It’s blue and it’s floral and it’s a dress and it’s only £8 – what is not to love about this gorgeous, girly garment. It’s a big thumbs up to the bright blue and floral trends (Matthew Williamson and Erdem) so you can tick those boxes off your list but it’s also a dress and I love dresses in the warmer months. When the sun comes out you don’t want to be wasting your precious time indoors thinking about what to wear and this is why a one piece is a godsend.
They are so easy to wear: you get up in the morning, you put it on, add a few accessories and you’re good to go. If you are conscious about your legs (mine were once nicknamed ‘plastic’ because they never catch the sun, not because they melted) you can wear footless tights underneath for a little bit of cover up that won’t interfere with the style of this outfit. I’ve matched it with a gold belt and bangles as metallics are another popular look for Spring and work really well with blue.
Bags are a great way of adding a different look to an outfit – this one is really big (great if you’ve got children – to carry all their stuff) and the added bonus is that big bags can help to make you look smaller.
If you want to add a splash of colour – go for a bright yellow bag. To avoid the outfit becoming too girly girly, I’ve added these brown ankle boots which will give the dress a bit of an edge. If heels aren’t your thing, flat sparkly sandals or gladiators would look just as good.
