I was out at ASDA to get a new smoothie cup since I broke mine after only one week and I noticed a grey flock-effect dress for just £10! So I grabbed it without trying it on and hoped it would work and luckily it fit. I think it is a great basic piece without being too boring that hopefully I can dress up or down with difference accessories.
Black & Blonde Glasses: Vivienne Westwood
Grey Dress- George
Sugar Skull Neon Pendant- New Look
Black Studded Bag- Thailand's Finest
Black Leggings- Marks and Spencer
Leopard Heels-Dune
I'm really not sure about this pendant. It was only £2 in the New Look sale and I bought it thinking I'd take the sugar skull and make it into a keychain but thought I'd try it as a necklace first. I felt like Joan Holloway with her gold pen necklace all day and ended up taking it off because it was bouncing off my chest I when I walked and my desk when I sat. I do like the pop of neon pink but I'm still unsure.
I've said that my bag is "Thailand's Finest" but that actually isn't a brand but just refers to the back that my FIL and his wife got it for me in Thailand! If you've never been to Bangkok there are lots and lots of purses; some with "brands" and some without. I love the studs and the bow on this bag and it's big enough for my stuff but not too big to take out to dinner.
Hopefully I'll get a lot of wear out of this dress and style it lots of different ways. How would you wear this dress? What accessories? Shoes? Tights? Let me know how I should style it next!

I really love this outfit. I've been eyeing up that dress for a while now debating whether or not to try it. I think I may have to pay Asda a visit.
And yay! Thank you for mentioning me. I like the idea of most clicks and outfit voting. x
That is a great dress that can be accessorized in so many ways, including adding colorful cardigan sweaters and blazers as the weather cools. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Great dress. And I love the sugar skull. Love. It.
That dress is going to be fantastic in the cooler months layering with tights, boots, cardigans, jackets, scarves, belts. Love the idea of voting for a favourite look of the week and still in love with your shoes! xx
That sounds like a great idea!! I would definitely vote for it.. been seeing lots of great outfits thru linkups! :)

I swear you wear those leopard shoes just to make me jealous! Ha! Seriously though I love this outfit and I can't believe the price of that dress. Such a lovely shape and I bet you'll end up wearing it to death :-)
I love this outfit! It's definitely something I would surely rock...I love black outfits. Your bag is so cool! I remember back then in the Philippines I used to buy stuff specifically handbags from a shop that sells mostly from Bangkok. They are pretty affordable and stylish.
I love leopard print shoes! I find that I can wear them with almost everything!! Thanks for the link up!
Loving the shoes! You look adorable :)

thanks for doing this link up!!
That dress is like the perfect blank canvas! You could do almost anything with it!
Because of the shade of gray of the dress, there are endless ways that you can style it. One way I would style it is probably with a pair of chucks in a fun color. :-)
I love the bag, and the shoes! That dress is great because you can seriously wear it with nearly anything. I might pair it with something bright and colorful, or a black/white/gray printed cardigan.
Leopard print and skulls always a good accessory. Love the necklace in particular
I think that dress was a great buy - I can definitely see it being super versatile, working in any season depending on how you style it. :)
I really like the leopard flats with this. Very cute.
I like seeing who got the most views and the voting too. Sounds like fun.
They're actually heels but I think it's hard to tell from the pic :)
I totally grabbed it without trying it on first and it paid off!
