This dress is in 70's floral style and has a floor length straight skirt maxi with a split in the back to make movement easier.The 70's trend is really popular right now but wearing flares and mini skirts just 'ain't my thing, so I wanted to incorporate the 70's style into something more formal and wearable for Summer time. I reckon I could wear this Asos dress to a wedding, a party, a BBQ or even on the beach because adding simple accessories will change up how formal this dress is.
Printed skirts scare me a bit, but not half as much as printed tops do! Printed tops always make me look a little bit square and top heavy whereas a printed skirt with a plain top or shirt balances me out ever so slightly. I don't feel very confident showing off my legs, so midi skirts are definitely right up my street. This one has a geometric print and is Monochrome which, even in the summer is definitely my favorite style.I teamed the skirt with a plain black top, a delicate gold necklace, sunnies and an oversized wide brimmed hat. In hindsight looking at this picture, I would add a waist cinching belt to really nip my waist in.
I don't suit hats at all. They make my head look bigger and seeing as I already have a big head, I don't want it looking any bigger. I might not suit hats but I have been desperate to find a hat that I can wear without feeling like I have a head the size of the Empire State building. I found one on Asos and it doesn't look half bad if I do say so myself.I love wearing this with sunglasses because it balances out my face.
You don't really need to buy a lot to update your wardrobe for summer. Summer only lasts 12 weeks or so (or in Scotland, 3 weeks maximum!), so I recommend investing in a few key pieces and spending very little buying strappy tops, tshirts and shirts which can be replaced year on year, but your signature pieces will still be good for a few years - or sell them on Depop or Ebay and buy more signature pieces!
