OOTD | THE CASUAL DRESS & TARTAN SCARF COMBO.

dress: New Look, Scarf: New Look, Jacket: River Island

It has been a while since I wore a dress, especially during autumn and winter, but this one caught my eye as soon as I walked into New Look a couple of weeks ago.  It is the most simple grey design with black faux leather around the collar and sleeves which I think really completes it nicely.  I was a bit worried about it being a bit short for casual day wear, but I think when worn with black tights it works pretty well.  I saw this when I went looking through the January sales - except this was new season and not in the sale, oops!  

I also treated myself to this tartan scarf when in there too, I never thought that this would be a print that I could love but this has definitely won me over.  It is such a bright, bold red that it is probably best worn with simple colours such as black and grey, so there is no awful clashing!  

I've paired them both with my River Island jacket, which I bought back in the summer because I loved the panels and flattering shape.  

I have to say that New Look is not one of my usual favourite high street shops, but they have got some really lovely pieces in there at the moment, and as soon as pay day comes back around I will be heading back to see what else I can pick up!  

Have you bought anything from New Look lately that you love?  What do you think of these bits? xx
