Keep summer alive by rocking the Grecian look at freshers!



Boohoo £25.00
 Been on an 18 to 30s this year? Zante? Somewhere like that? (just somewhere hot will do). I don't know about you but I'm just not ready to crack out the Uggs and winter parkas just yet. The weather definitely isn't helping but I'm so up for clinging onto a little bit of summer for a few days so if you still have some killer tan-lines why not bring a little Grecian touch to freshers week?

Kicking off with something simple, but extremely glam and lush, this vibrant orange maxi from BooHoo is perfect for a day-to-night situation or one of those really annoying nights when you only pop to the pub for a few but end up fist pumping in on the dance floor all night long! The sleeveless dress has loose, light material with a belt round the waist nipping your divine figure however this can be doubled up with a gold waist belt truly fit for the gods. This waist tie also comes in handy if you find yourself too short and the dress is dragging on the floor- all you need to do is bunch the material up a tiny bit under the tie. The pleats and high neckline give this dress a Grecian touch but if you still feel that it's a bit plain dig out a chunky gold statement bangle or necklace and at a bargain £25.00 you can't refuse this divine intervention!                                                                                                                                            
£30.00 from BooHoo

If you can't decide between a maxi or a midi number go for this dipped hem dress also from BooHoo. Like the above dress this item clinches the waist allowing a feminine, sexy shape giving Aphrodite a run for her money. The pleats are patterned, thicker and more defined which makes the dress a little more edgy than the above so if you're planning to make a statement this is the dress for you. The high neckline is detailed and metallic, standing out from the rest of the dress so don't worry about a necklace. Accessorize with a large detailed bangle (the ones that wrap around the wrist normally in flower or vine design) or a simple gold armlet. The dipped hem affect creates a stage for your shoes so what ever pair you pick make them count! Killer heals, gladiator sandals, shoe boots the choice is up to you but make them stand out. The dark colors also gives you the option of going loud and proud with a color clash.

Bring a little fight to your wardrobe with this gladiator-esque dress from my newly discovered  http://www.goddiva.co.uk/  (the clues in the name) which offers a selection of unique, stylish clothes without the bulky price tag. The body con central structure of this dress is paneled with studs bringing in some statement and attitude. The one shouldered and extra drape material is slightly darker in color and pleated which we know emits that authentic Grecian feel. This dress won't make you completely butch and spartan though- the pink coral color is flirty, fun and feminine. When it comes to accessories go thin and petite. Or a simple headband with the top section of your hair backcombed into a half- beehive with the hair below your crown falling in loose, big, bouncy curls.  

If you'd prefer to rock the Grecian look in something a little more subtle then this is the choice for you. This gorgeous embellished shift dress from Lipsy retails at £55.00 but, like anything from Lipsy, it's worth saving your pennies for. The crisp white color will accentuate and almost double your tan color and if you're lacking in color a little trip to St Moriz or San Tropez won't hurt! This dress would compliment an athletic build but for a pear shape, like me, it wouldn't do so many favors. Because this dress is simple you can work it however you want! Match it up with a statement print blazer for a lunch or dinner date or glam it up with killer heels and over-sized clutch for a night on the town.
