Feeling Shifty

I’m loving all the cool shift dresses that are popping up everywhere for Spring… It’s such a cool laid-back look and a refreshing change from all the super-tight looks of the last few seasons. The great thing with shifts is they can really be dressed up or down as with flats or gladiator sandals they are cute for laid-back sunny days, but paired with wedges or chunky platforms (stilettos are too try-hard for this look) you are ready for a night out. I’m always drawn to a similar palette of soft, cool colours (Maura can walk into any store and point to the rack of clothes I’ll like!) so these shifts from Asos are on my wish-list. Entering more into the smock than shift territory, this Topshop apricot long-sleeved dress would work great for the seventies-inspired look that’s so big for summer. Paired with tan accessories and wavy beachy hair, it’s just such a shame that basically anything with sleeves is a no-go for Hong Kong from June through October! I’m tempted anyway… It might be because it’s in one of our new Sassy Mama colours!
