If you’re looking for an affordable take on the “floral noir” trend, this playful little dress might be for you. It’s almost more like lingerie, with its delicate lace trimmings and tie-front design. To give it a chic, edgy vibe, pair it with black tights and boots. This outfit offers a bold and graphic style rather than a typical Laura Ashley look.
The length and style are a bit outside my usual preferences. I don’t usually opt for short skirts, nor do I like showing much cleavage. However, while browsing Missguided, a few striking prints caught my eye, and I thought, why not give it a try? During winter, I used to frequently wear short skirts with tights and boots for going out, while my daytime look often included skinny jeans, a vest or t-shirt, and a leather jacket, resembling an extra from “Grease.” You can experiment with shorter skirts if you wear opaque tights beneath them.
I might sound old-fashioned, but having kids can change your fashion choices, taking some time to regain your style confidence. I’ve found myself gravitating towards mid-length dresses and loose-fitting clothes that aren’t really flattering. But when I try on outfits I owned before having kids, they don’t look too bad. So, this winter, I’m determined to wear what makes me happy, even if it means showing off a lot of leg since I’ve got these comfy Hush boots that I love.
The plunge-neck Missguided dress might be the start of a fresh fashion adventure for me. However, I do need to find some well-fitting bras since showing off my neckline requires decent support. I imagine myself looking like Eva Herzigova in those classic Wonderbra ads, but in reality, it takes some effort to achieve that look!
