Some spends are smarter than others! We choose a stand out piece from our new collection that you can wear now and restyle to wear later.
WEAR NOW WEAR LATER….THE TENCEL DRESS
This cute denim-look shirt dress is a fuss free solution to getting ready in the morning!
NOW: this double duty fashion item is part shirt and part dress meaning it works solo or layered over leggings or belted under a sweater as we’ve done here. Team with ankle boots for a cool Weekend look.
LATER: Restyle for the warmer months by wearing solo with sandals and a cute straw trilby. The shorter shirt dress works better if you are petite as a longer style might swamp your figure.
…THE COTTON KNIT
NOW: A cute cotton sweater is a wardrobe essential and is not just for chilly Summer days. Increase its wardrobe mileage by layering over a crisp white shirt and smart jeans for a shopping trip or a pub lunch. Add a touch of animal print in your shoes or bag to elevate the look. The loose fit of this sweater means it’s not too clingy so works if you are size 12 or 20.
LATER: Pastel colours look great with a tan so restyle for summer with white denim crops and espadrilles. Just roll up your sleeves and pull the sweater off your shoulder for pretty as a picture summer style.
…THE SHIRT DRESS
The shirt dress has become one of our wardrobe staples. It’s easy to wear shape suits all figure types and it can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion.
NOW: Wear the shirt dress open as a lightweight top layer over a long sleeve tee and jeans for a stylish Weekend look. This is especially good if you don’t like cinching in your middle as you can loosely tie the belt round the back.
LATER: Wear the shirt dress solo with a pair of white pumps for simple easy hot weather style. If you get chilly throw on a longer line cardi and play around with different belts to change your look. Remember that vertical stripes give the illusion of height as well as slimming you down!
Invest in pieces like these to make your wardrobe stretch all season; remember to re-use, re-wear and re-style to get the most out of your clothes. You can shop all of these styles here and don’t be afraid to let your creative flare take over to suit your style!
