Just a few days before summer is well and truly here. The summer fashion is reflecting our collective feeling of wanting to be comfortable.
Lately, I have been inspired by nature and colours and have curated mood boards on the Style Angel socials for your inspiration.
Today, I delved more into summer fashions suitable for work at the office or home and the festive period.
In the past few months, I have discovered so many great online "clothing" stores with a focus on making you feel comfortable, designing for the female shape at whatever dress size.
Styling sessions now include broad research into online brands, that will suit you, so you are not limited to what is in store at your shopping centres.
Below are some of the dresses I picked and my inspiration on how to mix and match accessories and shoes.
LEINA & FLEUR DRESS
The popular QLD label Leina & Fleur brings out new styles weekly, always cut for the female shape. These dresses sell out quickly knowing they are comfortable. And they are manufactured in Australia!!
This dress is like a mix and match dream as there are so many colours you can pick up. If you want to have summer cardigan ideas, have a look in the Pinterest board.
For me, this dress sums up summer!

A lazy summers day look. I consider this green dress by Forever New to be like a blank canvas, ready to be worn with any colour shoe or accessory.
Pop a light jeans jacket over it when the weather gets a little cooler and you are ready to go. Or a nice linen blazer and you a ready for the office or a zoom call. The little split on the side is flattering as well.
