Dresses Are Not Just For Summer...

January 04, 2013



Many of us probably own many a ‘summer dress’ that are now packed away safe and sound in our wardrobes, waiting to see the light of day for a few weeks during the summer months. After taking a trip to Portobello Road and bagging myself an amazing vibrant orange, floral summer dress for just a fiver, I was keen to wear it pretty soon, the only problem was it was Mid-December. So I decided to layer up and add a pop of colour to these pretty dull days.

I have taken these pictures whilst on Holiday, and where I am, Wellies are definitely needed! In an ideal world I’d buy a pair of Hunters and pretend I was a country goddess, but sadly I don’t think I can reason spending almost £100 on a pair of Wellington Boots, so for the time being, similar looking ones will have to do! Mine are from Lowther and can be bought in places such as Blacks.

Surprise, surprise, I have paired the dress with my trusty Leather Jacket. I have worn it SO much over Autumn/Winter , and to be honest, I will probably still be wearing it amongst the heat of summer as I love it too much to pack it away for the season. I think a jacket and boots adds a real festival vibe to an outfit and makes you think of summer whilst you are freezing your little tootsies off in the winter!

I love the beautiful lace collar and pretty pleating on this dress as they add an elegant touch and make it look a lot more expensive than it actually cost. I would really recommend if you are in London, popping by Portobello Road as it is full of quirky, vibrant shops that just scream vintage! (Also make sure you visit The Hummingbird Bakery whilst you’re there, they’re Hot Chocolates are legendary!)
