Wendy Simister of Wendy's Boutique

With the party and wedding season fast approaching, I thought this week would be the perfect opportunity to give everyone a head start on their wardrobe, while there is still plenty to choose from.

This season there have been a lot of dresses with sleeves (I can hear you all sigh with relief) but also we have done our own special Wendys cap sleeve jackets in a rainbow of colours to match every dress in store.

Bright florals and nautical prints have been strong, and there is a style to suit everyone. We also have the 50's style synched waist and full skirt dress from Moss & Spy for that hourglass figure.

Our beautiful Megan looks stunning in this Moss & Spy Rose piece.

But if you love the print, yet have more of a straight through figure, this gorgeous print also comes in a button through style.

These are a great example of versatile dress as they crossover for all occasions. You could easily wear this to a wedding, Christmas party or a Sunday barbeque and look very chic and appropriate every time.

Don't be afraid to invest in a more formal dress. Thinking you will not get the wear out of it is wrong as there are so many ways to take a glamorous dress and accessorise it down to smart casual.

For example this stunning silk piece (which looks fabulous on every shape right up to a size 18) can be dressed up with a simple heel and tights or can be dressed down with a scarf and casual shoes to create an everyday outfit.

If you are stuck for ideas or just need a little inspiration do not forget we are running our Wedding and Event workshops. See the information below.

We would love to see you there!
