Wearing: Primark maxi dress, Steve Madden leather jacket, vintage shawl worn as scarf, Primark patent pumps, assorted rings
On: Sunday 21st November
For: A lunch and shopping date with my lovely friend Clare
Being ruthless with my wardrobe over the weekend produced three piles – Charity Shop, eBay, and Rework. My Rework pile was full of pieces I’ve left to fester for a few months – unworn but not yet unloved. I’ve challenged myself to ‘rework’ them (duh) with some favourite pieces to create new looks from old things. I teamed this jersey maxi dress (which I last wore here in a similarly Italian-titled post) with my leather jacket (which I’m wearing constantly at the minute). It’s quite a heavy jersey and so, so comfortable – perfect for a day trooping round the shops.
I did make good use of my Gap 30% off voucher as we shopped – I bought the most deliciously cosy wool snood, which I put on immediately and didn’t take off all day. Look out for it in every outfit post from now until March!
Love this look! I really want a maxi dress but feel that they would be far too long on me?! hmm. I’m going to have to try one on one of these days.
Lovely outfit 🙂 x
Great look, love maxi dresses

Oh, Jen love that dress on you x
Organising your wardrobe like that is definitely a good idea. Definitely something I need to go when I get back home.
Love the scarf you’re wearing. Definitely something to wear as it gets colder and darker. And the dress looks really cool.
Great outfit that jacket is pretty spectacular and looks awesome teamed with the maxi dress xoxo
I hate shopping in uncomfortable clothes, so that dress sounds perfect- cosy yet chic. Wish I could be as ruthless as you with the wardrobe cull rather than hoarding things I know I wont wear again!xx
I love this outfit! It’s a great one for shopping – comfortable yet fabulous. I love the all black ensemble with the bright scarf.
Such a good idea – looks perfect xx
Know the feeling I have bin bags all over the place right now! Such a pretty scarf I love gold and purple!
Wow, what a gorgeous scarf!
xoxo
I love maxi dresses but I have no idea what shoes to wear with them during A/W!! I love having a good clearout of your wardrobe though, its amazing what you can find that you had forgotten about 🙂
Love the pattern and colour of the scarf, works so well against the black.
xx
Gorgeous scarf, it’s nice to have some colourful scarves on hand to pep up winter outfits 🙂
I’m in the middle of a ruthless clear out too Jen, but it’s damn hard! I get SO sentimental over things, especially things i bought and wore when i was pregnant.
I love the maxi and leather combo xx
Scarves are genius at lifting an outfit and that one is fab on you. I love a maxi in the winter, you can hide all manner of weird socks, leggings and long johns underneath and noone ever knows the difference.xxx
LOVE the maxi dress Jen!! you look awesome!! 🙂 xo
Love the outfit! Especially the scarf 🙂

That’s a stunning scarf Jen. Might try a big, colourful scarf with my leather jacket to lift it. xx

Lovely look, Jen. I’m still wondering if wearing a long black maxi dress (mine is from h&m) would look totally out of place at the office. xo
I love the scarf, such rich colours and a perfect extra layer. Stunning dress on you xx
You look beautiful in this outfit. That’s such a fab scarf, what a great, colourful lift to a black dress.
Ah you got a snood! Yay, I love snoods. Seriously, so much easier than a scarf- no trailing ends to get in the way!
This outfit is lovely, and a great idea to have the 3 different categories- i need to do this ASAP! x
Congrats on the snood! I love snoods.
I really love this outfit. I love the pop of colour the scarf brings. The maxi dress really works for you, I wish I could make it do the same for me. X
