Delightful Dress: Striped Belted Skater Dress from Lipsy

Two Spring/Summer trends for 2013 are monochrome and geometric patterns, and this stripey skater dress from Lipsy ticks both boxes.  Horizontal stripes are often quite scary, but the fact that these are so narrow means that this shouldn't really be an issue.  The pleats in the skirt, cinched waist and slight stretch in the material should all combine well to give a really lovely, flattering fit.  It can be dressed up with a blazer and heels or for a more casual look, can be teamed with sandals and a denim jacket.  Available in sizes 6 - 18, it's half price at £25.
