five minute summer

New Look dress, Superdrug tights, Noe shoes c/o Sarenza.

((we’re still trying to persuade Mae to use the cat flap))

Waking up to bright sunshine yesterday threw me completley and all plans of drab outfits went out of the window…I discovered this dress lurking forgotten in my wardrobe, despite being a fairly recent purchase. I popped it on only to realise it was missing a button on the back- never one to miss an opportunity to wear a pretty dress, yesterday morning saw me hastily sewing a button on before 7am!

Alas, the weather wasn’t to last and by the time I had finished work we were back to pouring rain. It was nice while it lasted though; I love how this year us Brits are celebrating and making the most of every second of that yellow ball in the sky, so rare it seems to be.

Happy Friday folks.
Three weeks until my holiday, the countdown has properly begun!

  2. I do love the ‘make the best of it’ spirit if us Brits, this year particularly.
    Pretty dress, the colour is fab.

  3. The weather is starting to infuriate me!! Love that dress on you & I know the moments of frantic stitching at the crack of dawn. It makes days interesting, that’s for sure.

    I can’t wait . . . counting down until the 29th 😀 xxx

  4. I opted for a dress yesterday too to make the most of the sunshine.. seems to be overcast again today.. my more summer like clothes have hardly left my wardrobe this year! Love the coloured tights and shoes with it 🙂

    I managed to teach my kitten to use the cat flap by propping it open a tiny bit and she learned how to push it open… (the other one just copied the first). Silly cats.

  25. I absolutely adore that photo of your cat! I spent a rare weekend in the sunshine and loved it! Shame I didn’t really pack any summer clothes as it was raining when I left Wales & forecast rain all week! xx
