Alternative To A Little Black Dress: Over 40 Style

Bonmarché kindly sent me a dress of my choice for the purpose of this review.

Alternative To A Little Black Dress: Over 40 Style. Hello lovelies, thanks for stopping by again today. So how are you today?

Are you looking for an alternative to a little black dress? Something not too bright, fits beautifully, very comfortable and stylish to wear?

Real style

Alternative To A Little Black Dress: Over 40 Style:

Today I am sharing this amazing Autumn dress I have found at Bonmarché. It is beautiful!! If you like lace, fancy an alternative to the little black dress, then you will love this one.

To be honest, I was never a fan of plain Navy dresses before I seen this one. I noticed it online and something drawn me in straight away.

Not sure if it was the colour, style, lace or what but as soon as I saw it, I knew this was going to be my dress.

I could not wait for it to arrive, to see if it looks as good as it did on their website. It did, if not better.

What Do I Think?

I am really pleased with this dress and I know I will get lots of wear out of it throughout Autumn/Winter.

It feels so comfortable to wear and feels great on. I picked a size 10 and it fits beautifully, also a little room if I go out for a meal in it. This will be my go to dress when I am going out.

Something stylish and pretty for many occasions over the cooler months.

Something that could be dressed up with heels for a night out of dresses down with boots and bright tights for days out and shopping trips.

    Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. You look great in this navy lace dress. Great idea to dress it down with the yellow tight. This way it works also for day.

    Oh very nice! I think navy is way more flattering than black sometimes, it's not as harsh in colour.
