Come As You Are {Fashion Forward}

In the six months or so since the wonderful Katherine and I started Fashion Forward, we've had a blast discussing everything from little black dresses to white wedding dresses and pretty pastels to gleek chic. We've also enjoyed the posts put together by our fabulously fashionable regulars Cindy, Courtney, Krystle, Mel, Mae, Emily, Ana, Erika and Gem and, have discovered that they have become our friends.

And, importantly, we've discovered that following fashion trends isn't the same as finding your style or keeping it simple.

So, as Fashion Forward comes to an end, I wanted to leave you not with a 'fashionable' outfit, but with an outfit that is just 'me' - a classic black wrap dress, a colourful trench coat, a statement necklace, a beautiful bag and lustworthy shoes. This is me as I am. (Or at least as I would choose to be if I could afford those Louboutin shoes!)

This Is Me. As I Am.

This Is Me. As I Am. by OPCreative featuring (very expensive) Christian Louboutin Shoes.
Items in this set: Splendid Jersey Wrap Dress, £94; Pale Blue Military Mac, £49; Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 Patent Pumps, £380; Fiorelli Levine Large Shopper Handbag £49 and Round Facet Stone Necklace, £18

If you're playing along this week, please leave a link so I can stop by and ooh and ahh one last time and so that I can draw one name at random for a little fashionable giveaway.

  4. I'm sad it's over... it surely has been fun!
    You ended it the perfect way: love that simply beautiful black dress! And I like the way you add a bit of colour to the outfit with that flashy necklace... that's also my style: simplicity with a bit of personal touch ;)

    See you soon!
