White Shirt Dresses Are Essential and Here's Why

 

 Outfit: Dress - Zara (old) / Sandals - Charles & Keith

Three of the same picture basically, sorry (but also not sorry. iPhone pictures are what we're dealing with right now). 

We all make excuses for updating our wardrobe and making purchases we don't need. This time around it's because it's a new year. But also, a new decade! Therefore we are justified in adding new pieces to our wardrobe. One of my staples has to be a white shirt dress. I always wear my old Zara one, so much so I should've bought a spare. 

Investing in a white shirt dress is a must because it is timeless, can be styled from season to season and is truly versatile. Similar to your staple crisp white shirt, a shirt dress can serve the same purpose in your wardrobe. It's really quite perfect for any season or occasion. In the Summer heat, you can pair it with sandals for an easy look - flats for daytime, heels for night. During Winter, slip on a pair of tights, a jumper atop the dress and a pair of boots and you're good to go. It's something you can dress for work or play. 

I've put together a range from high street to high end for you to shop. The reason why I looked at designer styles is because there's far more variation there right now and I find that they'll be the best quality and worth the investment. But if you're not up for a three figure price tag, I've also found the best of the lower price points for you too.  Click the links below to shop now.

With All The (*Feather) Trimmings: The Fancy Feather Pieces For The Holiday Season

It's official - I've fallen in love with a trend that I didn't think I would even like. The feather trim trend. I love it. It gives a truly nostalgic vibe, very 60's that I think is so playful and sassy, it cannot be missed. Adding a little oomph to your favourite pieces, the feather trend is taking the fashion world by storm and a big handful of designers are dipping their toes into it. 

Another reason to love this trend? It's perfect for the holiday season that is about to be upon us! Wouldn't you want to show up to your Christmas or New Year parties with fun feathers? I really would. I think it's totally perfect for NYE this year - Heading into the new decade with something sassy is a big yes for me. 

Right now the brand that is totally owning the trend is 16Arlington, a UK based brand that I've seen pop up now on a few Instagram accounts, which is where I found them. I mean, just go onto their designer page on Net-A-Porter and you'll see. They have party pieces to suit everyone!

But they aren't the only ones. With the likes of Prada, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana and Attico too, you're bound to find a brand who does the best piece for you. 

  

  

  

  

    

Just looking at these makes me want to rock the feather trim this festive season! Don't you?

Lots of Love & Christmas Cheer,
