If there is one purchase I like to make every spring, it's a new dress. For me this is one area where I like to add a bit of colour to an otherwise fairly neutral wardrobe.

I like to be prepared for summer weddings, parties and holiday evenings. Buying a new dress early in the season means I won't have to spend loads of money on birthday or wedding presents and then scratch my head over the expense of a new outfit!

I know what shapes suit me and I also like to invest in a dress that I can visualise with both heels and embellished or metallic flat summer sandals. Shift dresses usually fit that bill unlike shapes that have a waistline which often look silly worn with flats.

This Asos dress took my eye and pretty much fits all of my requirements. I haven't really looked anywhere else, this is on the wishlist, my heart is set on it. I'm thinking my gold Moschino block heeled sandals (My-Wardrobe sale years ago) for occasion dressing and strappy flats for holiday evenings in Marbella in May. Asos Bird Print Midi Dress £68 here.
Have you seen a summer dress to covet?
