After the recent arrival of true Winter weather it felt both fantastic and alien to receive my first addition to my Summer wardrobe and break out of the long sleeves and ankle boots. I love seeing the new season stock arrive in the shops, a sign that change is on the horizon and a perfect opportunity to try something new (you know, as in try on something new because you can’t afford it…)
Dress c/o Madam Rage | Brogues: Hobbs via McArthur Glen in Swindon
After spending most of the winter in fairly muted tones with not much print it was refreshing to see this tropical beauty arrive at my door. I’ve really embraced the high necks lately, I think they add quite a chic twist to any look. I’m not overly familiar with Madam Rage but based on this dress and an extensive browse on their website and I can safely say I’m a big fan, everything is really affordable and if this dress is anything to go by, excellent quality too.
I decided to continue on the colourful theme by putting on this coral suede brogues from Hobbs- the perfect between season shoe. I don’t wear brogues or anything other than boots anywhere near enough so it felt a bit strange to be wearing these, I’d forgotten how much I loved them.
I think until the weather warms up a bit I’m going to try layering this dress with a fine knit and some dark tights, part of my feels I should save it for Spring but the print lifts my spirits so much I don’t think I can hang on…
Are there any brands you’ve recently discovered? How would you style up this dress?
That dress is so pretty I love how you’ve styled it xoxo
It is really pretty and delicate and sweet with these shoes!x
Definitely wear it now, don’t wait for the summer, it’s too pretty! For cooler months I’d pop on some black tights, black ankle boots and a short cardy. For the summer I think you’ve nailed it with brightly coloured brogues!
