Tweed is one of those fabrics that I really love. Whether it is the country girl in me or just because I can't resist these most Autumnal of fabrics, if I see something even vaguely tweedy, you can guarantee that it will end up coming home with me! This dress was an impulse buy from Tesco early one weekday morning but despite that, I really love it! I have worn it quite a few times when I need to feel more pulled together at work and it always gets complimented (which is always nice!) I have just realised that everything but the tights in this outfit is from Tesco, clearly I can't resist their clothing ;)

As it has still been pretty warm recently, I didn't need anything more than my cardigan to keep warm but I plan to layer this dress up with sheer shirts and blouses when the temperatures do drop, I have a green top that would go perfectly with the checked pattern.

My favourite part of this dress though has to be the delicate lace overlay that covers the top (although I wish I went either a little higher or lower on the bodice rather than stopping halfway down my chest, I just think it looks a bit odd!) I wanted to show off the lace but wearing my hair up looked too harsh so I went for soft side swept curls instead. Paired with my new Revlon lipstain in Berry Crush it felt properly Autumnal!

Originally I was going to pair this with either brown or black tights but neither looked quite right and these burgundy ones are way more fun and definitely one of my hardest working sales buys, I have literally had these for years and without fail, they get pulled out every Autumn! I was going to wear them with my burgundy heels but instead I went for these wedges which are much easier to walk in!

I love tweed, it looks so smart dressed up with heels and those cute tights. x
I love tweed, instant chic. Wanting this dress! x
That dress is lovely, can't believe it's from Tesco! It's probably just as well there aren't any Tescos with clothing departments near me, otherwise I would definitely end up buying a new dress every time I went shopping!
Love the burgundy tights too, can't wait to start wearing all my autumn favourites again! x
This is such a lovely dress and perfect for the weather now. Love the tights with it to give some colour.

Tescos? No way! It looks gorgeous on you!

Wow, that is so classy - you always manage to find the best things! When I try to shop at Tesco I end up looking at boring t-shirts and giving up. Thank goodness you're around to help with my shopping incompetence!
Perfect work outfit, I can't believe its from Tesco! x
That is such a pretty dress! I really love the lace and tweed together.
Ooh very nice - a winning combination. Think I'd like it even more if there was just lace on the top bit, but that may not make it work appropriate!
very pretty dress!
looking fabulous as ever, really really loving the tweed and lace combo there. Beautiful combo with the burgundy.
Gorgeous dress! You look lovely :) x
That dress is stunning. I love the overlay across the neckline. YES! I love Tesco clothes too.
Maria you look stunning in this gorgeous dress, I love it x
This dress is just lovely on you Maria!

Love the dress, & it goes perfectly with your tights :D!
So pretty! I was wearing a coat in an almost identical tweed earlier today! You look stunning :)
That dress is divine on you, I love it!
The lace panel is beautiful! I love it against the tweed. I also love your morning instagram posts although they are heart breaking. I thought waking up at 6:30 was bad enough but you are always up and ready and looking cute while I peer through my puffy-sleep-gunk eyes. So take away from this: stop being so well dressed at 6:30 am, it makes my work outfits look sad.
