One little black dress from Hobbs - worn by three very different women in three different ways

 

As part of the campaign with Pavilions Shopping Centre I was involved in a style event at Hotel La Tour.

 

During the course of the evening I gave a presentation which covered key trends, instant updates and workwear. I also featured one dress worn in three different ways and we had two female models who were styled in three different outfits.

 This is what I wore for the evening, the Hobbs Selina Dress (£159)

 

 

 

 

 I also wore these amazing gold Astra court  shoes (£103.20) which too were from Hobbs. They also come in a fantastic pewter colour.

 

                     

 

The final part of my outfit was this Cawthorn belt (£39) in leopard print, also from Hobbs.

 

   

So really I wanted to talk about the dress - just because it's so simple and easy to wear. The elbow length sleeves are really flattering, as is its knee length. It was this dress that all three of us wore in different ways.

 

And here are the three of us in it. These are just ideas but there are so many things that you could do with this dress.

On the left is Angie, wearing hers in a modern way with a pop of colour from her bright pink H&M necklace and red Hobbs bag. On the right is Natasha (you may recognise her from TV adverts) looking glamourous with an inky blue faux fur stole, also from Hobbs, and a patent bag from H&M. Equally it could be styled with pearls - a long string or chunkier style, for a Chanel look.

We all wore heels (Angie black snake print courts, Natasha black peep toes) but I think that it would look great with patent loafers or brogues, ballet pumps or sparkly smoking slippers. It could also take you from work to evening with the addition of just a few accessories. Coloured shoes would be great too!

 

As you can see, we are all very different. Angie is 5ft 11" tall and wears a size 12. Natasha has the most amazing curves and wears a size 14 to 16. Then there's me, 5ft 6" and a size 8

Thanks to Angie, Natasha and Graham, our male model for the evening, who were supplied by the Alan Sharman Agency and who also supplied the make up artist, Carol Maye. Thanks also to S&X media for organising the event and for my friends for coming along to offer their support.
