The boots are a bit dark with it though as you have naked arms in the photo- like your legs are in autumn and your body is in Spring ;)...so you just need to wear a black cardigan/jacket/pashmina/coat or something with it, to balance the outfit. A black belt might do it, but I was thinking- it's pretty cold right now and surely you'll need a top of some kind over it anyway, so a cardigan would definately do it. But do wear it, it's lovely! Really suits your colouring, too.Torinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-27034870320273366272011-10-30T16:40:52.900+00:002011-10-30T16:40:52.900+00:00I think you look lovely in that dress, beautiful s...I think you look lovely in that dress, beautiful smile and beautiful colour.<br /><br />We Giraffe for breakfast occasionally and love it there.BabyWilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514458601141900410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-62903602575965853032011-10-29T21:02:51.408+01:002011-10-29T21:02:51.408+01:00Thanks Jess :) I agree, I think a black belt would...Thanks Jess :) I agree, I think a black belt would help the dress have more shape. I think my Mum has one so I will go and try on the whole outfit together at hers during the week.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments also, I am feeling particularly blobby at the moment but I'm relieved I fitted into the smaller of my 2 possible sizes for this dress - hopefully it will fit a bit better if I ever get round to losing some weight! The dress is really weird actually - the skirt part is quite floaty, but it has a lining underneath that is *so* tight - I think I'm going have to cut it as it makes it hard to walk it's so tight over my thighs!!!<br /><br />You definitely don't look hideous no matter what you wear, but I do definitely agree that food shopping is the winner - much less stress and much more pleasure!! :)<br /><br />xxxLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750376299218627319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110182288030764192.post-63046473520523090082011-10-29T20:43:52.659+01:002011-10-29T20:43:52.659+01:00I am not stylish by any means so I would take any ...I am not stylish by any means so I would take any fashio-related things from my perspective with a pinch of salt, but I'd say the dress needs a black belt of some sort with it, possibly one of those wide, waist-clinging ones? It would highlight the fabulousness of those killer boots and accentuate your waist, which looks tiny anyway but would look even more fantastic with a belt to make it the focus of the outfit?<br /><br />Food shopping wins out for me - I look hideous no matter what I wear so I'd really rather not have to look in mirrors!<br /><br />xxxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.com
