IF YOU HAVEN’T yet explored the gem that is Siopaella, you are in for a real treat.
The Temple Bar based clothing shop is much more than a second-hand store.
It’s an Aladdin’s cave of pre-worn and pre-loved clothes that are in excellent condition and sold at excellent prices. A quick lunchtime browse at the shop brought up these 6 gorgeous dresses that are absolutely ideal for a weekend brunch.
1. Luxury Leopard
- €39 from River Island
- Size: 8
Leopard is one of the stand out prints of the season. This flattering wrap dress, paired with some box-fresh white runners, will make you the belle of the Brunch hall.
2. Woodland Wonder
- €35 from Warehouse
- Size: 12
The perfect Autumn/Winter dress does not exi-…
The dark background is a gorgeous contrast for the soft and sophisticated palette of the woodlands and woodland creatures. With a pair of over-the-knee boots, this is a look that will never go out of fashion.
Also, how cute are the ruffle detail on the sleeves?
3. Pink
- €35 from Topshop
- Size: 12
If you’re not ready for summer to be over just yet, then this cupid pink is the best way to keep some bright colour in your wardrobe.
With midi-length dresses and skirts all the rage this summer, the asymmetric hem adds an interesting dimension that will make you stand out.
4. Stripe
- €29 from Zara
- Size: Large
A stripey dress is always a classic, but if the stripes are designed ever so slightly wrong then you’re in the danger zone of looking like a prison inmate or a barcode label. However, the contrast of the horizontal and vertical stripes adds an unexpectedly high-fashion element, that will look much more expensive than Zara.
5. Snakeskin
- €49 from Ghost
- Size: Medium
Another animal print that is bang on trend at the moment is snakeskin print. The flattering and skimming material on this dress will make you feel as slinky as a snake.
Hypnotizing!
6. Black flower Power
- €29 from Zara
- Size: Medium
This embroidered smock dress is sure to make you stand out from the crowd with its unusual shape and the eye-catching contrasts of colour. The red against the black is particularly striking and sure to get you in the mood for Christmas.
