The Perfect Little Blue Dress: Winser London.

I have always loved wearing dresses and they make up a significant proportion of my wardrobe. I have them in every style, colour and print imaginable and I would struggle to choose my favourite. But sometimes, a dress comes along that is absolutely and utterly perfect and the Miracle fitted dress in moonlight by Winser London is one such dress.

The Miracle collection of luxurious styles, (of dresses, skirts, trousers and leggings), is cut from an exclusive Ponte di Roma double jersey fabric, designed to cover and stretch, to curve where you curve.

The clever shaping of the curved seams emphasises and flatters the waistline and the pockets serve as both a feature and a benefit. The moonlight blue is such an exquisite shade and I can’t think of a single skin tone that it won’t flatter.

The pure silk georgette sleeves are long and have a button-cuff. A sheer sleeve adds a lightness as well as a texture.

The notch crew neckline has a hidden button and loop fastening and the back zip is signature covered grosgrain.

The dress needs little in the way of accessories, so I added my multi-coloured glitter clutch. Its simple shape doesn’t detract from the dress, but does add a little sparkle.

And a statement shoe compliments the simple shape perfectly.

I love this dress so much that I have it in a berry colour and I can’t wait to showcase it in a future blog post.

You may remember that along with the rest of The Over 40 Collective, I styled a Winser outfit back in May and on that occasion chose a Chanel-inspired cotton tweed pink jacket and a Broderie Anglaise eyelet blouse. A group of seven women, each with a former or concurrent professional career, we each have a unique and very definite style and our aim was to show just how brilliant a brand Winser is for the over 40 woman who wants to be stylish, chic, sexy yet understated and perhaps most importantly- visible. The fact that every one of us was spoiled for choice shows that Kim Winser has got it absolutely right and we can’t shout about it loud enough.

So here is how the rest of The Over 40 Collective styled their Winser London Autumn Winter outfits.

    Such a flattering shape Liz, it really shows off your curves. And you're right, it really doesn't need a lot in the way of accessories – the sparkly clutch it just perfect! I'm looking forward to seeing you wear the berry colour.

    WOW. I don't blame you for getting this dress in the berry colour too, Liz. It looks phenomenal on you! I have this same dress in the moonlight colour and I love wearing it. It is so elegant, and makes a change in a sea of little black dresses! It is a timeless design; you could have worn it 20 years ago or 10 years from now, and it still looks stylish. Gorgeous! xx

    The dress is just beautiful. I think its the sleeves that do it and the colour.

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

Ian and I went into Leeds for dinner last night to a fab restaurant (I’ll share photos later because the food was excellent). It’s our wedding anniversary on Monday so this was our celebration. I only got the jacket a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I’m going to wear it again later for a lunch date with Poppy. I’ll put all outfit details on my blog later on if I get the chance 🩷.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.
