One Dress - Four Ways

1. Lunch with the girls:

Dress: £20 from boohoo.com

Shoes: £20.99 from missguided.co.uk

Bag: £32 from Topshop

Bracelet: £7.50 from Topshop

This look is sophisticated, yet casual. The dusky pinks tones of the shoes and bag provide an unusual contrast to the blue of the dress, while the gold tones of the shoe buckles, bag detailing and bracelet compliment each other and bring the accessories together. This bracelet is perfect, as the delicate design suits the elegance of the outfit, while the unusual style adds a quirky edge to an otherwise conservative look.

2. Dinner with your partner:

Dress: As before

Jacket: £30 from Miss Selfridge

Clutch Bag: £22 from H! By Henry Holland for Debenhams

Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

Adding black accessories to a bright dress will really accentuate the colour and make it 'pop', and a simple black blazer is both a practical and chic way to cover up against the evening chill. The bag and shoes I have chosen are simple yet sophisticated, and they compliment each other well in terms of colour as well as texture.

3. Cocktails by the pool:

Dress: As before

Shoes: £55 from Oasis

Bag: £25 from Oasis

Hair Accessory: £1.99 from H&M

Here I have created a holiday evening outfit. Next to the dreamy blue of the dress, straw accessories provide a look that is reminiscent of sea and sand, perfect for this type of look. Matching the texture of the shoes and bag, as well as the colour, creates the illusion that these accessories were designed to be worn together. I have added a simple cream hair flower to add a whimsical edge, which would look best when paired with wavy beach hair.

4. Festival Chic:

Dress: As before

Sunglasses: £5.99 from H&M

Headscarf: £3.15 from Forever 21

Sandals: £8.75 from Forever 21

Bracelet: £8.50 from Topshop

Brown sandals are the perfect accompaniment for any summer look and in this case, they add another focus colour to build an outfit around. Festival fashion is all about 'anything goes', and that is why I have chosen these quirky and colourful sunglasses. Along with the headscarf and bracelet, they all contain tones of blue and brown which really draw the look together. Colour co-ordination is vital for creating a sense of unity with an outfit like this: there is a very fine line between quirky yet care-free, and car-boot sale disaster.
