favouring florals

Dress: Zara
Tights: Primark
Boots c/o Ellos
The second the sun shows it’s face I get a craving for florals. It happens every year and I’ve long given up trying to fight it. This outfit was worn on Friday once I got back from my foot appointment (hello six months of walking on a fracture) for work and then chilling out with the boy (I promise a post about this at some point) although the weather wasn’t quite warm enough to really show it off.
Speaking of florals, I’m totally coveting this dress from new look
I love the two in one effect and summery colours.
This weekend has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Saturday was wonderful, chilled out and full of sunshine. Sunday was hard, but peaceful at the same time. Grief is such an odd thing, coming in ebbs and flows. It’s amazing how much you can miss someone even a year on, my Nan was an amazing woman and I will never, ever forget her.
This week promises to be both busy and fun. I’m only in work Mon-Thurs as Friday is my “birthday day” which work give us. My birthday isn’t until Sunday but I have plans covering Friday through to the Tuesday and I’m really, for the first time in years looking forward to celebrating.
How was your weekend? Anyone brave enough to have done the London Marathon?

  1. The floral print of your Zara dress is lovely. I love the colour of the Primark tights you styled it with. Spring has the same effect on me. My love of floral prints increases when the flowers are blooming outside. That orange and yellow tie front dress from New Look that you have your eye on is a pretty one. I hope you have a wonderful and very Happy Birthday Sunday and a beautiful birthday weekend.
