Karina Dress Styled Three Ways

I adore purple and grey together. This old purple leather jacket is a favourite of mine.

Grey is a wonderful option as it isn’t as harsh as black.

The subtle pattern on this dress creates lush visual texture and the neutral colour works with everything I own.

This dress would be an option to consider instead of your typical LBD.

The tone on tone pattern adds personality.

Here is me doing my best “pro model” pose to show you the dress has pockets.

It only took me 8 years to master that pose.

Yay me!

Did I ever mention that before I had my blog I was intensely camera shy? I despised photos of myself. As soon as the camera came out my body and facial muscles would stiffen. My photos looked like mug shots of serial killers. I avoided having my photo taken as much as possible prior to my blog.

Style blogging has taught me to relax a bit more in front of the camera.

I was a bit like Chandler from Friends.

To this day there are years in my life where no photos were taken. Unlike today’s “selfie” obsessed generation the non existence of photos with “likes” didn’t measure my self worth. I fear for the young girls that are growing up with the added pressure of social media influencing their internal dialog.

I have no sweet segueway back to the dress so we’ll just jump back shall we?
