I have to admit to wearing loads of dresses during summer but not so many come autumn and winter. I love how they make getting dressed in the morning so simple, you only have to think about shoes and bags, not what goes with what.
One thing my wardrobe is sadly lacking is a dress (or dresses) that I can wear during the cross over of seasons and beyond with tights and boots. Something perfect for our current climate where it can still get quite hot some days but mornings and late afternoons can be quite chilly. A dress that would be good with or without tights and with three quarter sleeves would be a welcome wardrobe addition, so when Monsoon got in touch and asked me to choose something from their new season collection, I definitely had a transeasonal dress in mind.
I loved the print of the Alina dress and as a Cocoon shaped dress is a no brainer for us apple shaped figures, it fitted the season and figure brief perfectly.
A lovely soft medium weight jersey I have been strutting around in it with bare legs and beloved Birkenstocks, but give it another week and no doubt I will be dressing my transeasonal dress up for slightly cooler temperatures with a gilet and boots or maybe a jacket and brogues.
Evelyn Gilet £49. Navy Vienna Western Boot £69. Alina Print Cocoon Dress £49. Wendy Navy Jacket £59. Denmark Brogue £65. Leather Shopper £89. All Monsoon.
OK so I really shouldn't have done that because I am now seriously lusting after the gilet and navy ankle boots!
My dress came before I went away on holiday so there are loads more gorgeous new season pieces to choose from now, but these have to be the six which are currently making my autumn/winter wishlist even longer! I mean that check coat - well just WOW!
