Velveteen Dream

I have a micro-obsession with velvet, velveteen and velour. I love these dresses in the precious stone colours for winter. The fabrics aren't particularly flattering (except on the models and actresses below) but I love the luxe look of this textile, especially the mini-dresses with long sleeves which have a particularly 80's look. Its time for people to step away from neon and colour blocking and embrace shades reminiscent of blue & black sapphire, ruby, emerald, amethyst and not-so-precious pyrite.

Ruby velvet Antionio Beradi dress

So if you are game to try this look at home, the following dresses are all from ASOS (no I don't work for them, or have shares in them, I just love that I can feel a little fashionable, order from the comfort of my own desk, and its perfect for every price range)
