I think this look is quite a versatile look as it can be worn for anything; an evening out for drinks, a dinner with friends, an evening with family and so much more. I think this outfit is so classy and is a picture of sophistication. It's still a girly look yet smart and it isn't at all boring, in my opinion anyway. I think sometimes the easiest way to look sophisticated is to stick to monochrome but this is a pretty colourful take on a smart look - perfect for spring! Here's what I wore...
When I first bought this jacket (it's listed as a jacket on the New Look website but I really don't think it would keep anybody warm, it's more of a cardigan in my opinion) I really liked the pattern, although it did remind me of the Spanish bullfighters heavily embroidered jackets, it was quickly lost in the midst of my wardrobe as I just wasn't sure what to wear it with! After having a well needed wardrobe clearout I hung it up to make sure I'd try to get some wear out of it.. and voila! I think it fits so beautifully with the dress.
I love this cami dress, I didn't want to get the standard black or white so when I saw this green colour I was swoon. It looks lovely on, and falls really nicely, although I must admit the fabric is quite unforgiving. When I first looked at it, it looked too short for me - as most dresses I get tend to be - but on it isn't too bad. It does however, have a slit on the side which is definitely something to bare in mind, it could lead to accidental bum-flashing haha! For a sophisticated look I added a black clutch and black court heels which smarten up any outfit.
Accessory wise I chose to add gold jewellery. Looking over these photos I'm surprised I didn't add a necklace but the cardigan is structured in a way that the collar is very high up and so a necklace isn't really needed, but when it comes to accessories it's always up to personal preference anyway. I decided to keep it minimal with this look (for a change).

It's my first one believe it or not! I really like adding colour, especially now that the weather is warmer. Thank you sweetie! X
DeleteI almost bought that jacket! I love the colours and it works so well with the dress.
ReplyDeleteI do the same, buy things that then just sit in the wardrobe forgotten about. It's definitely good to have a clear out to remind yourself what you have.
I've never tried shoes from H&M! No idea why?!

Haha no way! We have similar taste then ;) I'm so awful at that, I'm trying really hard to limit what I buy but it's just way too hard, every time the seasons change I use it as an excuse to shop some more and of course my blog has meant I shop more too! there are some great finds in H&M, you should try out some of their shoes! X
DeleteIn love with that jacket. Such a gorgeous outfit!!

DeleteI really like the look :) and the earrings go great with the outfit! Maybe you should have worn the bar necklace that Steph got you?
ReplyDeleteI would definitely wear it out but I'll need a belt >_<

Thank you, photos were a bit blurry though I thought - a bit out of focus which is annoying, I need to play around with the settings to get it just right! & yeah I agree, I don't know why I didn't wear a necklace tbh, must have been in a rush :P X
DeleteI am IN LOVE with this dress,
ReplyDeleteThe colour, the fit, everything is gorgeous.
AND it suits you SOOOOO much as well!

Yesss! I think that's the perfect category for it - I couldn't think of what to call it haha, I was like "hm.. is it a cardigan or a jacket" - I feel enlightened haha! Anyway, thank you! I'm glad you like it :) X
DeleteThank you! I always try to blog things I'm not too sure about and then all your lovely comments reassure me that I was right to buy the jacket in the first place haha! X
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, I love the dress and the colour it really suits you xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really like the colour too, it's so pretty for spring/summer :) X
DeleteIt's stylish and You have beautiful long legs. Even though it's a little bit too girly for me, I think it looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteI put the long legs down to being tall, let's say it's a perk of being tall! Thank you! Sometimes it's fun to try out different looks, I'm quite girly in my style though :) X
DeleteStunning Patricia. That dress is just beyond gorgeous and looks lovely with your jacket too x
