Since summer wont come....Oasis dress haul

With all the terrible weather that we have been having recently I decided to spice up my summer work wardrobe with some new dresses. Oasis have recently released a new selection of dresses in store alongside the sale that is currenly on. I initially only chose 3 dresses from the current selection, making a rookie mistake of not trying the dresses on in the store. I was dismayed to find that although I wear a size 8 from almost all highstreet retailers I needed to get a size 10 from Oasis. Consequently I took another trip to Oasis and discover another dress that I liked the look of. These can be found below with feedback on my thoughts after wearing each for a day in the office.

DRESS ONE: Bodycon dress

I actually first saw this dress on their website and I fell in love. The deep plum colour meant that it was appropriate to wear in the office without drawing too much attention to me. I also liked that it was a suitable length, stopping at just above the knee. One downfall that i found with this dress was that with it being a bodycon it does show the good, the bad and the ugly. If like me you are a little selfconcious and dont like the idea of all lumps and bumps being on dislay then this may not be the best choice for daytime wear. This dress does look great paired with a nice blazer. I wore mine with the H&M black 3/4 length sleeve blazer. (Retails at £40)

DRESS TWO: 2 in 1 dress

The dress, which comes in 3 colours - black, blue and plum, is the perfect summer dress. Whilst the weather may not be what we're used to at this time of year thhis dress is the perfect work- post work social outfit. I wore my dress to work and followed on with after work cocktails in the city. This dress really is perfect for all your 2 in 1 occaisions.


DRESS THREE: 90s stripes shift dress

This retro print summer dress has a unique eye catching pattern on the front. Not something that I would normally wear into the office I decided to wear this in on Monday in the hopes of shaking that monday morning feeling. I got great feed back for this dress which although based only in black and white comes with a splash of red round the centre as a slim fit belt. This dress will definately be making a reappearance to the office.

DRESS FOUR: 2 in 1 workwear dress

The final dress I purchased was the tan 2 in 1 work wear dress. At only £45 I found this to be very reasonably priced. The fabric and design of the dress gives it a very elegant feel. This dress is perfect for any office worker who likes to dress the part.

All in all I was pleasantly suprised by the selction of the dresses available in Oasis this season. Why not take a look yourselves.
