The trend for exposed shoulders has been around for a while now if my memory serves me correctly. I’ll admit, it’s one I’ve hesitated to adopt- I’m one of those people who is ALWAYS freezing so it didn’t make a lot of sense in my mind to purposely leave part of exposed to the wrath of the weather. This all changed a month or so ago when I was browsing in store at Marks and Spencer, idly picking through the sale rail not looking for anything in particular or indeed anything at all. I first picked this dress based on the print alone, and the length and the fact it has long sleeves. I didn’t notice the cold shoulders at this point but even once I did I decided that I’d take the plunge and try out yet another new style (the £15 price tag did help sway me!).

I’m not quite sure what’s going on with my hair here, it’s taken on a life of it’s own. It has been much neglected lately though- not even a trim since early March! Thankfully I’m booked in for both cut AND colour next week and I’m looking forward to getting a bit of a revamp. I’m not great at having my hair done, I struggle with someone being in my personal space for an extended period of time BUT I’m craving change. A new style. A new colour. A new start for me. Feel free to leave style suggestions in the comments, I think I know what I’m going for but I’m still open to ideas…
This looks so good on you Laura, and like you, I was never too sure or keen on the cut-out shoulders style, but it suits you so well and you’ve changed my mind on it! I really like the fact it has long sleeves and the print is perfect for this time of year so it’s a nice transitional piece. Looking lovely Laura! – Tasha
I haven’t tried cut out shoulders yet but I’d totally be up for doing so. Love this on you, it’s also a really nice colour and print. I feel the same re hair, very out of control. Really need to get around to dyeing it again- regrowth is almost back to my bun.
I haven’t tried this trend either. Just can’t bear the thought of cold shoulders at the moment, I am freesing. I love this dress on you. The print is lovely and the length perfect for you.
Looks good on you! I didn’t fancy the idea of cold shoulders at all! Any tops or dresses with exposed shoulders always have been pulling at my sleeves! Your hair looks nice, not sure what you mean!x
