Eyelet dress: Weekly steal

While this pretty little thing might look like it cost the big bucks, at just $39 it is a darling of a deal.

What it is: Eyelet dress, Joe Fresh, $39

How to wear it: Looking for the perfect garden party dress? While this pretty little thing might look like it costs a fortune, at just $39 it is a darling of a deal. Slip into it for a summer soiree with espadrilles and a sparkly statement necklace or sport it on a stroll with simple gold sandals and an oversized straw hat.

Why I love it: White is one of my favourite colours. Not only is it crisp and oh-so-clean, but on super hot days it doesn't show sweat marks (my ultimate fear). I love the A-line fit and super chic detailing of this sweet crochet dress and with such an affordable price tag it really is a lotta luxe for less. I am wearing it now with a pastel yellow cardigan and printed ballet flats, but will be dressing it up with a pair of patterned wedges and a stack of gold bangles for a summer party on the patio.
