High Street Pick of the Week - The 2011 Style File

The wild card - every wardrobe needs a wild card. A dress that does all the work for you and you don't have to do anything except add make up, shoes and bag or maybe a cardigan or jacket or coat. I think an item that is a wild card doesn't necessarily fit with current trends or is ever a glamorous number. A fashion wild card works regardless of trends.

It might not be your style and it isn't remotely 1930s or 1970s but this is a good Chanel- esque or even Audrey Hepburn number that will help you out for many an occasion. It will last for years and not really date. If I were you I'd pretend it was vintage...make like Catherine Deneuve in Belle de jour style wise anyway!

The cut of the dress does all the work for you regardless of your body shape.

    Simple, classic and elegant. And I agree - I'd channel Catherine Deneuve in Belle de jour for this - attitude is everything!!

    I really like it but I don't think it would like me and my tummy, I prefer not to draw attention to it!

    I love these stylist posts of yours :) I agree with 'wildcard' dress, the only thing is that I would either want to wear it all the time and completely destroy it or never feel like it's a special enough occasion to wear it.. I'm silly I know! But this one from Hobbs is surprisingly good price! :)
