If there is one trend I have really bought into this summer it is the wrap dress. It is a style I loved when I was first starting out in my office career in my mid twenties and it is a style I am so glad is back. I picked up this dress on sale and you can too! It comes in blue and this orange that I have and it is so flattering. There are limited sizes. But hey that is sale season. The dress is pretty true to size as I picked up a UK 16 which is the equivalent of a US 12. I could have gone with a 10 or UK 14 but then I wouldn’t have had as nice of coverage and would have definitely needed a camisole.
Boden has a bit of a bad wrap as a mumsy brand but hey I fit their demographic and their clothes are good quality. What I also like about shopping Boden is that they ship super fast (I mean stuff arrives faster than when I buy locally or from the US). Shipping is free over the threshold and the taxes are all baked into the prices. Why can’t all stores do that?
Outfit details – Polka Dot wrap dress (ON SALE!), biker jacket (reviewed here), wedge heels (old but also love these), basket bag (perfect for the beach but I have also been taking it to the office to lug all my extras).
What do you think of the whole wrap dress trend? Or the polka dot trend for that matter? I am trying to pick up what I can while I can because I think these pieces are ones I will wear even past them being trendy. This orange colour is a great summer substitute for red. I also love how well it goes with all the neutrals.
