Comfortable. Easy. Versatile. Not typically the adjectives used describe something more dressy, but those are the exact words I would use for this piece that Ministry of Retail sent over recently. The dress not only makes for seriously easy dressing but also lets the accessories shine, since it's essentially a blank canvas with just a slight bit of drama in the slit.How would you accessorize this dress?Wearing: Ministry of Retail dress (c/0), Zara scarf and shoes, vintage belt, DKNY bag …

Tee Time
I'm not much of a t-shirt girl. In fact, my friends have teased me- questioning the existence of even a single tee in my wardrobe. I'll be honest: prior to a couple of weeks ago, I had one quality white crew neck, which was more than enough for me.

It was a risk well taken, as it quickly became my favourite part of this outfit: the bright Canary hue not only provided a fun, quirky pop to a black and …
