How to Wear Off the Shoulder Pre Summer

Hi Everyone,

As the sun shines aren’t we all just itching to get out our lovely summer clothes! The great thing is you can. It’s just a matter of combining things a little differently and adding a layer or two more than you would need in Summer.

How to Wear Off the Shoulder Pre Summer

If you’re also following me in instagram you’ve probably already seen how I styled my black off the shoulder dress. Looking at Paris Street style pictures confirmed that the combination of pink and black works brilliantly.

See here:

… and now how I styled my cute Motto Fashions off the shoulder dress:

The trick is -whilst it may be too cold to walk around revealing shoulders outside, inside it’s generally already warm enough so why not simply throw over a pale pink coat. Wear off the shoulders now and keep warm at the same time!

As the shoes are pink I wouldn’t  team it up with black stockings but leggings would work too as they allow for a gap between end of black legging and where the shoe starts.

The Blue look…

I also have a sweet blue striped off the shoulder dress from Motto Fashions – keeping it all in shades of blue and adding jeans under the dress make this off the shoulder dress perfect for wearing right now!

I added the pink bag to really give the outfit a true Spring feel to it…not to mention it’s my newest souvenir from iblues bought in Milan – eek shhhhh!

Both the black and striped dress are exactly the same cut – can’t wait to take them on Summer vacation as they don’t crush or take up any space at all and you can so easily either dress them up or down.

  1. Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. The blue dress is awesome despite it is a cold shoulder look. This look is just too cold for Alaska

    1. I feel for you Nicole – whilst I would love to visit Alaska I know it’s one place I would find hard to live in …but you do a great job of coping with the cold!

      xoxo

  2. You say both the pink dress and the striped dress… but you meant the black dress?
    Anyway… I love the blue/green striped dress and you styled it beautifully with jeans, boots, bag, jacket. Very on trend.
