Dress of the Month March

The snowdrops have melted into daffodil fields; the clocks go forward next weekend, (don't forget, sweet peas) - all this  can only mean one thing: summertime is nearly upon us. Squeak! 

To celebrate this glorious new chapter in the annual calendar, the dress of the month must be charmingly light and subtly bright. And this ethereal creation is just that.

The dress

The Florida Bloom Mesh Dress, £150

The designer

French Connection. With their finger well and truly back on the beat this season, the S/S2014 range sees FC doing what they do best. The palette is refreshing; the shapes are structured with a feminine flutter; and the styles are timeless. 

I saw this dress only today and immediately decided to share it with you. It's a bit of couture-inspired frothiness which will enhance any wardrobe and see you through summer parties, weddings and social events for years to come. If it's a little too girly for your tastes, sharpen it a la Carrie Bradshaw. Try teaming it with these on-trend pointy gold flats by Russell & Bromley or clash it with oversized chunky floral accessories.
