1 Dress, 2 Looks

I recently bought this dress from ASOS Curve. I was inspired by a post that Stiletto did.. She looked fab in it, and I had my eye on the dress for a while, so I got it. It was in the sale, but sadly is no longer on the site. I was after a smart, flexible black dress that I can just take out of my wardrobe and accessorise according to the occasion. This evening, I just had a play around with a couple of different looks, and this is the outcome. The first one is the 'dress down' version, something I would probably wear for casual drinks or a day shopping.


























Dress: ASOS Curve, Shoes: New Look (ages ago), Tights: Primark, Hair bow: Primark, Belt:Jumble sale

I love the bright yellow against the black of the dress. It's such a simple way of accessorising as well. Belt, Shoes, Hair band, DONE!

The second outfit is more of a night out outfit. Black and red is such a classic combination, and something I really enjoy wearing. It's bright and it's eye catching, 2 things I love!

Dress: ASOS Curve, Tights: Primark, Shoes: Primark, Jacket: Jumble sale

I love the contrast of the straps on the shoes against the red tights! These shoes are actually pretty comfortable as well.

(Please excuse the hair, I'm trying my hardest to grow it into a nice short bob... Though I have absolutely no patience! So far, so good though!)

I am so thrilled to be at ALMOST 150 followers! This means so much to me, thank you so much for following and commenting, it means so much to me!

Funny, today in the morning I thought about making some "1 Thing 2 looks" post for some basic items. I love both styles, they are both quite fun and colorful :D

Love how this dress looks on you and I love how you styled it completely different then I did, shows the awesome versatility even though we have simialar personal styles! Love the yellow accents, and I actually thought you hair looked bitchen in the second shots!

Ooohh, I love the second look so much - it's fun and edgy but still chic. This is also such a good idea for a post!

Excellent work! I love seeing ways others style pieces to change them up.

I love the red and black to bits, and the other one is way cute too.

I love the yellow details in the first outfit, and the shoes of the second! *_*

I bought that dress as well on sale and I LOVE it! Recently I wore this dress with a black waterfall cardigan and thin belt to accentuate my waist. Then again for work with a fitted blazer and wedges. I looked and felt great both times. However I am really feeling your black/red combo and those shoes! Too bad we don't have Primark in the states!
