Fashion February | Week 1

As part of the new project I mentioned in my last post, called Fashion February (it was created by my friend Ali, you can find her blog here) But basically, each week of February there is a certain topic in which you have to post about. This weeks product/topic is: The NUMARI "The Diagonal Colour Block Sheath Dress".

Although the dress comes in a range of colours my favourite is this one because I think black is a very classic colour and perfect for a dress, and also the nude really compliments it. Also the shape of the dress is really nice and looks nice on all body shapes. Also the good thing about this colour combination is that it can be dressed up or dressed down. As an idea of what I would pair it with, here I have made an outfit set.

( SORRY FOR THE BAD QUALITY:( )

So the quality went weird, but hopefully you can still see the items properly, but here is a list of the items I would choose to wear with it, and as you can see the look is quite edgy, but i think because the dress looks quite formal and classy, it would contrast so well with the leather and studs etc. It also is mainly a monochrome theme, but the handbag is a splash of colour and I really love acrylic clutches.

1) H&M Marled Coat
I chose this as the main piece to compliment the dress, because of its slouchy 'boyfriend' style it would contrast the dress balancing the look out. I also wanted to keep with the monochrome theme by bringing grey in, and also being it is marled, it adds dimension and texture to the look.

2) Jeffrey Campbell Lita Black Spike
Firstly, Jeffrey Campbell has to be one of my favourite shoe designers and all of his designs make me weak at the knees (not literally though). But anyway, so with the look of the leather it straight away looks sleeker and then the studs give it the edge that I love. I generally love the shape of the Litas, even though some may argue its more of a boot. But i still think it can look ladylike.

3) Jimmy Choo Acrylic Clutch Bags
As you can see I included 2 designs as I couldn't decide. Firstly this was the pop of colour that is in the look and I only wanted one colourful piece. I love clutches that are Acrylic/Perspex as they add a nice vibe to the look and also have some great secure designs. I just think these clutches look so well made and very smooth and modern for the look. Also they look like they could fit items in without looking bulky.

4) Sterling Silver 'Rebecca' Necklace
Finally, the only jewellery included in the look. I really wanted to keep jewellery to a minimal with maybe a few rings or a bracelet. But I chose this necklace as it adds a personalised touch to the look which I like without drawing too much of the attention away from the dress. I also felt like with a statement like clutch, bold jewellery wasn't needed.

So that is my review of the NUMARI "The Diagonal Colour Block Sheath Dress". Overall I really love this dress because it is such a classic that can be worn in so many ways by so many people. I love black dresses and the block of nude adds a twist without overpowering it. I think this dress is a perfect item and would be a good wardrobe staple.

Would you wear this dress, if so what colour or what would you pair it with?
