Simply Styled – The Black Shirt Dress

Black Shirt Dress and Whistles Bag Outfit

It’s November, time to dress in head to toe black – just kidding. Although this is my second outfit post in a row in which I am actually wearing all black, adding just a hint of colour with my shoes. Sometimes all black styling simplifies life just a little bit though, and it can allow you to play with coloured accessories instead, like I have done with these shoes.

Ark Black Shirt Dress and Whistles Lizard Tote

These heels have been featured on my blog numerous times, they are those sturdy staples that seem to go with so much and have a quality that doesn’t seem to wear easily. I’m trying to purchase more items like that these days. For example my bag is a recent purchase and those of you who may have watched my most recent YouTube video, will know that it’s one of my new favourites. Like the shoes, you’ll be seeing a lot more of this bag in my future outfit posts. I plan on slowly introducing more good quality pieces into my wardrobe that I can wear and use time and time again.

With a piece like this black shirt dress from Ark, it’s also a great item to wear time and time again. On this occasion I was heading to the cinema but it could easily be worn for work, or styled casually with a pair of trainers. It’s currently been quite mild here in England, so a jacket wasn’t needed on this occasion, which is just as well because I’m yet to find the perfect winter coat.

At the moment I’m really enjoying simple styling. Owning several items that are mostly interchangeable makes getting dressed so much easier.

    Loving the all black look with the pops of colour. I agree that an all black look is perfect for playing up other aspects of your outfit, styling or makeup.

    Ooooh, I love the pop of blue! Simple styling is right up my alley, too – so much easier to get dressed in the morning when you can literally wear one piece with any other piece. My kind of “pop of color” while wearing all black is like, a grey cardigan hahaha.
