Outfit post: French Connection Red Dress

Recently I was asked if I wanted to do some work with French Connection which obviously I said I did! I LOVE French Connection and am blessed there is an outlet near me in Gunwarf Quays in Portsmouth (you have to visit - they also have a discount MAC shop!)

Anyway I was taking a peek through their dresses and this one caught my attention!

 This is the French Connection Alanis Jersey Maxi Dress  and it is STUNNING! It's made of a gorgeous tomato red, heavy jersey fabric which drapes beautifully. 

 The front has a cross-over meaning you can make it as booby as you'd like. It also has a tie belt and the length of the shoulder straps can be changed which is good for us tall girls who don't want an ankle-swinging maxi dress.

 Here I'm wearing it with a gold lace necklace from H&M, and gold sandals from Accessorize. I love that you can add just a couple of simple accessories.

This dress really has the wow factor - I had one of those lovely moments wearing it when I walked in to show my boyfriend and he stopped and said "wow" which is a reaction we can all agree we love! 

The dress costs £85 and I'd say is worth every penny. I adore this dress and how it makes me feel. It hurts a little that I've decided to save it for a wedding in August! I want to wear it constantly!
