Now you can either see the title as a reference to Dusty or ABC. Either way they’re both pretty banging songs so it’s all good.
So anyway, after my lovely few days in London I was very kindly sent an item of my choice from the Look Magazine for Simply Be collection. I decided to go with the duster jacket, because we all know what a complete and utter sucker I am for a jacket. I just couldn’t resist it, despite the fact my wardrobe is now weeping softly at the strain of yet another jacket.
I really, really wanted to do a dressy look with this jacket, but as I don’t have anywhere nice to go for a while I decided to play dress up for the purposes of todays post. But; I will be bookmarking this outfit in readiness for any posh do’s I might get to go to over the summer.
So this is my “I couldn’t possibly eat anything, because I’ll spill down me outfit”. I’ve teamed the duster jacket with my beloved Project D white dress, ASOS heels and teeny tiny clutch. I am now urging all my friends to get married/organise christenings/invite me to the races so I can crack this bad boy out!
I really wanted to dress the jacket down too so I could get some use out of it, because it is far too pretty to sit in my wardrobe so I just had to bang my jeans on with too. Of course!
Which look do you prefer? Dressy or casual?

Fnnggggg… I am so in love with that jacket its so prreeetttyyyy. Youve totally pulled off both looks and they're fab! I've been sorely tempted by this jacket but I'm on the fence as I dont have much navy/white in my wardrobe to match it with so I may have to get the dress instead. xo
You need to make an occasion to wear that outfit because you look stelar! It's really hard to pick a favorite…
I cant choose between the two looks. What a versatile jacket x
LOVE the jacket, love both looks, but I'm definitely more of a casual girl! x
I like the casual look the best. I'm always worried about longer coats making me look shorter. This looks great on you so I have to ask, how tall are you?
Hey! I'm 5'7", so tall-ish. Hope this helps x
I am ordering this jacket. 3rd person I have seen this week in it and it is fab. I love both looks but prefer casual x
I may have just ordered this on the basis it looks amazing and I have a discount code so it would be rude not to…
Love them both, but I would pick the casual. I love this look so much!
I love this fabric! The mix of blues is just gorgeous and it looks great on you!
