Everyone happy?
So. We've got our strappy cami tops to wear. But an even easier option that that, I would say is the "fling on" summer dress.
Those one piece wonders that you turn to as soon as the sun shines. Sleeveless, on the loose side, super comfortable to wear and versatile. Versatility is the name of the game here. They must go in the washing machine, be easy to wear and roll up into a suitcase.
I would go so far as to say, you could take a couple of swimming cossies and 7 of these and you're done for your hols. That's virtually hand luggage. Or take a proper suitcase and think how many pairs of shoes you could take.
That's the other beauty of these. Flip flops for the pool or beach, sandals for during the day and some heels for night. In fact, you don't actually need any other summer clothes. Bar a jacket perhaps. And I shall be coming to those shortly...
But in the meantime, I am thinking of my best Summer clothes find of the season. So good I got one in each colour which is something I don't usually do (she says whilst secretly acknowledging that this is a big fat lie but moves swiftly on).
Gathered Scoop Back Dress was £75 now £60
And in the Blue Iris again now £60
Whilst we're on a strapless/no bra roll (I know it's not for everyone and I apologise but carry on scrolling down)... more jersey at hush with the dress versions of the Grecian top that we had yesterday.
The Grecian Dress in Midnight and white was £40 now £25 Can also be belted (comes with a belt)..
Twist Back slub jersey dress from Alice & Olivia was £140 now £70
Striped at The Outnet again. And we're back in bra territory.
Holly striped cotton jersey dress from Kain was £135 now £74.25
More stripes, bra friendly but loose enough to throw on with flatties for scorching days or down to the beach.
All Saints was £98 now £49 and an extra 20% off all sale prices with the code EXTRA20
A Breton Midi dress in jersey in the sale now at Me+Em was £78 now £55
Midi Dress in jersey for a complete steal in the Me+Em sale was £78 now £24
Plain but perfect again at All Saints. With the 20% off, these are a great great buy. Add sandals for night out. Flat sandals for day. The ideal suitcase holiday option. Or wear to work. Genius.
All Saints Vela Dress in Cliff Grey Marl was £108 now £75 pre extra discount
And in the black again £75 pre discount.
Other options at hush which would work perfectly are the Panel Maxi Dresses. Now unlike hush generally, you need to size up in these. They're tight on the bust in your usual size and I don't even have a bust. But these you can definitely fit a bra under.
Panel Dress in Blue Iris and Black was £55 now £30
Loose and cotton in an unusual teal colour from Mango.
Blond Long Dress from Mango was £39.99 now £19.99:
Scattered Floral Sleeveless Midi Dress from Warehouse £45
And also available in the white - love this £45
Another waisted but still loose printed dress from Warehouse.
Butterfly Print Midi Dress from Warehouse £55
White again and a lovely linen fabric at Me+Em (the end of their sales are simply superb. Bargains galore). Can be worn with or without the tie.
Tunic Dress Linen White was £78 now £23
And in the navy, without the tie (although you do get one with it).
Tunic Dress Linen in Navy was £79 now £38
Definitely one for super super hot (and bra less) days.
Embroidered Long Dress from Mango was £79.99 now £23.99
Tropical print dress - & Other Stories
I have the black and nude chevron dress from Hush and wore it in Mexico! Love it, looking forward to wearing it more but the beauty of dresses like these is they last for years and don't go out of fashion so they get to go on lots of holidays and day trips .... So worth their money! Highly recommend... Also loving the striped ones. I'm also loving my day dresses from Boden this season, they are sleeveless but not strappy so offer a bit more coverage, and the chance to wear a bra for the bustier ladies out there!
ReplyDeleteNail on the head - these are the sorts of dresses that you have in your "summer holiday" wardrobe for years and years and years. They're perfect for super warm weather year after year. They just do what they say on the tin. They're not *fashionable* as such - just super functional and versatile. x
DeleteThere are some absolute crackers in the dress selection - I love a good dress; no matching, no waistline issues and no top/bottom issues!! But the star of the show is definitely the shortened Rixo London dress - you look fab!
ReplyDeleteI forget how easy they are until I put them and think - I should just have a whole wardrobe of these!
DeleteDefinitely the right decision to get your Rixo dress shortened, looks great with those sandals too.
