STITCHED UP!!
Last year embroidered fashion blasted into the hemisphere with THAT Next top that almost broke Instagram and became a best seller many times over. Everyone was wearing it (which always slightly puts me off an item) but there were many pretenders released. My favourite was the House of Fraser number that I'm showcasing on my Insta feed which I got last year and I'll be wearing loads this Summer (once cooler) into Autumn. 2018 sees embroidery making itself known again.
Now we'd all like to splurge on a Vita Kin original peasant dress (see below) but not everyone's budget stretches to such luxury (mine included) no matter how drop dead gorgeous a piece is ............ so I got a Zara dupe last year which I think you'll agree is pretty close for a mere fraction of the price (even cheaper as I got mine on Ebay). You can still find them knocking around the second hand sites if you're sharp eyed.
I wasn't surprised to find loads of shining examples at Free People and Anthropologie - two outlets that pride themselves on the boho look. A little tip, Anthropologie have an extra 20% of sale prices at the moment.
To cap it all off, what d'ya know, a lot of it's in the sale. So hold onto your hats, there's loads to cast your eye over (click on links to buy) .......
