An Experiment

Everyone has their own fashion rules, don't they. Some of mine include not wearing something tight on the top and bottom (so skinny jeans must be balanced with a floaty top, and tighter tops must only be worn with things like baggy jeans or A-line skirts) and always going by fit, not by what the label inside says (I have clothes in my wardrobe from a size 8 to a size 18, and they all fit).

Well, until this week, I had another rule. Light-coloured dresses were for summer wear only, because I had the idea that they'd look weird with opaque tights. Then, earlier this week, I was at the Tube station when I saw a girl wearing a dress that I also own. If you have a look at my post from June 1st, it's the cream version of the black dress pictured there. And this girl was wearing 'my' dress with black tights, boots and a grey cardie. She looked fab. So I thought I'd give it a go! I'm wearing my dress with black ballet pumps, black tights and a long grey cardie with three-quarter sleeves. And it doesn't look weird!
