A few weeks ago the gorgeous Lois got in touch asking if I’d like to pick a dress from Fresh Flames and style it for night and for day. Initially I was going to say no…the dresses on offer were bodycon, and it’s a well known fact now that Laura doesn’t do bodycon…
also, I had never really heard of Fresh Flames and wasn’t familiar with the store.
After taking a closer look at the Fresh Flames website, I decided to overcome my phobia and take on the challenge. For those that haven’t yet checked it out, Fresh Flames is an online Boutique with a cool and quirky range of clothes and accessories for men and women.
I picked the Abstract Wide Sleeve bodycon dress, which retails at a super affordable £30. For day I paired it with plain black tights, suede Jeffrey Campbell lace up flats and a plain but practical jersey cardigan from New Look
For my evening look I didn’t go wildly different; if, on the rare occasion I go out after work, I tend to just jazz up whatever I’ve worn during the day to save time when I get home. I swapped the black tights for some F21 Sparkly ones, and the flats were exchanged for Irregular Choice sparkly boots. I am minimal when it comes to jewellery but did add a stacked bangle.
Overall, I’m quite pleased with how I made a dress that I would previously never have considered as an option for any occassion work as something I’d wear for both work, and for a night out with friends. Now to loose the fear and actually wear this. For real. Thank you Fresh Flames for helping me take a step forwards!
