RED & BLACK | MIDI PENCIL WORK DRESS

red ruffle dress Elegant Duchess Boutique

If you read my blog on regular basis, you probably already know that I am a bit obsessed with elegant midi dresses and this fantastic dress (sold out) is not an exception.

Recently I had one of the most profound “Girl meets dress” moments in my shopping history. I just knew as soon as I saw this dress (sold out), that this was going to be a lasting relationship.

Perfect in every possible way, the winning combination of the oversized bow, high neck and ¾ puff sleeves. The detailing is beautiful!

This dress, as pretty and dressy as it is, wears like a dream because it’s made from a lightweight fabric, so it’s easy and comfortable.

It’s professional enough for the office and meetings yet still casual enough to wear outside of the workplace! It’s simple, yet adds a fun and flirty vibe with the bow and puffs detailing.

Just in case you’re looking for more office and not only dress options

 

With the weather a bit cold in London, I kept warm and bundled up with a coat from Monsoon (old one), over-the-knee boots (old) and red quilt gloves from Dune.

The coat really helps anchor the feel of this outfit… comfy, and winter ready! I love a great coat, and especially, tailored oversized coats. They’re much easier to layer chunky sweaters under and they feel super cosy.

The shoulder bag by Very elevates any outfit with it’s full of rock chic cool studs and structured elegant design that makes it a lifelong investment.

My wardrobe mostly consists of neutral-toned bags, but this is a red I’ll never get sick of, that perfect shade of red that isn’t too dark or light.

    You look beautiful! Red is such a beautiful, bold color and it suits you so perfectly. The red bag reminds me of the Valentino spike bag, which is on my list of things I’d love to have, but not sure I’m ready to splurge as I have so many trips I want to take. >.< That restaurant looks so cute by the way!
