Everything’s better when the suns out, isn’t it? Though as someone who, surprisingly, tans quite easily I do spend most of the Summer slathered in SPF50 or skulking around in the shade in my attempt to stay pale. I only got this fedora last Autumn & until then I didn’t own any other hats except for beanies, so I’m only now appreciating how perfect it is for shading my face & shoulders on bright sunny days. I’ve had so many moments of ‘why didn’t I buy this sooner?’ with this hat, and that’s yet another one.

I brought a very similar dress to this one a few months ago, the Religion one that had been on my wishlist, and though that one is undoubtedly nicer & better quality it also has a lot more fabric & is quite heavy. I got this one as a more everyday version, it’s the exact same chiffon fabric & shape, just without the multiple layers, I only wish the neckline had been a little lower & more similar. Plus, being less than a quarter of the price, I wont mind so much when the hem of this one gets unavoidably trashed from dragging on the floor either!

My bare legs don’t often see the light of day, as you can tell from how almost grey they are from lack of sun, so you know it’s a really hot day when I have them out. The past few days have been gorgeously warm, sunny & with a nice breeze to stop the stickyness, the best kind of English summer weather & this shirt dress couldn’t have arrived at a better time. It’s light, airy & comfortable, whilst still looking smart & is perfect for throwing on super simply with barely anything else. If it wasn’t for the breeze I would definitely have worn this undone a little, but I’m a sucker for a buttoned up collar & the chiffon panels and weightless fabric made it so much more bearable.

It has been almost non stop torrential rain for the past week, a typical start to the British summer really, but finally we’ve been given a little break. Yesterday it was on & off all day, so we decided we’d better make the most of it & get some quick outfit shots, do excuse my probably moodier than usual face (and hair!) I’d been rained on all day as I was stupidly optimistic & didn’t take an umbrella out with me. You’d think I’d know better by now!

This is pretty much my standard casual outfit, if you ever see me around running errands, having an off day or walking the dog I’ll be wearing some version of this. The newest addition to this formula though is my new Nike Sky Hi‘s & I have barely taken them off since they arrived. The clever concealed wedge gives you a little height, whilst keeping all the comfort of a standard sneaker, plus that classic, chunky Dunk shape will always be one of my favourites. I think this may be the start of a bit of an obsession, I already have my eye on the newer black on black colourway (of course!) and I honestly don’t know why I didn’t get myself a pair sooner.
