So it’s Day 2 of the Allium B Dress Challenge and time for some navy. This Alannah dress is even nicer in the flesh than it looks online. The material is heavier than the Edie (from Monday) with a matt finish on the outside but a silky finish inside, so you don’t need a slip with it.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may remember I wore this dress a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch with the family (sorry for the filter on this photo – I don’t have the original on my phone anymore!).
Dress – ℅ Allium B – ONLY A FEW SIZES AVAILABLE!
Boots – M&S (past season)
Green Scarf – Zara AW14 (no longer online)
Denim Jacket – M&S (past season)
Navy Handbag – Dune (past season)
Rose Gold Geo Necklace – SGS Shop
Zoom on to last week and here it is on the school run. I’m wearing it with another amazing find – this grey puffa coat. £40 from Dunnes Stores (available online with delivery in UK & Ireland). It’s not down-filled sadly but it’s exactly the colour I was looking for. The scarf brings it all together nicely.
Dress – as before
Coat – Dunnes Stores (current stock)
Scarf – Esprit (past season - similar here)
Navy Ankle Boots – Ash Jalouse
Navy Thermal Tights – Primark
Another successful dress on the school run. When it’s worn with thermal tights and a long cardigan, it is such a cosy outfit too. Only gripe about the Alannah is that it does crease easily if you sit at a desk all day. I can live with that however as it’s such a versatile dress and really well priced.
Back on Friday with the last day of my Allium B Dress Challenge…

Now THAT is the perfect dress. This could be worn as you have styled it for the day and TOTALLY dress it up for the evening. Love it

I love this on you! You carry off a dress so beautifully Avril – you should definitely wear them more! I love the grey coat too – I always forget about Dunnes. Must pop in for a nosey!

Another great dress on you, Avril. I liked it with the denim dress on Instagram but I LOVE it with the coat and scarf. Such a great colour and length on you. Perfect! Looking forward to number three! Lynne xx
