Need winter style help!

I've got some vouchers for La Redoute, so looking for £30 worth of stuff for the winter.

If I bought www.laredoute.co.uk/stretch-knit-cowl-neck-dress.htm?ProductId=324176545&t=6 this dress, do you think I could wear it with opaque tights or black leggings and black biker boots?

I'm trying to get away without having to buy any more footwear but have some lovely flat red leather ballet pumps and black biker boots for the winter. Also a pair of black suede knee length boots - would they go with that dress?

knee length boots are flat btw.

Yes to your qu. But be warned - LaREdoute knitwear goes bobbly v quickly. Otherwise I really like it and am tempted.

Yes, I've got a couple of la redoute jersey things from the summer.

What about [[http://www.laredoute.co.uk/short-sleeved-sweater-dress-6-colours.htm?ProductId=324176548&t=6 this one]. Do you think I could put a black polo neck under it when it gets colder?

Oh, and shin length biker boots or knee length suede flatties with the first dress?

Knee length boots with the first dress definately.Maybe biker boots depending how tight the dress is [or how skinny you are!].The second is not a link?.I like La Redoute clothes at the mo. and was thinking of ordering the silk/cotton/cashmere clothes as i love the fact that the clothes are not all synthetic fabrics.I have recently ordered some silk/cotton cowlnecked t shirts in the sale and they feel and look lovely on.Good luck with your choices!.

Can't decide! Would the second dress (linked to properly at 16:42:41 look ok with a black polo neck under, opaque tights and boots?

I thought MN was full of style gurus!

I don't think it would hang right with a polo underneath.Maybe a camisole underneath and a long cardigan would be better.If you have skinny legs - yes with the opaque tights and boots - but it looks very short to me![i am probably a completely different age demographic to you].

Don't think the 2nd would work with a poloneck. Better with either a vesty top, or a thin, long sleeved tee in a contrasting colour-try Uniqlo or American Apparel. Would look good with thick tights and boots though.

Am not, generally, a fan of a cowl neck, but as you are, I think dress no. 1 would look fine with tights and bikers.
