Though I do try to put a bit of variety into the ‘colours’ I wear, I always find myself going back to black. The one thing I do bemoan is the fact that I hadn’t come across the idea of wearing a blazer as a dress until now. The cat being out of the bag with this idea, I’m sure it’ll be my next great cliché. The sexy cool of this Missguided tuxedo dress would be hard to live up to, however. I also can’t wait to wear it as a jacket. Versatility, tick. I’m sure it needs no explanation that I paired it with my other recently procured Missguided piece, these lace up stilettos. As for accessories, as always, I run a minimal operation. Pearl earrings and a classic watch are enough for me. And this Alannah Hill rose gold bangle is probably the best thing I’ve ever receive from a runway gift bag.

    this dress is absolutely beautiful on you! i have never shopped on Missguided before but i went there immediately to order this dress… and there’s a glitch or something because it won’t let me add my size to my bag although it’s available still… strange!

    Hi! I want to order this dress- however what size did you get?

    1. closetvoyage says :

        i love the dress and love how it looks on you. do you usually wear a size 8 or 10. i would like to get the same look

        1. closetvoyage says :

          I usually take an 8 and I’m wearing an 8! The bust and waist fit true to size, but I think the shoulders are on the narrow side. I’m not sure if you can tell.
