Dresses, dresses everywhere, but which one to choose?

As a consistent jeans wearer I often struggle to find dresses that I love,especially for summer. The style that I keep returning to is a shirt dress, with my wardrobe favourites being a silk, black one from Day Birger and an ivory one from Massimo Dutti. The Tanvi Kedia silk dress I'm wearing above is another shirt dress but is more of a loose, tunic shape and so I add definition by wearing my Gap chambray bomber jacket with it. 

When I saw it in Anthropologie it was the print I was drawn to, the gorgeous colour palette and considered  placement of the print with the neutral stripe descending into an ethnic inspired floral deep border. It's the perfect dress to take on holiday, roll it up and you hardly notice it's in your suitcase and so easy to wear post beach, when it's still hot, and you want something airy and floaty.

Here I've teamed it with simple, gold sandals and my Coccinelle round tan bag, now more on trend than ever, even though I bought it in June 2015! See this Vogue article for this seasons best round circle bags. 

Anthropologie has a great selection of dresses, and their website even has a dedicated 'Dress shop' tab, which you should definitely visit for a more eclectic range of designers and brands. Here I've chosen three of my favourite dresses from their current offer, an on trend dress, one which is great for work and another for those summer occasions you may have been invited too.

Fashion Fix: A red based floral print dress is definitely this summer's on trend dress and this London Rose Regents Floral midi dress style is both flippy and flirty, although modest tea dress from the front it has a sexy, open back detail. A great length too as it just skims the knees. Equally appropriate on the school run or for an al fresco family BBQ.

Rixo London Anna Polka-Dot silk Maxi dress £305
Classic Work wear dress: Black and white is a classic combination that stands the test of time; add polka dots and spots, a slim silhouette, and long sleeves and you have a 'go to' work dress. Whilst this Rixo London Anna Polka-Dot silk Maxi dress is an investment buy the back neck tie makes this less formal and more fashion, giving you an edge over the more conservative, stuffy work wear looks!

Byron Lars Carissima Sheath dress £228
The Occasion dress: Wedding invitations seem to send recipients into a dress buying frenzy with varying success, but more often than not a dent in their bank account! This Byron Lars Carissima Sheath dress is both romantic and flattering, and the grey champagne shade is a stylish alternative to on trend sugary, pastels. A style that the designer reinterprets every season, as it's such a best seller, you'll be able to wear it for any occasion that calls for a distinctive dress.
