Learning Curve
Off the shoulder, ‘Bardot’ designs are all the rage right now, and offer an ideal solution on those warm summer days at home or humid evenings abroad. Florals remain a go-to choice for high street stylists, and Dorothy Perkins has always been loud and proud with its penchant of all things flower-patterned. To accompany this ochre yellow blouse, pair it with white ankle-grazer white jeans. Perfect for creating a smart casual look for night or day, try wearing yours on holiday with nude sandals or heels.
Blouse: £26
Trousers: £28
