Same dress, different blog post!
It's always wonderful to be able to get a lot of wear out of an sartorial purchases & it's even better if you can wear them to completely different events in different weather to get the optimum "value for money" in this crazy economy. I will admit that I don't always think about cost per wear when adding to my wardrobe - sometimes I just really, really want that fluffy, organza dream dress that can only be worn in a certain circumstance - but I do think about the "classics" question, which is whether or not something will stand the test of time. Classic silhouettes or prints or even something so incredibly out of the box that time is irrelevant are always top of my list. Case in point: this gorgeous, black & white floral stretch twill midi dress from Anthea Crawford. It's sleek silhouette & below-the-knee hemline, in addition to the monochromatic colour scheme mean it can be worn today, in ten days, in ten months or even ten years. I've styled it up here for an appointment in the River City on a cold morning, adding a black mesh cardigan from Taking Shape that I've cinched in with a wide, patent stretch belt from That Shop, donned a pair of black matte leather ankle boots from Wittner for height, 40 denier nylon tights from Razzamatazz to keep my legs feeling toasty warm & a black vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials. When it came to jewellery, I wore a chunky silver hinged bangle from Wallace Bishop, silver & onyx charm bangle & matching rings from Pandora to complete the look.
