What are two fashion fundamentals for the warmer months? A chic, crisp shirt and a swishy midi skirt<\/a>. So it makes sense that, when you combine the two, you create one of the chicest pieces you can have in your wardrobe: the shirtdress. Floaty, sophisticated and, when crafted from 100% cotton, unlikely to leave you sweating through your day to day activities.<\/p>\n

A prime example? Boden’s Alexa shirtdress, a frock I was genuinely surprised to see was still in stock, and eligible for a 15% discount. It ticks all of the above boxes, is available in every size (except a 20), and comes in one of my favourite colour trends that everyone is wearing this July: citrus.<\/p>\n

But, Boden’s dress isn’t designed in the citrus shades<\/a> you’ve seen everywhere else, such as lemon yellow or lime green. Instead, it’s drenched in a bold blood orange hue, reminiscent of the juicy Mediterranean fruit grown in destinations such as Seville and Valencia. <\/p>\n

Featuring an adjustable tie waist, making it a great option if you’re planning a holiday and expect to indulge in delicious dinners every evening. And, of course, it comes with pockets, which, as we all know, are always a welcome addition for keeping smaller essentials close to hand.<\/p>\n

As always with Boden, quality is king, so the appeal of the Alexa dress extends far beyond its striking colour. Crafted from 100% cotton, it’ll keep you cool whether you’re running daily errands or heading to the pub with friends on a warm summer evening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What are two fashion fundamentals for the warmer months?
