And so kicks off the season of L-O-V-E!
Following on from Valentines, this year is the first that close friends of Oli and I are getting married. I am trying to contain my excitement but it is hard, especially when - reason number one - one half of a couple is the gorgeous founder of Edenvale bakery - just think of the Wedding cake - and reason number two - there is an awesome excuse to stock up on gorgeous pretty dresses. Both of the dresses in today's post (1 & 2) I nabbed in New Look the other day for £22 each.
£22. Each.
Big occasions need not cost a fortune in outfits. Save yourself any last minute panics and get an early start now. There are a tonne of pretty wedding and party appropriate options available in the early Summer store drops. Below I've highlighted some of my favourites - all hitting on or below £50. Scroll through 'em all peeps! There are accessory options too.
Read on after the jump for more pics and my styling notes on Summer party season accessories…
A Note On Accessories: If you plan on buying a few dresses to rotate during the party season, investing in neutral accessories will save you hassle and £££. Since fangirling Ashley Madekwe's single sole heel collection I jumped on this pair of Topshop sale beauts when I found them in store the other day. They're not available online anymore but ASOS and Topshop have some rocking options which are super similar and affordable. This is one of my top tips for Summer dresses: invest in a slip. I wore one with both of the dresses in today's post and they make all the difference. Your dress will hang better (and thus look more expensive) and a slip will save you from pale colours which can be see through in the light.
So you lovely lot, are you excited for Summer dress season? Are any of your close friends getting married, or maybe you are on the hunt for your perfect graduation dress? Spill all.
