♡ Summer Dress Styling ♡

I have just joined Polyvore today and have really enjoyed fiddling around with it. I decided to create a post focusing on one of my favourite Summer Essentials - Maxi Dresses.

Here I have shown how to style one for the evening (Left outfit), for the beach (Middle outfit) and for a day to day outfit for perhaps a lunch date or a day out shopping. 

Starting with the evening dress we have a simple deep blue maxi, it just drops to the floor there's nothing outrageous about it so it's very simple, very elegant and can be dressed up as seen above. To do so I've matched the simple deep blue with hues of gold. We've got the gold shoes with a small heel, there's a gold belt, I've picked out this simple gold bracelet and a lovely gold necklace. I'm loving this style of necklace at the moment, and when wearing a maxi dress that's cut off as the one above you'll often find yourself needing something extra around the neck. And this necklace is just that. 

Moving on we've got out beach outfit. Here we have a bright orange dress. Again, very simple but the colour gives such a pop that you don't need to over do it with loads of patterns. With the dress I've paired it with some simple silver sandals, which if you're wearing to the beach you can easily take off to feel your feet in the sand! I've picked, continuing on with the orange and silver theme, this gorgeous leaf bracelet. I've done so because the beach is such a natural place to be, it's the natural environment, so it's nice to have a reflection of that on your clothing. And because we didn't go for a floral dress the accessories can represent that. Then we have the most important aspect of the outfit-  a big floppy sun hat! Don't underestimate the need for one of these in the warmer weather. You don't want to get your face sunburnt and along with suncream this hat will keep you protected!

Lastly we have this patterned Maxi, it's very cute and I couldn't help including it. I think it would be perfect for a day out with friends or on a date. I've paired it with some simple black strappy sandals, a black and gold bracelet and this lovely bright orange flower for the hair to jazz it up.

Hope this post was enjoyable and helpful for the upcoming heat and maxi dress season!
