So now that summer is here (well it’s started raining again in Liverpool, but that’s beside the point), a pretty, coral trend is emerging, similar to the neutral tones that we’ve seen earlier in the year. Winter saw beige, brown and camel and now summer is rocking pink, peach and coral. And I am loving it, so I thought I’d share with those of you in the blogosphere some of the best that the good ol’ high street can offer, all at affordable prices (because, y’know, I am a student, no designer labels for me just yet. Well apart from my 21st birthday present, thanks mum and dad!)
This coral spot shirt dress is a must-have for Summer 2011. Accessorised with or without a belt, this dress just hits the spot ;-). Polkadots are just so summery and feminine and at only £36 from Dorothy Perkins, there is just no reason not to buy it! Also, I was in Dorothy P the other day and I spotted (ok, the puns are getting a bit much now) the shirt version for £28. Would it be a bit much to get both?
Next is this gorgeous coral pleated dress from missguided.co.uk. With sequined shoulders, small puffed sleeves and satin cuffs, I am genuinely in love! Team with black heels to make this colour just pop. Also this picture definitely makes me have short hair envy, she looks amazing! And only for £27.00, this dress is a bargain!
This oval wave ring is £8.65 from Topshop. In this season’s hottest colour with mirrored waves, this is statement jewellery at its finest!
Again from Topshop, this cute jersey dress is just the thing for a summer holiday and for looking beautiful on the beach. Also cute for lounging around the house, just team with leggings and a long cardy. £22.00.
And also for those of you going away on a summer holiday, go for frills, spots AND coral with this cute, halter neck bikini. Rocking three looks in one, this bikini is a staple item for your summer wardrobe. Sold at Topshop for £26.50 and worth every penny!
Accessorise with coral with this satin, jewelled box clutch from New Look. At £15.99, this look is cute, girly and totally affordable. But remember not to over-do the coral when accessorising. Keep the outfit simple with muted, block colours, perhaps with a LBD, and make your accessories stand out rather than your garish colour matching.
One of my ultimate favourites on my coral outfit searches is this stunning wrap dress from Mango, for £34.90. Work coral with nautical style with this statement dress. Team with heels for a different going out number or sandals for a pretty, chic day look. Fave <3
And last but not least, work coral all the way from your fingertips to your toes with this OPI nail varnish in ‘Conga-line coral’. On sale for £7.95, why not treat yourself and give your nails a burnt orange glow this summer? After all, summer is all about painted nails and this colour is bang on trend!
