Checked Dress

With Christmas on our doorstep, what better way to inject a bit of colour into my wardrobe and celebrate by purchasing a red dress? That was my excuse anyway. Topshop does well for wardrobe staples and timeless items that never go out of fashion. Checked prints are one such example and I see this dress as an investment.

The same can be said for an oversized, tan bag-you can wear it with anything. Neutral colours ease the stress of that pre-work outfit panic and make the frantic morning rush a little easier. The size is also ideal for throwing in books, magazines and the overflowing makeup bag.
