Marilyn...

Marilyn... by megannorris featuring leather high heels

This week I have been burying my head in loads of books about Marilyn Monroe. This is for my fashion muse essay at uni. She is such a fascinating person to read about, she really was a beautiful woman.

The amount of photographs in these books is insane, they show Marilyn in so many different lights from cheeky and fun to serious and even worried. 

The inspiration for this outfit is taken from the most iconic photograph of Marilyn, from the film: 'The seven year itch'.

The outfit is very simple, as you don't need much to recreate such an iconic scene. The dress is from Topshop; the shimmer skater dress which is £48. The shoes are from ASOS.com called Peter Jensen Simple White Heeled Sandals and they are a lot more expensive, however this is quite a bit trend coming in for summer so they hopefully will be in New Look amongst other high street shops very soon.

Day vs. Night

I saw this dress on topshop.com and I need it in my life, seeing as I can dress it up or easily dress it down, why wouldn't you want it?

The day look is made up of simple accessories, I went for brown as it is easy to add colours too if you want to. I decided on bangles as this dress needs some sort of jewelry, you could wear a necklace with this dress as well. You could easily put this with cute flat brogues or day slippers for an even more casual look.

For the night outfit, I added a blue belt and blue shoes, this was teamed with a beautiful gold clutch, you could also have a gold long pendant with this dress as it has a long body.

Both outfits are easy to wear, and I love how you can wear this outfit for a whole day and just add a different belt to change the look completely!
