The fashion blogger was so excited to share her bargain buy, she filmed herself styling the item for an upcoming event.
“I can’t believe I found this dress for one pound at my local charity shop,” she beams into the camera.
“This week one of my local charity shops was doing a one pound sale so of course I had to pop in there – and I didn’t leave empty handed.
“I actually left with the most stunning dress. Get ready for this.”
Monica delves into her wardrobe and pulls out the most gorgeous deep blue gown.
The dress features a wrap front over the chest with flowy drop sleeves. Neat pleats line the rest of the item from the waist all the way down to the hem, creating a fab slimming effect.
“I love it, it’s got this beautiful full length skirt which is pleated and then this v-shaped relaxed top,” she says.
“I’ve got a dinner on Tuesday so I thought I’d style it up as this dress would be perfect to wear.
“I’m thinking of a statement belt as well as some chunky heels, of course. So let’s pop it on and style it up.”
Monica slips on the dress and shows off what it looks like without a belt cinching in her waist.
“This is what it looks like without any styling. I just love this colour, it’s so comfortable and I don’t feel exposed. I feel elegant and interesting to look at,” she says.
Monica explains that she’ll pop on a waist belt and shoes to see if it upgrades her look.
“One of my little tips when it comes to getting that designer look is to invest in one or two designer accessories. So no matter what you wear, you can always give it that luxury touch.”
First, Monica unpacks a thick white Valentino belt with a brushed gold clasp in the shape of the designer logo.
She’s pleased with the look and pairs the ensemble with some white shoes and a pair of gold earrings.
It’s a perfect outfit, and everyone says she looks like royalty.
“Very Kate Middleton,” gushed one fan.
“Fabulous dress, you’ve got the Kate look and it’s gorgeous,” said another.
Monica says the finished style is so comfortable, but it still looks like she’s made an effort.
“These are my white shoes by The Rainbow Club,” she says, holding up a pair of ankle-strap heels. “These are super comfy. If you’re a bride-to-be, you need to get your hands on a pair of these.”
But there’s another option to consider – a thinner version of her Valentino belt.
“I’m not sure which I prefer,” she confesses, and invites her followers to decide for her.
“Love the thinner belt look,” wrote one user.
“Thin belt looks great but please take off the little belt loops on the dress, they make everything look cheap,” advised another.
