Style Update: An off the shoulder number from ASOS

Whether you've decided to jump into summer shopping or not, you can no longer hide from the fact that the weather is changing and the heat will soon require arms and legs on show - for cooling purposes, naturally. So, I'm taking an early hit for the team and wearing summer attire in London weather that hasn't exactly received the memo that heat is required with sun. 

Alright, that's not entirely the truth. The truth is that everything I own is in storage and I'm pretty much left with what I have in my suitcase from Los Angeles and what I can find to order online to keep things fresh in the meantime. So there you have it - no sacrifice at all, just another excuse to shop. And this latest ensemble came together as a result. This off-the-shoulder ASOS dress is one I think I'll have plenty of fun with this summer. 

Now, here's hoping the next time I go to create a style update for you lovely folks, I'll have my closet fully unpacked and ready to rumble!
