165 days to go: Magnificent Magenta - Michelle Obama Wardrobe Challenge, Day 4

I posted about this divine dress a few weeks back.
I bought it in the My-Wardrobe sale. At around £40 it was 70% off!
Essentially, it's a re-worked t-shirt dress but the cut, the colour and the quality of the cotton explains why such a simple dress originally cost around £200.
As Michelle looks like she is wearing her dress in warmer climes - I have wintered mine up with tights and boots.
I didn't have a narrow belt so wore this one again.
If you have time check out Cat's Michelle Obama Wardrobe Challenge Gallery and cast your vote.

I wore ...
Ciel dress
Boots and pearl ear-rings - Dorothy Perkins
Cardigan - M & Co
Tghts - Tesco
Belt - M & S
Pearls - Hong Kong Pearl Market

188 days to go: Divine Dress

I had described this dress as purple but it it a little too light to be purple and a little too dark to be pink.
I had a trawl through the colour spectrum and discovered it was the much more exotic sounding name, Magenta.
The name Magenta took me back to the 1980s and the days of the uber-cool TV presenter Magenta Devine.
I don't recall her wearing magenta or any other colour apart from black - but I digress.
The point of this post is two-fold.
Firstly, while updating the details of the Pimp My Dress Challenge I realised I had pimped this dress quite a bit too.
Really it is a summer dress although its heavyweight cotton fabric means it is still winter wearable.
And secondly, does it look best with out without the scarf?
While you make up your mind check out the other ways I've worn the dress.
