I do love a bright red dress, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this Alice & You By Glamorous Ruffle Dress from Simply Be the second I saw it on the website. On those rare sunny days we've had here in London, it's been a constant style saviour with it's lightweight, flippy material the perfect choice to battle the harsh, heavy heat. (Guess who's looking forward to autumn!)
I manged to buy this dress with one of Simply Be's fairly frequent discount codes, but I'd say hand on heart that it's worth it's £50 price tag. I'm pretty stingy when it comes to parting with money on frivolous things for myself, but this is a dress which works for pretty much any occasion. It's one of the comfiest things I've ever put on, and flits from casual to dressy with a simply change of shoes. Also did I mention how flippy it is? This is a dress you need to be wearing your good pants with!
Whilst we're seeing the last dying embers of summer flitting away, there is no way I'm ready to say goodbye to this dress until next year. The colour is so strong and vibrant that it moves into autumn trends with ease, and I'll be wearing it with thick black tights and biker boots to give it a harder edge. The gentle pleated ruffles of the skirt fall into a swishy skater shape, with a cute cold shoulder capelet on top keeping things cute. Whether it's a wedding, cinema date or Christmas party, this is a genuine do it all dress.
Until next time,
