For the imperfect Fashion lover.

Midi Pencil Dress, for Work | The Blank Canvas

Midi Pencil Dress,the perfect blank canvas | Cobalt, Teal & Black | Fake Fabulous, over 40

A midi length pencil dress is such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe.
It can be dressed up, down, or in between.
It suits almost every occasion...from evenings out, days at work, popping to the shops or hanging at home.
In trainers, chunky boots or party shoes.
Anything goes!

Once you have adapted the neckline to suit your body shape (for example a V would suit a larger bust) then you can accessorise to suit your personality.

A dress like this is a blank canvas on which to stamp your style.

Today I went for a mixture of teal and cobalt, making for a satisfying clash on a cold and drab day.

Of course any coloured tights would work, just wear whatever floats your colour boat!
You could also choose from a huge range of necklaces/brooches/earrings/belts... the sky's the limit!

I picked this dress up in the sale rail at TKmax for a few quid.
It is comfortable and warm (which is great) but it needs a slip underneath to prevent any cling.

A cosy thermal top was a must (no surprise there!) and thankfully this stripy one adds a little personality as well as a cosy hug.

A turquoise necklace, teal gloves and colourful tights added pops of colour at the edges.
This fun bag and chunky patent boots finished things off nicely.
