Three ways to wear

I don't rate myself as very much of a fashionista, and really envy all you girls and guys who can effortlessly throw an outfit together. During the week I tend to wear whatever is the least creased in my wardrobe, which doesn't always make for the nicest outfit but I am generally most comfiest in Vans, jeans and a tshirt. Or my pj's, but It's not really socially acceptable to wear those outside without getting strange looks. I got invited to do a style challenge with Asda, called Dress Up With George. The George section back at the Asda over near my old flat is massive and pretty brilliant! A wee mooch around the clothes (and the £5 DVD section, of course) was always a given when in for my weekly shop. George have challenged me to style one of their dresses, three different ways. So here goes!

For my usual busy Saturday running errands I wore my black and white striped dress with a mint green jumper and some black and white plimsoles. I went to get tattooed that afternoon too, and it was still a comfy little outfit to sit in a tattoo chair for 2 hours.

This second look was my only 'made up' situation of the three, which I wore the next weekend to meet my Gran for a coffee. I thought this combination of the dress with a long sleeved cardigan and some black loafers with little gold buckles would be a good job interview outfit. Especially for someone like myself who is covered in tattoos. In this outfit you can't see that I have any at all! Can't say the same for the piercings mind you. Thank goodness my work are okay about stuff like that though.

Look 3 - Date night


The third look I wore on a date night out for dinner and bowling. I'd had a few wines before I left the house so was silly and didn't check the pictures properly before we left (blaming my tipsy self and not my photographer boyfriend) so you can't really see my shoes but they are these black wedge boots. I'd definitely wear this dress with no tights if the weather was a wee bit warmer, but the evenings are still pretty cold in Glasgow at the moment. Hopefully not for long though!

I've seen fellow bloggers like Lynsay and Amanda absolutely rock this sort of 'three ways to wear' type post. I feel like my selections were a tad on the safe side, which isn't a bad thing but looking back on photos I wish I had been a bit more adventurous! How else would you have styled this black and white striped dress? Or spiced my selections up a bit? Let me know so I can steal your awesome ideas! I can't forget to mention that everything I am wearing above (apart from my Fred Perry rain coat in the first photo) are all from George at Asda. Makes that weekly shop all the more tempting and dangerous for your purse.
