Long sleeved shift dresses at Wallis
Long sleeved shift dress styles are a great addition to your Winter Wardrobe. The long sleeved style makes them much warmer than a traditional shift, and they look great with opaque tights and chunky ankle boots or Mary Janes. The shift dress has a 1960s feel, but is also very versatile. Worn with a strappy metallic sandal and a clutch bag, and you have a chic evening look. Add tights, boots and a blazer, and this will work well as workwear. With a chunky knit cardigan and a woolly scarf, this can make a cool winter option. A long sleeved shift dress certainly earns its keep in your wardrobe, and…

High Street Outlet Joanna Occasion Party Dress
High Street Outlet is one of my most visited websites. I love great quality High Street pieces, and totally love a bargain, so it stands to reason that I would love a site that offers up to 70% off the recommended retail price. The website has new lines added every week, with warm winter coats being added at the moment, so this is not just a site where you can pick up a bargain to put away until next summer, you can buy things that you can actually wear now. I am lucky enough to have a lovely relationship with High Street Outlet where they often send me clothes to…

The dress in question is ‘Lace and Jersey dress’, which is currently in the sale as Black Friday weekend continues. The dress is in a very soft jersey fabric, with plenty of…

Wallis new season – dresses with sleeves!
Today’s post is a continuation of the look towards the new season ranges that are now hitting stores and websites. I think we can safely say that we all accept that Summer is over and Autumn has begun. I personally love the changing of the seasons, and the new styles that come with it. Autumn, in particular, is a lovely season that brings gold, brown and orange to the fore in terms of nature, but also see new colours hitting stores. This season cobalt and teal are looking to be popular choices – a real departure after a summer of pastel shades, whilst there are also an abundance of red…
