What I Wore: In Bloom

14th January, 2020

A silhouette I’m really loving this summer is a classic wrap dress with blouson sleeves. I’ve always found wrap dresses to be really flattering as they help accentuate the waist and and the v-neck is a neckline that works for virtually everyone. It’s a feminine style, that depending on the print and colour can be casual, dressy or somewhere in between. I particularly love the voluminous sleeves on this dress. Playful and fun, they help soften the overall feel of the dress.

This Kate Spade dress is a great go-to option this season as the colour palette is just made for long days spent enjoying the sunshine. Orange and pink is an unlikely colour combination that just works—the bright shades play nicely against each other while still holding their own.

I was going for a more polished vibe on this day so it was all about sleek accessories that helped elevate the dress. I opted for an orange structured bag as it worked with the similar tones in the dress and provided a strong contrast to the softer elements of the frock. A white heel is such a great shoe option to have in your closet because it’s so easy to work back with virtually everything. Case in point: the Tony Bianco shoes I’m wearing here which I’ve worn several times since I got them. Paired with cat eye frames, this is the ideal look for the a dressy lunch or an upcoming event.

Kate Waterhouse floral dresses spring

Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. This famous quote from The Devil Wears Prada relegates wearing blooms at this time of year to being a little predictable but however expected it might be I think you can’t beat a beautiful floral dress. It’s the perfect piece to welcome the start of longer days and warmer weather due to its light and airy feel. And at the start of the season there are already so many styles to choose from. Whether you opt for midi, mini or maxi, cut-outs or statement sleeves, I think this ultra feminine go-to will be a versatile piece that will take you through a season of long lunches, BBQs or days spent enjoying the sun. How can you resist?
