It may be pay day weekend, but in order to keep one eye on the budget whilst the other wanders to all things designer, a style stealing strategy needs to be occasionally adopted.
The building blocks of any strong wardrobe needs solid foundations. And, it's a NOT so secret closet rule that the LBD should feature there for all the right reasons and seasons.....case in point, a black jersey dress that will fit effortlessly into your streamlined summer look.

If you want to order the Autograph dress....I'd say HURRY, they were selling fast. Mine arrived yesterday, the quality is fabulous, a wonderful heavy jersey that drapes and ties beautifully.
However if you wish to upgrade (who wouldn't) and you can spare the pennies? Then the beautifully cut and crafted Joseph dress
would be a sophisticated, seamless addition to any wardrobe.
Oh my goodness Helen....how amazing is the Autograph homage.....it's good enough for me to get myself into M&S first thing on a Bank Holiday Monday that's for sure! Brilliant find....thank you for the tip off! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad is it Michelle...But besides that it's a great dress for the price. Hope you can get one I don't think you'll regret it! Helen xx
DeleteThey're virtually identical - I love the Autograph on, excellent spot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanette. I was just whizzing through M&S when I spotted it, and knew straight away it would be a goodie! xx
DeleteOh my! That's an amazing 'copy'! Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteHelen, I just love the simplicity of it, and at a price that quite frankly it would be very rude to refuse!
DeleteHelen xx
I have seen both of these dresses in the flesh so to speak. The Autograph version is actually my preferred option. Now in at £22
