One of my constant quests when it comes to clothing is how to best do ‘dressy casual’…how to put together and outfit that is simple and stylish…shows that you have made an effort, without going over the top.

For me, the best way to do this is to pair a simple shift dress with a fab clutch and (depending on the occasion) some killer heels or flats.

Here are some of my favourite shifts and clutches, all of which are available from Net-A-Porter.
