I spent a long time lusting after a jersey maxi dress, and what seemed like an eternity searching for one that met my needs AND budget. As ever it was New Look that came up trumps with this one pictured below, priced at £15…I also took advantage of a 20% off voucher making it a very affordable £12.
I’ve had it about a month now, hanging in my wardrobe waiting for the weather to improve. With yesterday promised as the warmest day so far I decided it was time and teamed it with a nude lace vest and my grey jersey blazer.
I love the floaty feeling you get from wearing a long dress, and the fact it’s jersey means it’s comfortable enough to want to live in.
Totally a summer essential in my eyes!
Are you having a good weekend so far? The weather has taken a turn for the worse today; grey skies and rain which is just no good! Thankfully it is set to be lovely again from tomorrow which is just as well as I have a busy week full of appointments and my birthday on Wednesday.
What have you got planned?
Don’t forget you have until Thursday for my giveaway and this week will also bring more outfit posts and an eco-friendly review.

Oh my, it’s just beautiful! I love the soft grey colour, the way it fits you, it’s lovely! And just imagine in how many ways you can accessorize it… Necklaces, belts, bangles, cropped jackets… Wow, I think I need one myself!
Ohhh, love your blazer! They don’t seem to be paired with maxi dresses v often, and I don’t know why, your combination looks awesome!
Oh I love that grey maxi. Might have to buy that. x
I had a fabulous weekend but now it means that I am incredibly tired, still worth it though 😀
That dress looks so great on you and the kind of thing you’ll really enjoy wearing. I fancy getting myself a maxi dress this year.

that is absolutely gorgeous. You just convinced me I need a maxi dress too.
Ooh love the maxi and love it in grey (and with the lace vest peeking thru). I saw two friends wearing something similar last summer in NY, in Southampton.. I’ve posted it somewhere.
Having a lovely weekend, Laura, hope you are, too! Oh: are you on facebook? Have we friended each other? Jill Carin Adams. If you’d like, just started a polka dot club:

I wish I was tall enough to pull off a maxi dress!
You look lovely in this and I love the colour 🙂
I’ve had a good weekend decorating and I’m shopping today =)
I love your maxi dress… you look so lovely in that ensemble. xoxo

i absolutely love this maxi dress on you, and it looks so comfy. i would live in jersey if i could, and i’m not talkin’ about the city! i will surely make a romper for you. i put a sample of the one i’m going to sell up on my blog, and i’m also working on some different patterns. just tell me what color!!

That’s such a nice maxidress, I am really loving the new jersey maxidresses that are around at the moment. I am still hunting for the perfect three quarter sleeved one.
I really want a jersey maxi dress too! Must look out for this one in New Look 🙂
Gorgeous maxi dress!
Maxi dress is always fab! Great colour, I heart grey!
Its lovely! Looks extra comfy too 🙂 Wishing you birthday greetings in advance in case I get busy again during the week xo Cuddles from Patsy too!
I love your blazer.
LOVE!
Ahhh, another sickeningly gorgeous dress! I so nearly bought a grey jersey maxi last week but didn’t and have been thinking about it ever since, this has just compounded my misery! lol!

This is such a great colour and I love how you teamed it with the lace nude vest tres chic and it works perfectly with the blazer fabulous xoxo
Oh yes, I love the floaty feeling when you wear maxi dresses too! You look fab:)
xx
it looks beautiful on u ^^
You look gorgeous as always, and thanks for the kind words. I’m nothing special, but I do love drawing. I have a friend who is out of this world though when it comes to art! xxx
I absolutely love your dress! And what a bargain too! Well done!!
I saw this dress and thought of you, also one in H&M too. I love maxi dresses but sadly they look awful on me being 5ft and the shape i am. You look beautiful though. This week should be fun, i’m going to the midwife woooo and also having a day out with my boyf, hopefully the sun will shine for us xx
Love the maxi dress! I love them, they seem so comfortable. I’ve bought a long stipey bube tube style dress this weekend which I think will be the closest I can get to wearing a maxi dress asI’m so short! Still not sure if I can pull it off so have kept the reciept in a safe place incase I have to take it back! Great bargain though!
You look amazing in this dress! love the colour and the drape and cut! i really want this dress now! weather here hasnt turned out too well and we are having bbq soon! maybe under an umbrella?!
vicki xo
so you stole the sun then- caught red handed! although you do make more of it than i so i guess i forgive you 😉
love you always

yes oh yes!! jersey maxi dresses are just the comfiest! 🙂
So pretty! I really like the color on you. It looks both trendy and comfy. Perfect combo.
Happy Sunday to you, Daisy;-)
I love this wonderfully flowing dress. xx

The dress looks lovely on you!!

Great maxi. Really suits you and is a good length considering how tall you are.

such a perfect outfit! i love it. i wish i was tall enough to wear maxi dresses, i absolutely love the flowy effect… but even if i found a maxi that didn’t drag on the ground, i’d still look like i’m wearing a too-big nightgown. you’re lucky you can rock the maxi!
pretty dress *-*
pretty dress

cute maxi xxxx
That maxi dress makes you look like a Greek Goddess, Laura. I love the way it sweeps out around your feet – so glamorous!! 🙂
Love it with the jacket!
Only a handful of people can pull off casual maxi dresses really well and I think you’re one of them!
You look simply stunning, it works well because you’re tall. Wish I could pull this off…
Hey Daisy 🙂
Sharp dress!! The colour is nice on you too 🙂 Plans for the week? I just watched movies; (was going to watch) Amelia, but didn’t. So instead it’s been Morbit and The Lovely Bones.
Have a fab Sunday 🙂
This dress looks stunning on you with your figure and so perfect for Spring/Summer!
You really look lovely !

Long skirt looks great on you and the blazer is chic!!
Love it with the blazer…is there anything you can’t wear?
Love the maxi on you! Especially with the blazer and those heels. Fab!
The weekend here is all rainy, wet and cold! Toronto is having some weird hot and cold weather weeks! You look lovely in that gray, its so soft.
I love the maxi dress + blazer combo. One of the other commenters mentioned it’s not something you see often, and I agree it’s not, but it looks fab!
We’ve had grey skies and rain most of the weekend, so I’ve been mostly inside just catching up on work.
I love Maxi dresses and this one looks fab doll.
I am off until wednesday 🙂 and bf is off for 2 days so we are going to make the most of sunny London.
Can’t wait til you come visit one day

I love the feeling of wearing a long dress too. I love your grey dress, it would look great with a belt too.
Im having a giveaway if you would like to stop by.

Absolutely stunning! You look so relaxed and casual in this, what a perfect piece for you. I’m still determined to find one that fits well enough to make me look an actual shape rather than square!
Wow you look so elegant in the dress! I love your shoes as well!
I love your maxi dress:)
I saw this in black yesterday and wondered how it’d look on someone. It looks absolutly stunning! Good buy! I also took advantage of newlook’s 20% off (see bottom of kate nash post on my blog, I’ve added two pictures of my recent buys)

I absolutely love the maxi dress with a blazer! I thought at first that the lace was part of the dress, it looks awesome.
also, I have been doing my research and finding wonderful candy that I am assured is not available in the UK! You can expect a sweet treat soon 🙂
i LOVE long dresses. you never have to worry about it blowing up in the wind!
What a great dress! It’s fits you perfectly!
Great post! Love your blog!

i LOVE your photos! you should be a model.
are you in lookbook, chictopia or something like that?
XOXO
Love the dress.
Love the blazer! I like maxi dresses but everytime I wear them I get way too hot and uncomfortable! I guess they are much better for spring days instead of really hot summer days! Oh well, lesson learned!
xo
You look great with almost any outfit =) Looks nicer without the blazer from my point of view.
