Summer florals

Welcome to the Velvet Runway, and this post about Summer Florals, featuring this OTS sleeve dress from Zara.

So, I know the shops are starting to showcase the Autumn/ Fall trends and that I should be starting to think about fall fashion, but I am having too much fun shopping the sales, so there will still be a few more summer posts to come!

Dress – Zara      Sandals – Asos (last season)

Summer floral dress

I bought this floaty summer dress in the Zara sales last week, as it combines my love of floral prints with one of my favourite trends this summer – the cold shoulder. I paired it with a beige suede jacket from Sandro (last season). The sleeves unzip to make this into a sleeveless vest.

Summer style

I then added the bright orange sandals from Asos to give a pop of colour!

    So as I have been avoiding off the shoulder clothing this year (I am worried its going to be a hassle that keeps slipping off), your dress puts my worries at ease, and most importantly, THANK YOU FOR REMINDING THAT ZARA’S END OF THE SEASON SALE HAS BEGUN!!

      Thank you for reading! I know what you mean about the hassle factor, but I think it’s important to get the right size. I have an off the shoulder top that keeps slipping off because it’s too big!

  3. You look gorgeous in that feminine dress! x

    Have a nice week,

    This outfit is so fun and flirty! I love how you styled the dress. I will definitely still be sharing some summer outfits because it’s so warm still here! I think I will be wearing summer clothes until September at the very least. It’s hard to think people are already thinking of back to school.. I feel like summer just barely began!
