Sundress up

Summer; the season of warmth, cocktails and, one of my personal favourites, sundresses.There's an understated quality about sundresses that I just adore. They're simple yet alluring, demure yet attention-grabbing, comfortable yet elegant. In other words, you just can't go wrong with a sundress in summer.

A lot of girls tend to shy away from sundresses, especially if you're like me and aren't 200% comfortable with getting your legs out, but I think that we all need to be a little more brave. Sundresses are feminine and flattering, and I don't about you but I certainly feel more dainty wearing them. There's almost an old-Hollywood feel about wearing a sundress, as they're not seen worn by teenagers much anymore, but they were all the rage for older women and teenage girls alike when they were popularized by American fashion designer and socialite, Lilly Pulitzer, back in the 1960s.

The two things I love the most about sundresses: 1) Due to the fact that they're usually meant to be quite loose and flowy, they suit pretty much all shapes and sizes, so you don't need to be rake thin to think you can pull one off. 2) There are so many pretty, yet still affordable, sundresses available on the high street! So there's plenty of choice, without having to empty out the contents of your purse. I've found that H&M in particular have some cute, but cheap, ones out this year. A few of my favourites from H&M.com will be posted below.

So please, be a little more brave and take a chance on a sundress! I guarantee you'll feel, even slightly, more glamorous this summer.
