The New Classic.

boden sophia shirt dress

The new classic – Dress wise, not Iggy Azalea wise. I’ve become low-key OBSESSED with the idea of some sort of capsule wardrobe, don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to part with my kitschy vintage jumpers just yet, but there is something so… clean about having a de-cluttered wardrobe filled with items that can be interchanged day in day out, and worn with other things with ease, irrespective of the weather. It feels like you’re getting more value for your money in the long run, and I think it allows you to have a more ‘refined’ sense of style, forcing you to think quality over quantity. I am a classic dresser for the most part anyway, and try my hardest not to be swayed by too many high street trends (anyone remember the American Apparel disco pants and the Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s? – Total blogger trend buy’s for me!) Any dress that is of midi length and  nips in at the waist, will forever be a staple in my wardrobe and I am particularly keen on The Shirt Dress, having worn it layered in Winter, and  with a colourful head wrap in Summer, it is simply a staple and a true classic in my wardrobe, and the Sophia shirt dress is right up my alley with it’s a – line nipped in at the waist fit, and it’s short sleeves, perfect for a light cardigan in Spring, or a heavy vintage jumper with mustard tights and some boots in the colder weather…

    I LOVE the shape of this dress on you 🙂 and I know what you mean about capsule wardrobes… although doubt I ever could as I love the variety of colours and prints 🙂 This denim dress is perfect though. xxxxLove Paige Joannawww.paigejoanna.co.uk

    You're so beautiful! I love the dress on you. And your shoes- I've seen this the style on many bloggers, and the way they look on you have me considering but no, not sure if this is one trend I want to get on!
