Cheap frills: the £34.99 dress you need for summer

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Sunglasses: £20, ToyShades. Dress: £34.99, Mango. Bag: M Hulot. Shoes: £62, (sold out but the black ones are available) from Topshop

Dresses with shoulders? So old season…I don’t really do those anymore. It seems every dress I’ve bought lately is missing this crucial detail. And it feels great. Modern, easy with some amazing High Street versions out there – this is the style of the summer.
I couldn’t believe the value of this dress – I bought both this and one from Reformation at the same time and actually, this is better quality, in my opinion. Oh, and it has POCKETS. That just about sells it for me.

    Looks amazing. Could you wear it on the shoulder too?

      Do you know what, i haven't tried…I did see ones from Cecilie copenhagen (a bit pricier, though) where you can – I think this one is possibly too tight…

    Love this dress, but would prefer it in black please Mango! I agree there is something special about off the shoulder tops and dresses. I've indulged in several already this season !

    I've also developed an addiction to off the shoulder dresses and tops! I wonder if I could dress this up for a friends wedding in August?

      Oh yes, they are so not good for bras – I must admit – and I don't like many strapless ones!

    A bit late for replying to this post…but would you mind letting me know about the fit of the shoes you are wearing? I have bought them but I did have to size up – however I read a Topshop review which said they do stretch…I am wondering if I should change them (they remain unworn while I dither!) And whether I should change them for black….???! Btw your blog makes for brilliant reading – I really enjoy it and find it very useful.

      They are a bit of a squeeze, but after the New Look ones I've managed to get used to it – I bought snakeprint as I've already got black so if you're looking for a go with anything pair the black would possibly be a better buy. Thanks for your lovely comments xx
