A dress for all seasons

Green and pink asymmetric dress by Studio at Preen by Debenhams, ideal for all seasons
I don't buy dresses very often and I often wonder why, because when you find a good one, all your prayers are answered. They're comfortable, easy to style, and flattering. The Studio by Preen line at Debenhams has been raved about by many fashion writers and I couldn't resist this asymmetric dress featuring my two favourite colours, pink and green.
I was a bit dubious about the very long midi length when it first appeared, but now I'm a big fan because skirts and dresses just look so much more modern and contemporary than knee length. Studio by Preen was introduced by Debenhams two years ago and has been very popular - the dresses sell out very quickly. One of the Times' writers wrote recently how she wore a Studio by Preen dress to a very select gathering of socialites and fashionistas, and she got more compliments for that dress than any of her designer numbers.

It's a dress for all seasons:  short sleeved, it's perfect for summer.  Add a cardigan, as I did, and it's good for spring. A jacket also adds extra warmth and a bit more dressiness for a wedding.

This style of dress looks great with ankle boots. Knee length boots would also be good. 
My silver necklace was gifted by Aphrodite Jewellery, a Dutch online jewellery store with all the latest looks, very competitively priced. My layered necklace bar in silver is now in the sale at 12 euro 90. They have some gorgeous mesh bracelets and statement necklaces - I want them all!

My mini trunk bag is by Aspinal of London and my ankle boots by Russell and Bromley, now sold out but these and these are similar.

Disclosure:  I was gifted with a necklace by Aphrodite Jewellery. Everything else in the post was bought by me.

  4. What a beautiful dress! Not only is the color combo perfect, but the front drape is my favorite! It's a simple detail yet so chic.

  6. I love this dress a lot Gail, they way it softly drapes around the body. The print is very pretty, love that you opted for white pair of boots for an edgy feel. Great outfit
