The River Island dress to buy now (before you see it on someone else)

Cathy Donohue

We absolutely love this one.

I can’t be the only one that has a habit of seeing nice things, particularly occasion wear, and buying it when I haven’t a notion of wearing it anytime soon.

This River Island piece, more specifically, the Blue Lace Tassel Midi Dress has just landed and it’s priced at €113 which isn’t what you call cheap. However, it does look more expensive than your average high-street piece.

The colour is absolutely gorgeous and just perfect for summer which is why I have a feeling it’ll be spotted at a lot of summer 2018 weddings.

There’s also the fact that the tassel detail sets it apart from your usual ‘special occasion’ dress and ensures it stands out from the crowd.

On paper, it might look like your usual midi-length, pastel choice but the thick straps, hanging tassels and lace fabric bring it right up to date.

It’s currently available in all sizes but once spotted by shoppers, we don’t see it hanging around for too long.

And if you’re in the mood for a bit of a spree (why not), there’s a couple of other River Island pieces that are must-haves for summer.

Our favourites right now include this jacket, loved by Pippa O’Connor and this pretty dress, sure to be spotted in many an Instagram photo.
