The Colour Block Maxi Dress

Friday, August 19, 2011


When you're going on holiday you always think you've not got enough holiday clothes. I find myself thinking what on earth do I wear? Well for the past year the maxi dress has been the ultimate holiday saviour (yay!) it's the dream item of clothing (well for on holiday anyway) you can be wearing no make-up and have your curly beach hair and still look amazing! the maxi dress just completely transforms your outfit! I've started to have a collection of maxi's now. The ones I bought last year still look as great this year too so I'd invest in a couple of these bad boys maybe 2 or 3? or you could just go all out and get like 6 like me...

My most recent maxi dress purchase was a last minute one from Desire Clothing for about £14 I think it was with the 10% discount code available to all fashion-train readers when you type in 'fashiontrain' at the checkout. I don't think you can get more of a bargain for such a gorgeous dress!

Yes this dress really was £14! It's very on trend right now, who can resist a colour block maxi dress? It's elasticated at the top so it's a great fit around the bust area and it'd be very flattering on curvy body shapes too. For a night out wear with a denim jacket and wedges (depending on your height) and for a daytime look just team it with some sandals if it's sunny!

I don't think i'd genuinely wear something like this but I wore this all the time, especially to the beach with some sandals whilst I was away!

I teamed my outfit with some white sandals. I don't think i'd have ever worn white sandals either, but they look amazing. So elegant and smart and they look ten times better than a tan brown pair (yay!)

These sandals cost me just less than £10! They were in the sale how could I not buy them?!

Can you really go wrong with an glamorous outfit like this, perfect for your holidays for under £25? Yes that means more spending money! (wahoooooo)
