Carlie Mini Dress - Dusty Blue

Strapless and short is the most direct shape a dress can take, and the Carlie Mini Dress does not dress it up as anything more complicated. The neckline is strapless, so the shoulders and collarbone are entirely open, and the hem sits at mini length. There is nothing else asking for attention — no print, no sleeve, no detail at the neck. Dusty blue is what keeps that simplicity from reading as plain: softer and greyer than a bright blue, which makes it considerably easier to wear. Bare shoulders and a short hem point straight at the evening. Dinner, drinks, a birthday, a summer party. It is also an easy dress to change the mood of: a heeled sandal and gold jewellery for something dressier, a flat and a jacket over the top when the night is more relaxed. Hair up either way.
