Hey peoples. It is a new week and I have a new outfit for you. I am so proud of myself, so far this year, I have had at least 2 outfit posts each week. I have been super organised, planning outfits well in advance, and finding the time to actually photograph them, against all odds. I hope this organisation carries on for the rest of the year. It will be amazing.
There is something about the suede material. I find it so very chic, so it should come as no surprise that I have quite a few suede pieces and accessories. Suede pieces play a major role in my winter wardrobe, I find them stylish, easy to wear, and dead warm. Perfect for the chilly weather.
I love this Red Herring tan sleeveless suede dress. It is the PERFECT dress. It can take you from day to-night easily, and the relaxed fit is so my style. I got this beauty in the sales, it was a whooping 70% off, best bargain ever.
My only issue with this piece is I am not too sure how to get it cleaned. the label say no washing, no tumble drying, dry clean only, but on the website it says machine washable. I know the label instructions should override any other instructions, but I am kind of hoping I can wash it in the washing machine. Not tried to yet as I am scared I will ruin it, but I tend to avoid dry clean only pieces as much as I can because of the whole stress of going to the dry cleaners, every time I need to get a piece cleaned.
Do you own any suede clothing? How do you get it cleaned? Please share some tips.

Thanks Hayley x
I love the suede dress. It is beautiful on you. I am sure it is dry clean only. Love your hair too. It is lovely
Thanks Osime. I guess it is.
I do not own anything swede but want to own that dress so pretty. I loved how you rocked this outfit so effortlessly but so chic
Thanks Anosa x
Love that dress on you girl! If the label says dry clean only, it means dry clean only then. Sorry about that, I know the stress and cost is not funny.
Yea I know. So frustrating. Thanks Nelo…
Such a gorgeous dress! I don’t think I could be trusted with suede though, I think I’d ruin it. If I’m not mistaken, you can get specific suede shampoo for uggs and whatnot, so I’d guess you could use that to spot wash any stains?

Thank you x

Thank you x
Love the dress! Think I’ve tried on a similar one in Zara but didn’t end up buying it because I thought that washing would be a hassle. Looks great on you!
Thanks Laura. I saw machine washable online, only for it to come with a label that says dry clean only….So annoying.
This looks great on you. I just adore that coat too.
Thanks Dannii x

Thanks girl.
Once again you look incredible! I wish I had even a fraction of your sense of style. I don’t own any suede pieces purely because of the washing issue. It’s a shame though asI love that dress!

Thank you x
Looking fab. I really love your boots. I need some knee highs
Thanks girl.
That is a cute dress,v 60s fab and there are so many ways to wear it. I dont own any suede pieces, but due to the fabric, I’d say this is a number for Dry Clean only…..xo
Yea so I heard. Thanks girl x
Gorgeous! I’m loving this look! Is the suede dress comfortable? It wouldn’t have the same movement and flexibility of cotton. It totally looks awesome though!
Yea it is very comfortable. Does not feel like cotton but it is great for this time of the year.
Right missy I need to see an outfit you don’t look good in, I love how this looks on you x
Awww thanks Rachel x
Love this outfit!!! It’s brilliant and something that I would try to wear myself.
Thank you x
Love the suede dress – reminds me of a similar one I had as a pre-teen in the 90’s. I bet it will see you through spring/summer too x
Yea I hope so. Thanks Samantha x
Such a gorgeous dress! I love how you’ve styled it, the texture of suede is so stylish and it goes so well with those boots 🙂 x
Thanks Zoe x
I love this dress, I don’t actually own any suede pieces at all
