LITTLECOLOURFULDRESS AT WORK

As we've mentioned in our previous posts in this series, Dove want more women to feel colour confident and have teamed with some experts Alex Longmore and Natalie Thomas to help encourage the nation! The Dove Invisible Dry anti-perspirant has been tested on a whopping 100 colours, so you don't need to worry about those pesky deodorant marks. I certainly didn't notice any shifty white streaks on this gorgeous blue colour. That would be tres unprofessional at work!

So does wearing colour at work give me a boost? Yeah I think so, I think that you put out an air of confidence for sure. More people give you a second glance just because of what you're wearing, so in turn you'd have to be self-confident to deal with the extra attention! I do think it happens to men in the office too though. We have a colleague who loves to rock a certain pink and lavender shirt/tie combo and tbh, we adore him for it and he laps up the attention, which in turn seems to give him a little confidence boost ;) I think wearing more colour definitely has a positive effect on corporate life! Imagine working at Google, no wonder those people are all super happy.

THE LITTLE COLOURFUL DRESS

I absolutely love wearing colourful dresses! When it comes to style, I'm all about statement pieces and when I wear a bold frock, I feel more confident.


Dove recently launched a new Invisible Dry Anti-Perspirant range proven to leave no white marks on 100 different colours, and to celebrate this launch we've been asked to take part in their LCD (Little Colourful Dress) campaign! As mentioned inJade's post yesterday, a recent Dove Colour Confidence Poll revealed a massive 63% of British women would opt for an LBD over a LCD. In order to encourage more women to embrace colour and ditch the black, Dove have teamed up with fashion stylist Alex Longmore who has some great tips on wearing colour!


Alex believes wearing black clothing can make our complexion look dull and wants us to be brave when it comes to wearing colour and just go for it! Opting for brights can make you feel more confident and colourful dresses work well for both special occasions and general everyday wear



I don't really need much encouragement when it comes to wearing bright shades but I spotted this lemon lace shift dress from Oasis and knew I needed it in my summer wardrobe! It's currently on sale and is an absolute bargain - it's the type of dress I'd wear to either a wedding, or on date night.

MYLIFEINPRINT

My favourite piece from the collection is this Spital fields shift dress! The Spitalfields print was designed around 1730 by acclaimed silk designer, Anna Maria Garthwaite. She lived in Spitalfields and became one of the leading pattern drawers in the English silk industry!
