The Little Grey Dress

I’ve been really good this year when it comes to the sales. In previous years despite the best of intentions I’ve succumbed to “bargains” that I neither want or need. This year due to moving so soon after Christmas I didn’t have any time to browse let alone shop the sales, that was until a few nights ago when I had half an hour to myself and a little bit of spare money on hand for a little treat. I happened upon the Urban Outfitters and managed to pick up almost £150 worth of things for just £47 including a much needed chunky black cardigan and a couple of lovely day dresses.

Dress: Urban Outfitters (£12 here) | Boots: H&M | Necklace: Laura Whitmore for Daisy Jewellery

This dress jumped out at me from the second I started browsing the website. I can’t resist a simple dress with a twist and the drawstring waist and pocket details on this one make it the perfect smart casual addition to my wardrobe. At £12 down from £46 I think this was a really wise buy as it can easily be dressed up and down with the addition of heels vs. flat boots and a change of accessories.

I’m really loving necklaces layered over a high neck, my parents bought me this Laura Whitmore for Daisy Jewellery one for Christmas and it sits perfectly with the fine knit. I’m not usually one for celebrity collaborations but the entire collection by Ms. Whitmore is utter perfection- delicate chains, plectrum shaped charms and inspirational inscriptions. Mine reads “believe to achieve” which is just perfect for where I am at with my life right now.

Have you picked up any real bargains in the sales lately? I’ll be popping up my other dress as soon as we get some decent enough weather to take some more photos.

  2. £12?! What a bargain! Totally loving the dress, Laura. My best bargain in the sales was a gorgeous faux fur trim parka for £35, down from £100! xxx

  3. I’ve got to admit I ended up succumbing to too many sales bargains these last few weeks despite having no need for them – need myself a wardrobe audit!
    That said, everything you’ve got hear looks grand and bargainous – good work!

  6. Utterly gorgeous in grey my lovely Laura! Loving the stunning contrast of your beaut red hair; the colours work so perfectly together. Can imagine the rest of Ms. Whitmore’s range is just as dreamy as your divine necklace, I adore the “believe to achieve’ words, you deserve for all your dreams to come true and come true they will sweet one! <3
