Morning ladies for this month's post in collaboration with Marks & Spencer, I thought we'd take a look at their summer sale, which despite having been running for a couple weeks still contains some real gems. If you have the time to scour favourite brands websites this is the time you can secure some real bargains & if you shop clever & strike lucky some investment pieces that you'll find yourself wearing year after year & in some cases all year through.
So without further ado let's take a peek at my top 10 picks that are still available in a whole host of sizes.
Starting with the above pretty white summer dress. Now we all know that come summer time & summer holidays you can't beat white be it a pretty top, flowing skirt or floaty dress. So this dress is perfect for packing to wear on holiday. Personally I'd swap the self tie waist with this belt, pair with these wedge heel espadrilles, this Panama hat & finish the look with this jute tote.
Likewise this stripe tiered maxi dress would make another summer wardrobe faithful. Add a pop of colour with these sandals & this cross body bag & if cooler this denim jacket with these trainers.
Another item to lookout for in the sales is a statement dress that can be dressed down for holidays but equally with a swap of accessories would be perfect for a special occasion & dare I say Christmas! This lace dress fits the bill perfectly, style with a metallic sandal, such as these & this metallic cross body for a more casual feel or pair with a heel, such as these for a more dressy event.
Lace Fit & Flare Midi Dress also available in navy
Now I'm not one to generally wear bright colours but I do have a bright red/orange dress similar in colour to the above lace dress that I wear every summer, that makes a great injection of colour & looks fab when paired with a tan. For holidays I'd style this dress with this statement clutch & these embellished flat sandals.
Of course the sales are also a great time for investing in some statement accessories & if you don't already own a red cross body bag then the above leather number really would earn it's keep within a matter of weeks & is an easy way to bring all your neutral outfits to life.
Similarly a simple navy sweatshirt is one of those wardrobe staples & the above one would be perfect worn with these relaxed mid rise slim cropped jeans & these statement stripe flats & I would personally consider perhaps sizing up a size for a more laid back feel.
Another way of bring your wardrobe to neutrals to life is adding a statement scarf & the above animal print beauty would be a great accessory that could be worn all year round. I'd style with a silk shirt like this one, this biker jacket, these slim fit ankle grazer trousers (that I have in off white & love ) & finish with these trainers.
Of course we all wear jeans all year round so if you're on the lookout for a faded black skinny pair then these look perfect. Style with this statement broderie blouse & these buckle detail block heel ankle sandals for an easy, stylish summer outfit.
A holiday essential has to be a sun hat, & if you favour a wide brimmed style then the above sale piece would be ideal.
Finally for the buy of the day, take a look at the above A-line suede skirt. Perfect for summer wear with a simple sleeveless top like this one with these statement flat sandals. Then come the cooler weather pair with this oversized cashmere knit & these leopard print ballet flats.
And talking of sales buys then on a similar thread to the above suede skirt today's outfit is all about a great sales find (that's still available but in limited sizes). I just couldn't resist this skirt which is perfect for wearing with bare legs this time of year but equally can be teamed with opaques come the arrival of winter. I'm wearing an 8 & would say this comes up true to size.
