So let me restart.

Black D-ring dress: c/o boohoo. Asymmetric heels: c/o boohoo. Midi ring set (worn on my actual fingers as I have child hands): c/o boohoo. The Kooples leather jacket. Rimmel Kate Moss 08 lipstick.

There are plenty of things in life you can rely on. The list includes:

- re-reading 'His Dark Materials'

- cheesy chips

- 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'

- a (strong, no sugar) mug of 'Yorkshire Tea'

- a go-to must-have wear-all-the-time little black dress

My collection of LBDs started way back when, and I always seem to treat myself to a new one every few months. Personal favourites include a velvet bodycon number I picked up for my eighteenth birthday (cor, this is a blast from the past, still stand by the sentiment though), all-over sequins for my twenty-first, and a velvet smock dress because velvet and smock. When boohoo got in touch and asked if I wanted to style up one of their dresses, I subconsciously very actively headed straight to the black section to see which one would be my next in my wardrobe. I decided to go for this shift dress with D-ring detailing (this one fits true to size, I probably didn't need to size up this time), and dressed it up with the prettiest shoes around and stacked rings. This worked out being the perfect Saturday lunch dress, because who doesn't love a dress you can adjust to fit more loosely post-dessert? No one. Absolutely no one.
