#FashionFebruary Week 1 Post | The NUMARI Dress | Holy Chic

This is not a sponsored post!

Hey guys!

So I am back with the first post of February and well I am sure you have guessed from the title, it is week 1 of the #FashionFebruary. Click the link to keep up with it on Twitter!

Okay so let me put it this way, I am a bit of a people pleaser so instead of creating one look like we were supposed to so I guess, I made three. Oh I’m such a rebel. JK! So using the NUMARI Diagonal Block Sheath Dress, we are to design an outfit complete with 5 other items to go with it. So I begin with using one dress to create three looks.

Hope you like it J

Look 1: Trend Spotter
Topshop Jacket
New Look Boots
New Look Clutch
New Look Bracelet
H&M hair bows

This look is designed for the person who keeps the trends in mind. As well as pairing it with a collarless jacket which will be a huge trend for spring 2k14, but also I played with the nude tones in the dress. I added some warmth to it with the pattern and colour of the jacket and picking out key colours from that to accessories with. I finished the look off with some black heeled ankle boots and some hair bows for a cute look.

Look 2: Royals
ASOS Jacket
New Look Strappy Heels
New Look Necklace
New Look Clutch
New Look Headband

Okay there is something very regal about red and gold mixed together and with the predominate colour of the dress being black; I thought this would be perfect and also a possible Valentine’s Day look if you wish. Again i played with the nude colour in the dress in the accessories of the clutch and chain necklace but added the bold red colour. Coloured biker jackets are a huge trend coming up for spring and who doesn’t want some classic strap heels right?

Look 3: Polished
New Look Nude Heels
New Look Blazer
New Look Bag
New Look Necklace
H&M Hairband

And for the final look, I had the business woman in mind. A very clean and sleek look. Again bearing in mind the nude colour in the dress, I used it to my advantage and matching it with the heels, necklace and bag and went for a vibrant gold colour (if that is even possible) for a slick ponytail look in the hair. And completed the look with a blazer because everything looks smarter with a blazer.

So there you go. One dress styled three different ways. I hope you guys like this post and if you did, get involved in the twitter chats using #FashionFebruary and tell me what you thought of my post.
