In January, I always like to take a proper look at my wardrobe, de-clutter it and decide what I need to invest in for the year ahead. I think about what I wore a lot during the previous year and what I would like to either change or keep the same about my style for the year to come. After doing this last week I realized that during 2017, I found myself reaching for dresses a lot more. Looking back I really enjoyed styling different kinds of dresses and adapting them to my personal style. So, this year I decided I definitely want to invest in few more options. Over the weekend I did a little bit of online shopping and came across some great options so I thought I would share them with you too. Whether you need one for day wear, a night out or a special occasion, I’ve linked a variety below. I love the feeling of knowing you have a nice dress in your wardrobe for when an occasion pops up so I tend to always buy one I like straight away when I see it. I hope you spot one you like!

Slip dresses are a style in particular that I enjoyed putting an outfit together with last year. I love how versatile they are and the fact you can wear them during any season. At the moment, I love wearing them over polo necks. This polka dot one is very cute and so on trend too. I also fell in love with jumper dresses last year in a big way. I definitely want to add this grey one to my collection! As for some dressier styles, I really like how sleek this plain black option is from ASOS. This bardot ruffled sleeved option also caught my eye and is currently on sale!
