As we
welcome the winter weather it can often feel as if you need an entire new AW
wardrobe to get you through the seasonal celebrations. No, not at all. You do
not need to reinvent the wheel, simply layer up… When ANGELEYE asked me to
collaborate, I knew they were sending out a dress, so of course my first thoughts
were, ok how can I style this so I’m warm but don’t hide the dress. If you haven’t checked them out on Instagram they
are a clothing brand called ANGELEYE Fashion, they have a show room in Camden,
London and have the most amazing selection of dresses!
So my
first point of call is understanding what colours would compliment the nude/pink
and leopard print pattern, the dress is silk so I could only really add one
other texture and I also always have the rule of having a maximum of three
colours per outfit, for example :
If I’m
wearing grey and pink I could easily wear a black or white it’s a little like
taking yourself back to your primary school years those primary and secondary
colours really come into play here.. Another example, if I were to be wearing
orange and black well orange, itself is statement colour so actually you would
be fine to keep your outfit to a minimum of two colours of course it depends
what texture and pattern the clothing is, it’s always fun to add contrast to
your outfits!
Now
with a bold print like leopard I only really thought i had a ribbed material
to play with or maybe a leather so I popped a white high neck ribbed top with quarter
sleeves underneath the dress. The reason I decided to go with a quarter sleeve
top is so the top didn’t come out any longer than the sleeves on the dress. I
then paired the dress with my Alexandar McQueen trainers, white to match the
ribbed white top.
This
is just one way of styling this dress! I would also create a look using my
cropped camel balloon sleeved jumper from Inthestyle paired with my patent nude
heels for a more, dressy look.
For a
third look I would pop on my black and silver Gucci belt with my black patent
heels for an alternative dressy option. You could then even pop a
black high neck ribbed top underneath, again with my Gucci belt and some black
boots, why not add a black hat to make the look even more accessorized!
I really
enjoy creating different looks based around one item of clothing and this
gorgeous ANGELEYE fashion dress helped me do just that! The fantastic thing
about fashion is that actually there are no real rules so actually it allows
you to make your own rules. I hope this has given you some food for thought
when staring blankly at the summer staple, have a go at styling it up for the
seasons ahead!
Happy
Sunday, I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and I can’t wait for my blog post
