Outfit

Texture Clash

February 7, 2013

Today’s outfit post is an outfit from last week (pre the rediscovery of my macro lens) and features a super old dress which I thought deserved to see the light of day again. I love finding old clothes in my wardrobe and rediscovering lost gems, I forget quite how many clothes I actually have. It’s most disturbing.

This dress is something I picked up in H&M a year or so ago, when I was trying to embrace the smock / a frame dress look. Sadly it’s not really what I was after and proved less practical than I was hoping. The back of the dress is pure chiffon, which means it’s completely see through. This then means you need to wear a long top under neath, which due to the velvety texture of the front causes loads of friction and makes the dress cling in weird places. So this is the reason I rarely wear it, but I do love it still and so every now and then I’ll bring it back out and style it up.
. Topshop Leather Jacket (old) . Zalando Chelsea Boots . H&M Fur Stole & Textured Dress .
As it’s a simple, plain dress, I love styling it with my biker leather jacket as it gives it quite a casual chilled vibe, and naturally my go to accessory was my fur stole and Zalando ankle boots. I swear I wear these two items almost every single day. I really like the outfit, and definitely need to wear this dress more. I may have a think about how I can wear it for summer too.
What do you think of this look? How do you make sure you keep wearing your older clothes and not just your new items?

      Lovely outfit, simple bit chic! :)
      I have a “sort through” my wardrobe every month or two, and usually find old gems that I’ve forgotten about due to new favourites :)
