. Simples.

. Style Compare: Mango Dress (C/O) . Mulberry Shoulder bag . Topshop Belt . Missguided Heels .
. Vote for my look here .
Our task was pleats. I got to select an item from the vast range of brands featured on the style compare site, and then was left to style it as I pleased. I chose this cute Mango dress as my pleated item of choice, I loved the block pastel colour tones and thought it’d look ace for both summer and winter styling. 
I teamed it with simple tan accessories to give it a little British country girl feel … well my interpretation of it anyway. My tan belt, Mulberry shoulder bag and Deina boots were accessories of choice, and I feel they really let the dress do the talking.
I hope you like the look, you can see how the other bloggers styled their picks HERE. AND you get to pick your favourite at the bottom. I’d love it if you voted for me, please let me know if you do as you’ll be in for the chance to win £25 should I win <3 BONUS TIME.
