Floral Baseball dress ft Pink Clove

You know when you idly browse sites and something grabs your attention and no matter how much scrolling you do after, you find yourself going back to that one item? That's what happened with this dress. Constant revisiting it to have another look, asking myself 'Do I need it? How many ways could I wear it?' Well, let's be honest, it's a floral dress, how many ways can you really wear it? One. But it's that gorgeous I didn't care.

Pink Clove have really upped their game this year. Whether I'm browsingptheir home site or on Asos, I'm guaranteed to find something I want. Which for me, is a really big deal! 

This button down dress is made from a stretchy jersey material. It's light enough to wear for warm weather but obviously could be layered over tights/leggings in the colder months. On me, the length is just ideal. I can bend right over without flashing the world my bum- no one needs to see that! I love the nod to a baseball style top, channelling Madonna in A League of Their Own and the tropical prints give it that little tiki/retro edge. Right up my street!

Christmas Party Season with Wingz

 If you're like thousands of women out there who struggle to find clothes that cover the arms, wether it's the full arm or just partly, then Wingz are absolute gem for your wardrobe. 

I've been aware of Wingz for as long as I've been part of the blogging community but as I happen to like my big wobbly arms, I didn't feel I needed any. Until I tried them! 

Now, I'm all for getting my arms out, especially in the summer but when it comes to winter, I'm more than comfortable in a big oversized cardigan. But they're just not practical when I go out 'dressed up'. This is where Wingz have changed the game for me. I'm a sucker for buying things in the end of summer sales then I find the weather goes down hill and I'm having to store all my beautiful summer things away. 

I was planning to show you how you could wear these sleeves with party dresses but I thought why not switch it up and wear them under a jumpsuit.

 

Now as much as I love a good cardigan, I don't want to cover my outfit up if I'm going out out. These Wings were just right. As they only cover my arms, I was not too hot but I also didn't feel too exposed either. I'm wearing the size 2 here. They are so versatile and I'm already thinking about other dresses and outfits that I can drag back out to wear with them. You could even buy them as a gift? There are a great selection of styles and colours over on the Wingz site and would make a great addition to any wardrobe.

Engaging in an EBay find OOTD

You know those times when you're stupidly bored and you end up trawling various search terms on eBay? Well I recently stumbled across this little cream dress of dreams and put it in my 'watch list'. The next day I got an invite to an engagement party and just knew that the dress was a little sign that it was the perfect dress for that said occasion. Bonus! 

I ended up winning the dress for less than £5 but unfortunately the labels had been cut out so I have no idea where it's from! 

I'm not usually one for cream or white but so glad I took the chance as I love how it looked, even if my lily white skin is the same tone! 

I just love the lace detailing on the neckline.

I teamed the dress with a cute pair of baby pink lace shoes with chunky heels.

The fluffy fold over clutch was handmade by me. I had spotted similar styles on various websites this year but knew that I could make such a simple style bag myself. It ended up costing me less than £3 in total. 

Have you tried wearing a new colour this summer? Do light colours put you off? X
