AW12 Trends-Finding the Perfect Occasion Dresses

Perfectly Presentable Dresses

Good Afternoon PPRs! What a gorgeous day it is here in the Herefordshire countryside! It's so sunny and warm and as such I will be going out for cocktails tonight which has inspired me to write a piece on the best dresses to wear for a night out with the girls, to a wedding or even on a date.

Special occasions range anywhere from a friends birthday party to a day at the races and finding the perfect outfit for each of them can be some mean feat. If you're on a date you want to look sexy but chic, at a wedding you want to look stunning without upstaging the bride and on a night out with the girls you want to know that you won't be upstaged by everyone else! There's a lot to think about and so I have come up with a list of my favourite and what occasion I think they'll work best for.



1. The Amity Fuschia Curved Shift Dress from Reiss. £169. I think this dress is ideal for a night out with the girls. The colour is fabulous and fun, which will definitely fit in with the theme of a girls night out! It's dressy but there's not too much skin show and the shift style gives it that chic structured look.

2. You could take a leaf out of the absolutely stunning Kate Beckinsale's books and go for a show stopping fluorescent yellow number like this Preen Resort 2013 number. If you can't afford this version I've found an incredible alternative from Cos at just 79 Euros the sleeveless A-line dress is made from lightweight chiffon with a metallic mesh skirt overlay. I think this would be super sexy for a first date as it most definitely has the WOW factor that you're looking for, plus the A-line skirt is very flattering.


3. Matthew Williamson Embellished Cut-Out Wool Crepe Dress £925. I know this dress is really expensive but the quality and craftsmanship is second-to-none. Matthew Williamson has for a long time, been one of my favourite designers, I love the bright colours, the complex patterns and the gorgeous womanly silhouettes he produces. This dress is no exception! The turquoise colour  will brighten any mood and the lavish embellishment that Matthew Williamson's is so well known for makes for an instant hit at any wedding you have coming up. Can't afford this dress...I suggest buying a shift dress in a fabulously bright neon colour and adding a statement necklace, like this one from Topshop for £30.

4. The Bella Bodycon Dress by Whistles £135. I love the ruching on this dress and the gorgeous dark green colour. This will suit a variety of skin tones and can be worn with a number of different accessories from gunmetal grey to silver to bright. This dress is fabulously versatile and would be perfect for going to a birthday party or work night out.

5. Mango Lace Panel Maxi Dress With Belt. £114.99. I love the intricate lace side panels on this dress and the black belt to give you a wonderfully curvy silhouette. Style with black pumps and a black fascinator for a really chic outfit for the races.

That's all for today folks!

Have a fab evening!

Love, love,
