Welcome back to the Velvet Runway and this post about Summer Blues and this dress from SheIn. Even though Summer is coming to an end, (and hence the title Summer blues) I am not yet ready to give up summer maxi dresses, and I have a thing for the cold shoulder trend, the beach and the colour blue.

Summer blues and SheIn Wishlist

As I had a lot of positive feedback from my last post featuring a blue maxi dress, I decided to try another blue maxi dress in a different style! Read on for more photos and details about this  maxi dress from SheIn* and what I learned about taking photos at the beach!

Summer blues and SheIn WishList

A few weeks ago I featured an off the shoulder maxi -dress from SheIn (see here), and I received a lot of positive feedback, so when I was asked by SheIn * if I would like to review another dress I jumped at the chance, as I had already seen several items on their site that I had added to my WishList!

I hesitated between this maxi dress and the items you can see in my WishList below (updated for the Spring 2022 SheIn) collection, but in the end, I decided to make the most of the end of the Summer and opt for this dress.

Again, I chose to take the photos for this post at the beach as I felt this was the perfect backdrop to this dress, and although the dress came with a tie belt, I added a wide belt to make the waist more defined, and show off my curves. However, this time I chose to wear flat sandals as I didn’t think the location was very practical in heels!

This turned out to be a very wise decision as I nearly had a few falls whilst scrambling over some of the rocks. However, the mistake I made was not bringing anything to tie my hair back, so in many of the photos I either have hair in front of my eyes or appear to have no hair at all, as it’s all blowing back behind me!

This dress is currently on sale at $26,99, and represents good value for money as it is 100% cotton.

I chose size M and, to be honest, it would probably have been better in L as it is a little tight on the bust, although it is fine on the waist and hips! Still, I have this problem quite often with dresses and am used to wearing a tee underneath! 

I would definitely recommend paying attention to the sizing when you order as detailed measurements are given on each item page so I would definitely recommend taking your own measurements and checking them against the site to avoid any nasty surprises! I did take my measurements but hesitated between the two sizes!

Each page also includes photos of the item, details of the material, fabric type (stretch or no stretch) and reviews, so don’t hesitate to check this out, but be prepared to spend a long time on the site, as there is so much to choose from!!

At the moment SheIn have a sale on, up to 45% off your first order and free shipping for purchases over 30$, so check out my WishList below (Picks updated for the Spring 2022 collection. Just click on the image to go directly to the SheIn product page), and their site here!

I hope you enjoyed this feature about Summer Blues and a SheIn Wishlist, and have a look here for more of our style features.
