What I Wore Wednesday: Studs, Skulls & Leopard Remix

I'm still struggling to pull together new outfits out of the clothes that I have and make them work for the office. My office is quite conservative with a "casual" Friday so with the exception of Fridays I'm wearing dresses every day. I tend to fall back on my go-to Cynthia Rowley dresses over and over again but I decided that I need some basic solid coloured dresses that I can accessorize differently.

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!
