I love accessories, so have a number of plain dresses in my wardrobe that can be transformed in an instance with chunky jewellery or a bright scarf. No reason not to be bold with accessories, for me it’s the bolder the better over 50!
For Day 18 of the dresses with sleeves challenge this black dress from Pied a Terre Tucked Front fits the bill perfectly with its ¾ length sleeves and fitted waist. A classic investment dress. Better still it’s currently in the sale .
Pied a Terre Dress from House of Fraser £118.30 (reduced from £169)

I’ve been loving your dresses with sleeves posts - it’s fabulous that you have found so many gorgeous styles! I particularly like this one and I love the fact you have mentioned accessories, since handbags are my favourite subject! The brighter = definitely the better in my book and such a fab way to brighten up any outfit.
