DRESS UP, DRESS DOWN 

Who else is looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend?!! As well as eating my body weight in chocolate and drinking a few too many vinos, I'm also off to a 50th birthday party on Saturday night. Which means I was in need of a new outfit, although when I say I need I really mean 'want'. I was after something I could wear with heels and glam up a bit but that would also work for daytime casual with trainers. This is where the blue dress comes in, and not surprisingly I found mine in Zara. 

Sky Blue Dress  Zara  £25.99

The key here to making your dress work from day in to night is a casual fabric with added details to take it up a notch. This one from Zara caught my eye because of the added belt with silver disc detailing on it. The circular trend has been hot for a while now on bags and clothes alike and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. I also really love the ties on the sleeves which mean you can puff the sleeves up as big and as bold as you want. Not bad at all for less than £30.00. 

My Look

For night time glam I will be adding black accessories and mixing and matching gold and silver accents. It could also work with nude heels and a brightly coloured bag though to mix things up a bit. 

For day time just add trusty converses and a bucket bag for ultimate casual chic. If this one isn't your style though, I've found a couple of alternatives that will work just as well...
