Cobalt from the blue

Apologies for later than average outfit post – have been mired in spread sheet hell, with no end in sight. Sigh.

Anyway, today was the debut of another of my Outnet clearance bargains, this Iris & Ink crepe dress. I wasn’t totally sure about this when it arrived, as it is a bit shorter than I normally wear for work as I have hatred of my chubby knees. However, I sought the wise counsel of my stylish friends and the vote was to keep. So here I am in it:20130319-182358.jpgIf you follow me on Twitter (which you can do by clicking the button to the right), you might have seen my tweet about the bits I picked up at TK Maxx yesterday. These shoes were among them. I have been looking for a pair of black kitten heels for a while, and as I’m loath to spend out on boring shoes this Vince Camuto pair were just the ticket – soft leather, padded insoles and just £28. Even better, having saved so much on the shoes, I was able to justify a cheeky Matches order. Watch this space!

I’ve also added a dragonfly necklace from Accessorize, which I never wear, though it’s quite pretty.20130319-182511.jpgI do think a simple dress like this needs a more statement-y necklace though, so I am officially on the hunt for some bling. If you see anything do drop me a line!

Outfit:
Dress – Iris & Ink
Tights – Falke
Shoes – Vince Camuto via TK Maxx
Necklace – Accessorize
