After an extensive search through my wardrobe in preparation for some press events it dawned on me that it might be time to invest in a nice sophisticated and flattering dress that would be perfect for evenings out over the Summer. As far as i’m concerned you can get away with wearing the same dress again and again if you go to different places and of course mix and match accessories so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
Turning on the computer I browsed the internet to looking for a dress that would be suitable for a range of occasions. My salvation came when I had a quick glance through the George website. I had recalled a friend had mentioned they had found a nice dress at George so I thought it was worth a look. Popping over to their site I was impressed at the range of dresses they had available (we all know from my weekly Majique London posts that I simply adore dresses). I spotted a dress that looked perfect.
The fit was good and allows more for size 10-12 which is great if you are having an off day.
Naturally one can’t purchase a new dress without the obligatory new pair of shoes.
These super cute sparkly shoes are just what was needed and can be mixed and matched with dresses, jeans and even leggings.
And, well, as I was at it, I selected a bag too!
Ordering online was simple thankfully and within a few short days, voila:
I selected this dress as I loved the style and cut and it really is a flattering design. Blue makes a nice change from black although let it be said ‘one can NEVER have enough little black dresses’!!!!! Or shoes, or bags lol.
The bag was perfect as it went well with the dress and shoes and it can fit everything you could possibly need. I likened it to the bag Mary Poppins had that fit everything including the kitchen sink although with a more stylish appearance.
Te bag also expands if required to.
There is a little pouch for lips gloss/lipsticks/keys and also a zip pocket for valuables.
The bag seals at the front with a clasp with a strap that covers the top so that your belongings are safe which is great if you are out and about in the busy streets of London (or anywhere else) like myself.
The items all work well together and can be mixed with others to create a whole new look.

It all looks great but I do love the bag! Plenty of room for all those things you can’t possibly leave home without, perfect.
I think so, I can even fit in a few nappies, baby wipes etc and no one is any the wiser.
Love the dress! Shoes and handbag are nice as well. All in all great outfit
Thanks Val, I am planning on wearing it to my next press event. Now I just need to be invited to one lol.

It really is, gets everything in there. Bet I could fit the baby in too lol.
I really like the bag because it looks so roomy. I normally have a shoulder strap bag but this one looks nice under the arm.
This one is a great size. I find I can keep an emergency stash of baby changing items in it which is a bonus, it’s like a Mary Poppins bag lol.

The bag is my favourite. I just can’t get enough, especially, black ones.
Me too, black is great as it goes with just about everything.
I love the shoes, they’re elegant yet sparkly 🙂
The sparkle really does make these shoes stand out.
I love that dress. The colour is stunning and the lacy design is feminine and flattering. That was a very good find 🙂
Thanks Louise, I love the colour and it makes a change from a little black dress.
I really love the dress. It’s just the style I usually wear.
It’s a lovely dress and I plan to wear it in winter too although with a shawl.
I totally agree this dress is perfect for some many kinds of events and I love it – looks amazing on and the sleeve detail is beautiful. Thanks for sharing
