Simplicity...

It seems that I can't get enough of Oasis midi dresses at the moment! This black one is slightly plainer than this jazzy printed one but has been a key part of my wardrobe recently. I was looking for a casual LBD that I could replace this ASOS number with and picked this one up when it finally went into the sale. I really like the simplicity of the black against my pasty pale skin and red lipstick, it looks striking without requiring much effort (always a win in my book!) ;) Confidence is a funny thing and although mine comes and goes in waves, I think you can see how happy I look here. I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone a lot recently and it has definitely made me braver, here's hoping that continues! 

Dress: Oasis, shoes: Marks and Spencer outlet
I always feel most like myself when I am wearing red lipstick and MAC Lady Danger is my favourite at the moment. It is definitely not for the faint-hearted but it matches my shoes so well that I couldn't resist, haha! The neckline on this was pretty revealing so I dug out my bandeau top again. I would have preferred a lace trimmed cami but haven't been able to find any pretty ones, does anyone have any recommendations? 


These orange-y red suede shoes were a bargain from when we visited the M&S outlet at Gloucester Quays back in April and I really love them. Block heeled shoes are my favourite and the studded heel sets them apart from the other pairs in my wardrobe. I think this is supposed to hit just below the knee but thanks to my less than lanky legs, it is nearly a maxi on me. I suppose it just means that I will be cosier when I start layering it up for Autumn!


Any ideas on where I can find a pretty lace cami?

I love this midi, I have a printed one and they are SO comfy. The red suede shoes work perfectly with it! :)

I've struggled to find pretty camis on the high street lately. I saw loads in Spain but that doesn't help much! xx

Love a bright shoe bringing the best out of a simple dress. Looking fabulous and I'm so happy to hear you felt as good as you looked. Check out M&S for lace camisoles, also they do awesome microfibre slips which has one side with lace edging and one side plain, you can wear them either way.

That's a winner, it looks lovely against your pale skin.

Amazing dress. Oasis is one of my new go-to's for fashion. They just have some great things. And I love those shoes. Red and black is a great combination.
