From the races, to weddings, christenings or even a graduation it can be hard to find the perfect outfit.
As seasons change we keep up with trends on a daily basis but when it comes to occasions timeless looks are always best.
Picking a timeless dress or outfit and putting your own stamp on it with accessories is the best way to get the most out of investment pieces for occasions. Occasion wear doesn't have to be expensive but sometimes it is nice to splash out!
There have been so many weddings over the summer and there are still more to go. Here are some of the outfits that might give you some inspo if you have an occasion coming up!
This green jumpsuit is from Coast. The fit is flattering and elegant. The sleek lines make this super chic while the flow of the material means it is still a soft and romantic look. The wide leg and wide shoulder mean that your waist is showcased in the best way possible as it looks like the smallest part of your body and the bow detail on the waist is feminine and pretty. Shop it here.
This beautiful floral dress is to die for. The shape of the dress hugs you in at all the right places. the cold shoulder and frill detail on the front is very on trend this year and the tropical print is just something a little different if you wanted to change it up from florals. The slit in the leg is sexy and means you can show off a stunning pair of shoes too! I also got my mam to open the slit a bit more to show off more leg :) it is so handy having a dress maker in the family. This dress is also from Coast and you can get it here.
This style of red dress with bright coloured florals is such a staple. Having a dress like this on hand will get you out of so many last minute situations. It is timeless and very easy to style, you just need to put it on and it does all the work for you once you have a nice tan as a base! Keep your shoes and accessories simple and let the dress do all of the talking. Shop this gorgeous dress from New Look here.
The last wedding of the year and I had to make a last minute dash to the shops the day before the wedding. If you didnt already know I am super last minute and I feel like I work well under pressure. There is method behind my madness too, I feel like the later I leave it to find a dress the more likely it will be brand new stock and no one else will be wearing the same.
I feel in love with this floral dress from Zara, something a little different but definitely on trend. I like to call this one granny chic haha. Shop it here

This colour is everywhere and it is obvious why - it is stunning! What a gorgeous colour to wear to an occasion with a dark tan.

This beautiful red dress from Nasty Gal is so feminine, it would be perfect for a wedding.
