I was asked to join Dicountcoder’s $100 ASOS outfit challenge – an entire outfit from ASOS – for under $100. I love a good style challenge especially one that proves you don’t have to spend much to look great.
I went with an on-trend going out outfit. I was particularly impressed with the peplum dress (under $30!) and the animal print belt – a bargain at just $13.05.
The tally:
Dress – $28.54
Shoes – $48.93
Belt – $13.05
Ring – $3.26
Total = $93.78
What do you think?
Wearing: Veronika Maine top, Jcrew belt, Cue skirt, Portmans jacket, Witchery bag, Colette ring and earrings.
Sometime when its grey outside you just gotta wear bring some colour to your day.
Also – here is how I wore this blouse back in summer.
You know the scenario – you’re looking through a store and the clothes on the hangers look, well, blah. Ordinary. Ugly even.
Please stop crying – you’ve just a got a simple case of hanger-discrimination. We’ve all had it. It looks unappealing on the hanger, you’re thinking why would I want that on this body?! But here is an easy cure: try it on.
Who would think this:
Could look like this? 
Or this:
like this?
Sure we don’t all have the luxury of Photoshop or a wind machine following us around all day but see how much better theses pieces (from David Lawrence) look like on an actual body?!! A few well placed accessories also help.
Go on – get in that change room.
I have such a soft spot for dresses. Here are some I’m loving….
Well played David Lawrence. This deep berry colour is so beautiful – particularly against alabaster skin. It looks great with all the closet staples of tan, black, grey and navy. It also loves animal print (but who doesn’t?!)
No you’re not having a dress hallucination (although I wouldn’t mind one of those) it’s just a bit of a blurry shot of this really special Trenery dress. The colour is lovely and the ruching and sleeve length is so flattering.
It couldn’t be a proper post without filling my weekly stripe quota! It’s probably more colour block then stripes but whatever you call it – me likey. I really like it under a faux fur vest with boots and tights. It is also fab with a camel blazer (worn open please) for work. Witchery. Love.
I am so excited to be featured in the stripe style challenge on one of my favourite fashion blogs, What I Wore. The posts my two entries came from are here and here.
Silk shirt on the weekend end? Hell yeah! I love the exaggerated length of this Witchery blouse as it can be worn tucked or untucked. I also love the Burgundy against the navy. The denim dresses down the silk to make it more weekend appropriate.
Which was your favourite look?
This burgundy silk blouse loves other luxe fabrics like leather and fur – especially in camel and animal print – for dinner and a few cheeky drinks with the girls.
This burgundy colour is so popular for Winter. I love the richness it brings to an outfit. It is also so easy to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe. First up, a pencil skirt combo for office hours.
Wearing: Witchery jacket, BigW top, Veronika Maine skirt, Colette necklace and ring, Witchery bag, Sportsgirl sunglasses.
Don’t mind me – just here posing in a public garden, looking up at the heavens. The things I do for an outfit shot! We’re having some gorgeous Autumn weather in the nation’s capital. Hope you had a great weekend too
