Allow me to introduce you to the perfect companion for Summer. The Little White Dress.

She will see you through country walks in Surrey, Summer days marvelling at art galleries in London, and long evenings sipping cocktails on roof terraces.

Dress up with a black blazer, gold jewellery and pearl earrings or dress down with low rise white Converse.

This one is from Gap in the sale. I love it because of the flattering flared skirt, it’s made from cool cotton and it’s machine washable (particularly handy if you eat a burger from the barbeque with as much grace as me!)

If you only buy one thing in August, make it a Little White Dress.
