Friday Treat: One Dress Five Options

When you're just too damn hot...

You know those heavy and heady sunny days where every single item of clothing feels too much on your skin? This dress - in five options - from H&M is the least amount of clothes you can decently wear (add bra and knickers as your own preference) and be seen in public. It's this same dress that can take you to Tesco to stock up on ice as well as it can take you to the shore to dip your toes in the sea.

In a blend of 81% viscose and 19% polyamide, it's going to catch any welcome wisp of a breeze and look gently floaty. The frills are dropped so the effect will be sleek and streamlined rather than puffy.

Personally, the blue option is my favourite - I think I might, if it's not one of those stifling city days, wear a racer back white t-shirt underneath. Otherwise, I'll just be flopping about in the garden with Dora seeking shade and drinking the coldest drink I can find.

For £27.99, in sizes XS to 4XL I feel like it's an absolute snip - don't forget if it's too long you can fray the hem which would look great with flip flops and a bright orange/red polish on your toes. A wide brimmed hat, a pair of sunglasses and a glass of rose are the only accessories to consider. It's HERE.

I am wearing a size M (no bra and my yoga tracky bottoms underneath - reason 8,550 why I'm not a fashion influencer) - I'm 5ft 3 so you can see the length is fine and it's adjustable at the straps - I think this dress can finish anywhere and still look ok. My bust size is a D and if I'd had more time I would have tried on the L as well for a bit more of a streamlined fall.
