Swing Dress

Ombre dip dye hair

Red swing dress from ASOS

Shoe boots from Sperry

dress: ASOS, shoes: c/o Sperry, ring: c/o Trash & Trinkets

A simple long-sleeved dress is an Autumn essential. Black or grey is probably far more versatile, but I love a splash of red, and I’ve toned down the look with these awesome shoe-boots from Sperry. I love the brogue detailing – so perfect for this season’s tailoring trend – and I think the colour and shape make them great for work as well as more casual outfits like this. On a side note – I really like how my hair looks in these photos, but I’m getting it cut soon at Daniel Mikhael’s salon in London. Any ideas what I could get done? I want to keep most of the length but I really need a change in the style of the cut now, I’ve had this cut for way too long!

    This dress is so amazing on you! Wish I was skinny enough to wear pretty, floaty things! I love red too 🙂 I feel the same about my hair right now! Really unsure what to do with it!!

    The boots are so pretty! Loving the nice splash of color as well 😀
    Maybe some side-sweped bangs with some layers at front? Think it will suit you
