What to wear this summer?

What to wear this summer?  

     Somewhere behind that cloud and the extra helping of snow we had to greet spring with, we know summer is coming. She is hiding a little bashfully this year, perhaps giving us a little extra time to prepare our beach bodies. Maybe, like us, she over indulged a little at Christmas and is keen to make sure she sheds the extra pounds before finally putting in an appearance. But when Summer finally arrives we need to have our wardrobe ready, the scarve’s and gloves should be packed firmly away, sun glasses out and polished on the car dashboard, legs waxed and ready to tan and toenails ready to dip in the sea.    Have you got your dresses for the sunshine?    This season Maxi Dresses are sticking around. A much loved item from last summer which suits most shapes, this flattering full length dress refuses to leave the wardrobe and is holding steady for 2013. Maxi dresses can suit either day or night wear dependant on the accessories. For nightwear, team the dress with some to die for heels or impressive wedges and adorn your wrists with chunky bracelets. For a simpler day-time look, add pretty flip flops or lower heeled wedges. Go for a simple neck chain and bangles, throw on a floppy hat and hit the ice cream shop.    If you want to be hitting the spot with trends for 2013 then it’s time go shopping for pencil dresses; this summer the pavement will be full of pastel coloured pencil frocks that will add sophistication to day time and create a wow factor look in the evening. Again, for the evening, some fantastic thin court shoes will give this look a more grownup feel, and for day-time, some lightweight sandals will give the look a sense of elegant simpleness.    Get your wardrobe ready and your accessories out. Hit the shops for some fresh new outfits and we promise, the sun will get her hat on eventually.
