ONE DRESS TWO LOOKS – Summer at Primark Fashion Collection 2018
If you’ve seen my Instagram stories you would have seen me chatting away in this cute, palm 🌿 printed dress from @primark earlier this week…
To get these photos I woke up at 6am to meet my neighbour Katya (who by chance is also an incredible photographer) for a photoshoot here in Aranjuez on the grounds outside the Royal Palace. We deciced to do do an early shoot because it is currently in the mid to high 30ºC here in Madrid and it´s nooooo fun being outside during the middle of the day.
I love this short dress because it is light and airy! You can dress it up with heels, a cute bag and sunnies for the perfect outfit to meet your girls for a lunch a.k.a look 1. Or, for a more casual, beachy vibe you can add another pair of your favourite sunnies, a beach tote bag and a pair of flip flops (like the Roxy ones I´m wearing in look 2) and head to the pool or beach if you´re lucky enough to live close to one or be on holiday 😉
Look 1
I love this look because it is easy to throw together and head out the door. I bought these tie up lace heels from Primark last season and the wicker crossbody bag during Spring 2018. I love looking at trends (online, YouTube, Instagram or friends) and then trying to find good dupes for them in budget stores like Primark, H&M, C&A, Romwe and Shein.
Visit my Shop My Style page to shop some of my looks that look good but won´t break the bank. #budgetfashionista
Look 2
I bought this huge pink and white beach tote bag from a local store here in Aranjuez and paired the look with plain white flip flops. I could easily have changed it up for tennis shoes (trainers like converse – these are on sale for $35 btw!!!) with the same wicker crossbody bag – which would take the look from beach to casual.
I put together this widget for you guys with a few other palm printed dresses that are ON SALE RIGHT NOW! Don´t miss out 🙂
Ciao & Happy Shopping!

Such a cute dress! Love the color and print of this dress – so vibrant and so pretty! It’s hard to take pictures when it’s hot so that’s a great idea to get outside and take pictures early on.
