Casual - For shopping trips & generally chilling out at the weekend this is how I am currently wearing my Aldara. It's so comfy to wear with a slouchy jumper over it and my favourite boots. My gorgeous gold satchel adds a bit of glamour and of course in this baltic weather I stick a coat on too!
Valentines - Pink to make the boys wink. We are going for a couple of drinks followed by a cozy night in with a yummy home cooked meal this V-day so I will be lounging around in the pink Aldara teamed with my cute New Look flats and slouchy Warehouse blazer. Lollipop optional.
Lunch with the girls - I love meeting my girls for some good food & even better chats and tend to go for dressy/casual. Here I have teamed the burnt orange Aldara with my favourite Office leopard lace ups and Warehouse clutch. To dress it down a bit I am also wearing my tan Next cardigan and have finished it off with a tan belt.
Wedding - My favourite of all my Aldaras, this colour is honestly beautiful. As seen on this post I love to team it with my old faithful Topshop Cardigan and a gold belt. I have also added a pair of purple mid heel courts from Dorothy Perkins and a black and gold studded clutch from River Island. If I was actually going to a wedding wearing this I think I would find something better to wear in my hair. I don't often wear hats or fascinators to weddings but think something gold and glitzy would look great!
Night out - For a night out I would stay faithful to the LBD and go for the black Aldara. I'm not sure if I have shrunk it or if it has always been shorter than the others but it's the perfect length for a night out. I have teamed it with this great Missguided bright pink blazer and a slick of Topshop 'All about me' lipstick. The amazing PPQ for Office platform wedge Mary Jane's are Sara Luxe's fault. I love that they give me a lot of height with no discomfort, win/win! Oh and they were only £24, wow. Finally I have added a stripy clutch from River Island which is a must to carry my night out essentials.
Do you own the Aldara yet? How do you wear yours?
**Edit - I'm on the Missguided blog today, love how they have displayed my photos!**

I'm toying with getting the mint one too... not sure I can pull that colour off. It's definitely an amazing dress! xx
DeleteI love the orange dress too. I wouldn't have thought to put orangey/brown tones together, but they work fabulously!x
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I loved the orange one that much til I pulled it out of the wardrobe, I had forgotten how nice it is! xx

DeleteThat dress is beautiful can see why you love it so much! I really want one now. xx
ReplyDeleteGo for it, you won't regret it. Hardest part is choosing which colour ;) xx
DeleteLove this post Sarah, you're looking lovely in every single outfit. Can't believe you have so many of these dresses, are there any other colours you haven't got? Think my favourite look is the wedding, the purple colours are gorgeous but I also love the going out look too, can't beat a black and pink outfit. Jealous of those PPQ shoes too, they were sold out when I got round to looking for them :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah! I haven't got a few of the colours but I do have more than I've pictured... hehe. That's a shame about the wedges, you would have loved them xx
DeleteLOVE the styling you've done. Think my favourite is the 'wedding' look.

DeleteI love all these outfits! I have a similar dress in turquoise, I ought to wear it more. I think the black one would look fab with all different coloured tights too.
