I don't think your link is correct, its showing maternity wear when I click.

ggirl · 19/08/2011 19:27

this dress but with short sleeves in blue

Hard to picture but yes i think it might, sorry. It would depend on shoes etc though.

beige wedge peep toes, so similar to jacket

open to other suggestions as it's a difficult dress to find cover upfor

Hmm, i've been thinking but its a hard one, with beige shoes you might pull it off, give me a min and i'll think.

IO seem to style the AW dresses with the leather biker so perhaps you are just being very fashion forward. Loving their winter dresses.

lol maybe
I like the plum wrap.
Ordered the hipster plum wrap style one and it looked awful on me. I def need it to be knee length.

I have never actually kept anything i ordered from IO as i am not as amazonian as i think i am, it always swamps me, hoping the Maternity stuff is better.

Think I'd put it with a cropped/shrunken blazer style. Something like this, www.warehouse.co.uk/drape-pocket-jacket/Coats-&-Casual-Jackets/warehouse/fcp-product/305494

ggirl · 19/08/2011 20:14

If you click through the h and m blazer the black one is styled with similar blue underneat.

magicmelons · 19/08/2011 20:17

I actually like the light grey one.

ggirl · 19/08/2011 20:19

hmm yes , but then black shoes?

OP posts:
magicmelons · 19/08/2011 20:23

No i think you could carry on with beige after all you'll only have the coat on outside and the black shoes might not look right on their own, i think if you wear some accessories , beige shoes and jacket you'd look good.
