Dresses for the New Season – Snake, Sequins, Jewel Tones

29 July 2011

This time of the year is when you should turn on your shopping radar – in order to prepare for all the end of year parties and celebrations.

I know it sounds crazy, but how many times have I been caught-out with nothing to wear to yet another end of year party? MANY!

Anyway the team at ASOS asked if I would like to feature “my picks of dresses for the new season”. Well I love a good fashion challenge, so I made up a few outfit styles with current ASOS dresses that are currently on my wish list.

1. Snakeskin

This ASOS snake print dress is just gorgeous. I chose a few aqua / teal accessories to give the outfit a very current and bold edge.

All the items are from ASOS.

2. Sequins

This new season is about going “over the top” and a full-sequin dress certainly fits into this category.

This ASOS Sequin Shift dress that I picked out is not that over the top, as it is much more understated and sophisticated. But it’s very pretty!

3. Jewel Tones

I love deep, jewel colours – ruby reds, deep amethyst, sapphire blues and emerald greens.

I think my styling tip for this season is… to try a bit of colour contrasting. It doesn’t have to be eye-wateringly clashing, just a little dab of colour will do.
