Styling a Strappy, Tiered Summer Dress With All The Accessories

Dresses with tiered skirts seem to be this year’s style of choice, and I’m all over it.

Add a square neckline with straps and a few discreet ruffles and I’m happy as Larry. This dress* – part of my Instagram collab with JD Williams – came in a gorgeous mustard/black/ecru tropical floral print (I think? Would you say that’s tropical?) and I was challenged to style it my way.

So I COULD have left it as it was and just added shoes or sandals… but hey, this is me and I don’t do minimalism, do I?!

Therefore: enter a wealth of accessories. (It’s the only way I know how to roll.)

The bag* (sold out, sorry), belt* (only in black now, ughh this isn’t going well) and mule sandals* (the brand is Dune but available on the JDW website) were what I chose as part of the collab. I’ve already worn them all loads already, probably because they’re all neutral colours.

And a little note about those sunglasses… when I saw them I knew I HAD to have them – they’re almost identical to the black frame/yellow lenses glasses I had a pair of in the 90s. Except the shape was a lot more narrow back then. But a little nostalgia never hurt anyone, did it?!

Have you noticed how the tiered skirt shape is a bit of a thing this year (are you into the tiers)? And if you had a similar pair of glasses in the 90s – SHOUT!! lol ; -)

Stay safe, XOXO
