Acne Studios paloma silk dress (sleeveless version), J Crew fuzzy sweater, Valentino rockstud heels, Karen Walker x Benah sloane satchel
I have a little confession to make… Not every single piece in my autumn capsule wardrobe has turned out to be
I’ve definitely got my excuses handy on both counts; the floral dress which hasn’t seen the light of day is just waiting to be tailored (the sleeves have some extra volume I’d like to flatten out), and I’ve had to place a huge emphasis on outfits which can alternate between cool and warm temperatures – our office air con seems to fluctuate by the hour, and outside the temperature can range between 17-25 deg C on any given day.
As for my sheer Acne Studios dress.. well, it’s been more a matter of finding the perfect slip to slip underneath. Something that’s as wispy as the dress itself, and is demure enough that it’s appropriate for the office, but slinky enough that it’d also look right at home during an evening out. For the moment, I’ve been getting away with throwing a fuzzy sweater over the top and calling it a day.
I’ve recently solved a similar problem with a slip dress by having a skilled tailor sew in an extra layer, to eliminate problems with additional straps from another slip etc and am really pleased with the result.
Love your blog though this is the first time I actually get around to comment 🙂

That is SUCH a good idea! I had a dress in the past which had a removeable slip (it was attached in the shoulders by a clip) so I will definitely have to look at organising that next time I’m at the tailor. Thank you so much for commenting! x
I have no advice on slips but I do know this look and the soft neutrals are sensational on you. Love this look, it’s one of my all time favourites I’ve seen on you. Repeat often!

Thanks Caroline! I bought it from Blue & Cream – they have it on sale at the moment. I think there’s only one size left but worth having a look x
