I mentioned yesterday I bought this top in all the colour ways they do because I couldn't decide which one I liked the best. To be fair I think I'm going to keep them all as I absolutely love the fit of the top. Its like a mix between a dress and a tunic, longer than most tunics but it might be a bit too short to wear without tights. The open shoulder one sleeved look gives the item a bit of edge. Gah I just love it! Im also wearing some charcoal coloured American Apparel leggings that I bought when I got my disco pants. I always wear my shiny nylon tricot leggings in black and after seeing some other bloggers in the Charcoal disco pants I though I'd buy the leggings. I've never worn non black legging but I actually quite like the way they look with a black top. Im not sure what else to wear them with though! Any suggestions are welcome!

  1. I really love the charcoal coloured AA pants, they make a nice change from always seeing the black ones on everyone:)

  5. Great to see an open shouldered top that's slightly different to the usual :) Going to have a look next time I'm in Topshop! The charcoal leggings look gorgeous too. The only other colour I could imagine them with is white I think.

  17. I'm looking at buying some neon polish, do you think AA is better than the Models Own ones? Loving the grey leggings, makes a nice change from everyone wearing the black x

  20. I love the charcoal disco pants, they actually compliment your legs. The dress also looks lovely with them, the shoulder is a nice edge.

  54. I have the peach version of this from last year, but mine seems more asymetric on the hemline. I love the style, so easy to wear with leggings, or looks great tucked in with a skirt too

  60. Love this! I think you can pair it with a nice blazer and plain top, so like a cobalt blue or even pastel shade blazer. Or how about those nice sheer blirts with a tank top underneath? I think it'll look gorgeous :-) <3 PS Love your blog!
