All about the new tulle strappy ballet dresses that Topshop have just brought out and how wearable they are! At just £29 they are a great addition to any girls wardrobe and come in black, nude and grey! They are a perfect length to wear in the day and feel comfortable but also perfect with a heel for night time! The possibilities for layering obviously excited us the most and we both got busy putting our own personal stamp on these cute little numbers! 

I went for a black jersey roll neck over the dress which almost makes the dress look like a net skirt. I wore my new checked cape from Miss Guided which I have linked at the top of this post. Since seeing it on two of my favourite blogs She Wears Fashion and Fashion Influx it was one of those items I just absolutely had to have in my wardrobe and I just know that for £24 I will get a silly amount of wear out of it- under and over outfits! It makes me feel super confident and where I usually don't wear a checked shirt I felt like it was more of a 'Naomi' version being more dramatic and dressy with the longer style. A clean black gold cross belt broke the top and dress up and looked great with my studded boots! Accessorised with my studded gold clutch which kept to the grungy feel and has a super sexual hand strap which looks great with my chunky rings! Finally my purple hat which picked out the purple in my shirt and looked great with my gold round sunnies! I love the mix of feminine net with the checks and leather clutch, always a mix between feminine and masculine makes the look rock! 

A definite 'Must Have' from Topshop for AW13... Question is how will you style yours?

If there is one particular item I have totally fallen in love with during this transitional period it's this beautiful dress. Available in pastel pink and grey, it's a simple light weight jersey dress with tuelle netting around the skirt half. Gorgeous simple with enough excitement in the texture and can be worn so many ways in all weathers? Perfect 

I can't wait to totally grunge this down with a black baggy boyfriend jumper, teddy coat and thick black tights and patterned scarf in the winter but whilst it's still been vaguely mild I've decided to grunge it up with a subtlety detailed collar, statement necklace and black leather. The sharp and monochrome pieces with the dress are a real contrast with the ballerina-esque dress to create a dark and dramatic outfit.
