You can never be overdressed or overeducated

So this wasn't what I was planning on writing about for the next blog post but after wearing a dress out last night that is essentially an "occasion" dress and thinking - THIS is what everyone needs in their wardrobe.  That dress that you could dress up to wear to a wedding, to Ascot, to any dressy occasion - essentially all those things that right now, aren't an option at all. 

BUT - they WILL come back and the joy of these dresses is that you are able to wear them on a day to day basis.  Dress them down with sandals or trainers - ankle boots as soon as the weather changes.  But WEAR them. 

The point of this blog post is two fold.  One - to encourage you to hunt those dresses out that you already have in your wardrobe like that and WEAR THEM!  And secondly, if you are looking to add something to your wardrobe, a dress that works for every occasion is always a good idea.  And I've hunted out the best on the high street for us to invest in. 

First stop is the sales.  The best place to bag a bargain and invest in a dress that would normally cost a lot more. 

This is the most similar to the style dress I had on.

AllSaints Tage Evolution Silk Blend Dress in Black was £248 now £99.20


And this is very much a variation on the theme at Jigsaw in the sale.

Chinoiserie Floral Wrap Dress was £185 now £74


But now moving on from my obsession with green to a love in with red.  Works perfectly for a bright Summer colour but I adore it in Winter.  Looks amazing with black but ring the changes by teaming with camel or khaki.

Red Frill Sleeve Button Dress from Whistles was £119 now £85



ASOS DESIGN textured dobby button through tea dress in red £42


Ghost Logan Dress in Red £169


A different shade of berry now in the sale at Me+EM.  The perfect styling example of dressing down with trainers but this sort of pared back simple dress could easily be worn to work with a more formal shoe.  Alternatively, a pair of strappy shoes or dressy courts make it ideal for a night out or a party.

Tie Front Cap Sleeve Dress from Me+Em was £180 now £54


And they're not all long! 

These are the perfect length dresses for those of you who don't like midi or maxi but don't want a super mini.  They're the ideal shape of dress for this length.  Super flattering and yet again will work for a myriad of occasions.

Sculptural hem dress from Me+Em was £195 now £62


And also available in a jewel green again in the sale from Me+Em - was £195 now £77


Speaking of green - this is a super price from Whistles.

Green Penny Belted Dress from Whistles was £149 now £44


AND they also have the knee length dress at Me+Em in black!!  (limited sizes)

Sculptural Hem Short Sleeve Dress was £199 now £59


And then it's all about the print.  These work now in Summer but will happily take you into the Autumn with a pair of chunky boots, or knee high heeled boots or my personal favourite, the cowboy boot.  Alternatively team with heels for a dressy night out.

This has all the Rixo vibes for a lot less ££.

Closet London print midi dress £95


French Connection Claribel Floral Maxi Dress was £125 now £62.50


Green again at Whistles - Blotched Animal Dress was £169 now £99

Another version of an animal dress in the sale at Jigsaw.

Animal Floral Ruched Tier Dress from Jigsaw was £120 now £36


ASOS DESIGN Button through maxi tea dress with shirred waist £35


And I WISH I could wear a dress this short - I'm too tall at 5ft 10 (I'm sure you could see my pants if I bent over) but for those of you who are more petite or super confident in wearing one - I LOVE LOVE this dress. 

Ted Baker Posy Floral Print Wrap Dress was £179 now £75


Monochrome for those who perhaps aren't into full on print... 

Large Dot Keyhole Dress + Tie from Me+Em in the sale was £270 now £108


Another print that's not a floral in a jersey fabric.  These dresses are superb for offering style and comfort.  

Jolie Moi Cross Front Jersey Dress £85


Not monochrome but a variation on the theme.  I LOVE this dress. 

& Other Stories Belted Midi Print Dress £95


I'm always being asked for other options and came across two perfect Curve dresses - both for great prices offering versatility and wearability.

Live Unlimited Clustered Spot Dress was £69 now £46


ASOS DESIGN Curve satin wrap dress tiered maxi dress £48


And here is the pic fir the inspo...


Dress - Temperley London from Matches (in the sale ss19)

Sandals - Zara (ss20)

Bag - Stella McCartney from The Designer Exchange (preloved ss20)

And I will be back with those sandals that I promised.... those man repellers. You know you want to...

  1. Hi, Kat - It's the last month of summer here and I always go through my closet at this time of year to wear everything I haven't worn yet during the spring and summer. My maxi dresses that seem to me to be something to wear when I have somewhere to go are going to be pulled out to wear around the house in a comfortable way...even if they seem a bit nicer. I enjoy getting inspiration such as you have provided in this post. Thanks! - Angie, www.yourtrueselfblog.com

  3. Hi Kat, I turned 40 in July and I just wanted to tell you that you have really turned my out look around. I've started wearing things I thought I couldn't and dressing for myself. It's really made me feel better about turning 40 and allowed me to reinvent myself and my confidence. Keep rocking it ❤️ x

  12. Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient.
