Occasion Dressing: One Perfect Dress is All You Need for the Season

This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.

Ascot is over but wasn’t it fun to open the newspaper each morning and see photos of some of the gorgeous dresses. It is so rare nowadays that us women get to dress up in all of our finery so I love it when we can. Occasion dressing does not worry me as it just needs one perfect dress but of course that may be more challenging than we think.

Occasion Dressing: One Perfect Dress is All You Need for the Season ASCOT LADIES DAY 2019
ASCOT LADIES DAY 2019

I live in Henley-on-Thames so I have the perfect excuse to buy this one perfect dress each year. However I often wheel out one of my old ones as some years dresses are in short supply. This year I have scoured the online shops to find my perfect dress. The fashion houses are full of them I am happy to say. We are spoilt for choice so maybe you don’t have the time to sift through them all. Boden have 564 dresses! Anyway I hope I have taken some of the ‘armwork’ out of it for you and have chosen 12 dresses and one pair of shoes!
