A printed outfit is one of my favourite ways to invite both individuality and versatility into your next outfit. Like this flattering, ruched detailing dress, the bold stripe combines different accent colours allowing you various options when it comes to accessorising! This season we are seeing different shades of yellow filter through in garments and accessories following the announcement of this year’s Pantone colour of the year. From warm buttery hues to pops of neon brights, yellow evokes excitement for any outfit.
Styled with a subtle and effortless coral coloured 3D headband, allowing the accessories to pop against the black background print.
