Oasis has always been a great place to look for affordable event dressing outfits. They do a really big range of fantastic dresses that are just made for a day at the races, a summer wedding or a big birthday do. I don’t know about you, but after 2 years of staying within 2 miles of my house, and literally NO fun events to go to, I’m totally ready, willing and able to dress up again. I’ve picked out some of my favourite looks from Oasis, I hope you find something that tickles your fancy…
SUPER SMART FLORALS
Heading to a late Spring wedding? Or maybe just the Chelsea Flower Show? I know it’s not mandatory to dress up to wander around some gardens, but I’m going again this year and me and my friends have already planned out outfits. All of which involve a floral dress or some sort. I love the print and the sleeve detail of this one. I’m wearing it in the main picture and it looks WAY more expensive than it is!
1. Oasis floral printed long sleeve midi dress
2. Missoma square malachite necklace
4. 8 Other Reasons mini green bag
5. Oasis leather closed toe strappy sandals
THE DARKER SIDE
OK, so maybe not the done thing to wear solid black to a wedding or a summer event, I’m forever turning up like a goth when everyone else is in pastels. Why not try a dark base colour mixed with brights, then you can stay within your comfort zone but still fit in with they dress code.
1. Lulu Guinness Red Lips clutch bag
2. Lillibets Millinery felt pill box hat
3. Oasis frill ruffle bouquet dress
4. Oasis burnt orange double breasted blazer
5. Oasis open toe croc stilettos
A FLOATY NUMBER
Don’t be afraid to mix up your prints. This dress already does it for you. Adding a floaty sleeve to soften it all up. You could even go all out and add some printed accessories if you’re feeling extra brave.
1. Oasis mixed floral angel sleeve midi dress
2. Moyono textiles wide leopard knot headband
4. Boden leopard prints Mary Jane flats
A LITTLE BIT OF LACE
Lastly, but not leastly (is that word?) a lace or beaded dress is a great way to add interest to a plain coloured dress. Maybe don’t rock up to your best friends wedding wearing a white lace dress though. Awkward. I feel like this outfit would suit a Christening or a summer party. Fans of The Real Housewives fo Beverly Hills will be familiar with Kyle’s legendary ‘White Party’, I would totally wear this outfit to that. Might even end up pushing Lisa Rinna into the pool…
1. Oasis premium lace puff sleeve midi dress
2. Missoma pearl mismatch earrings
3. Gucci crystal embellished resin hair clip
4. Lulu Guinness ivory shell bag
5. Oasis plaited strap gold sandals
