I ordered this dogtooth monochrome dress from boohoo on Thursday and it arrived yesterday which I was really surprised about because boohoo can sometimes take a good while to dispatch their orders. Looking at the dress when I took it out of the packaging, it's looked so small for a size 10 (my mum even joked that I got a kids age 10) but when I put it on it was actually quite stretchy and fitted really well.
The length of the dress was quite short (may be because I'm quite tall though) so I wouldn't wear it without tights on underneath- especially not in this weather! I paired the dress with simple think black tights and a pair of black Chelsea boot heels to keep with the monochrome look of the outfit.
I added a silver necklace to my outfit to contrast it against the monochrome colour scheme of the outfit, also because every outfit needs a little bit of bling! Big bold accessories wouldn't match too nicely with the dress because of the heavy dogtooth pattern the dress already has. I thought the silver was a subtle way to dress the outfit up.
As with a lot of my outfits, I wore my dress with my watch and a simple bracelet that I wear most days. I didn't want to overdo the outfit with accessories because the pattern is bold enough on its own.
This is a lovely dress and such a bargain at £12. It's a really nice piece to have in your wardrobe to just throw on in. Rush without having to go mad on layering or adding accessories, simple pair of black tights and some boots make it a great look for this time of the year.
