As you may have seen from my increasingly grumpy tweets this week, I have been off work due to being ill- always fun when you have lots of work to do (!) Unfortunately, despite being poorly, I have still had to leave the house (usually to top up on painkillers and Coke!) and unfortunately pyjamas are still out of the question in polite society, so what do you wear when you would rather be curled up on the sofa? This tomato red dress from Monki (yes I know, I am a Monki-aholic at the moment) is perfect for slobbing around the house in but is still suitable for leaving the house in. The shape of this felt really 90s to me and although I would never normally go for this style, it was definitely nice to try something different. I will be layering this dress up with one of my striped tops or slouchy jumpers this winter which places it more in my comfort zone, I have never been very good at casual wear but hopefully this dress will ease me into it!

To make me feel less like a sack of potatoes, I added a belt but as soon as I got home, I got rid of it. When you are ill, nobody got time for that ;)

In keeping with the 90s vibe, I pulled out my leopard print loafers. I haven't worn them for a while but they are really comfy and are perfect for jazzing up an otherwise plain outfit. I really like how they look with rich jewel tones so hopefully they will be getting a lot more wear over the next couple of months...

Do you have any tips on how to deal with stress when you are poorly? (I think I need some!)
P.S. This post was done in collaboration with Spartoo

Hope you feel better soon :) I love this dress, I still haven't bought anything from Monki! x
Hope you're all better now! When I'm poorly I slob around in sweats, I'm not as glamourous as you! ;) You always look lovely in red and I agree - belts come off as soon as I step foot in my house. ;)

Aww, feel better soon Maria! It looks lovely on you & the red is so nice with the leopard print! I have lots of similar dresses to this that I wear when I'm ill too (or working from home - even though it's tempting to stay in PJs!)
You look amazing in red. That dress is so pretty on you. Get better soon bb!
