I had a voucher for Hobbs so visited the revamped Long Acre flagship to try on their work dresses and picked up the Black Madox Dress, which is a little bit sixties with its graphic monochrome checks, a little bit schoolgirl with its contrast peter pan collar and modest knee-length and a perfect autumn find with its warm cotton and wool blend.
The busy print needs no accessorising so I like to keep things simple in my favourite palette of black and white; even my usually obligatory jewellery is kept to a minimum.
