A load of people are wearing this €40 Zara blouse as a dress and it looks fab

In THREE colours.

When the weather is as changeable as it has been lately, it’s good to consider some versatile wardrobe staples.

Ready-for-the-ski-slopes Vs tropical-beach-party… we’ve had a bit of everything in recent days.

And clearly one of the most irritating elements of wildly fluctuating conditions is the ‘what will I wear’ dilemma.

Because if you don a maxi and sandals, there’ll be a hurricane. Dressed-up as a mountaineer? Oh, then it’ll be sweltering.

However, Zara may have a rather fetching solution – and it’s only €40 too.

Yes – step forward the retailer’s contrasting pleated blouse, which comes in green, off-white, and pink.

It sports a flowing V-neck blouse with long sleeves and pleated cuffs, as well as an asymmetric pleated hem and buttons on the front.

Stunners!

However, and although the blouse is strictly-speaking a top, plenty of fab folk are successfully wearing it as a dress.

Among them is Carol Byrne – PR guru and House Leeson Street ambassador. She travelled to Milan recently, where she wore the piece with nude strappy sandals and a nude bag.

The same blouse was furthermore spotted on the recent Insta story of model Joanne Cooper – who dutifully shared a snap of her mate, Hannah, looking like a ride wearing the off-white offering.

The off-white version is defo oh-so fab and really great for the summer season – but we reckon for versatility (and keeping clean) it’s gotta be the green.

Which one is your favourite??
