Printed

I love a good print and the recent bout of sunny weather has seen me ditch the bland and opt for the bold. My experiments with the new camera continue too, I’ve even had Mum involved in taking some photos which doesn’t happen enough- it’s hard to get used to posing around other people no matter how close to them you are. Coupled with a crippling crisis of body confidence and I’m generally happier using my tripod and waiting until I’m alone. Still, Mum did a good job and I’m slowly working my way through to feeling better about myself.

Dress: Primark | Top: C&A (bought in Holland) | Boots c/o Daniel Footwear

I bought this dress last Summer when ASOS were stocking a small range of Primark clothing, I then spent the entire Summer wishing I could wear it as it didn’t fit- the cut out sides gaped in a most unattractive manner. I’m glad I didn’t send it back though as it’s now become one of my layering staples and I’m a huge fan of the tribal inspired prints.

Biker boots are another of my staples and this pair from Daniel Footwear are hands down the nicest I have ever own. You know when you pop a pair of shoes on and you just know there will be no blisters or rubbing? Yeah. The leather of these is so buttery soft and they got so many compliments when I popped in to work to see colleagues. I’m going to be living in these babies until it gets too warm out to do so, and I can see them lasting for years.

I can’t get enough of this sunshine we’ve had lately. It makes a huge difference to my outlook on life. I’m not a Winter person at all and the sooner the weather hots up and I can spend hours outdoors the better! Bring on picnic lunches and wearing top to toe print. What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

  1. These are great photos, well done Mum! It’s amazing how the weather can affect our moods, I’m loving the sunshine! I’m like you, so not a Winter girl xxx

  2. It’s a bit mental, this sun, is’t it?

    I feel a bit weird when Christine takes my photos but we just both laugh at me and my ‘Corinne poses’

  3. You beauty!! I love this dress, you look amazing Laura!

  4. This dress is so cool Laura, good thing you kept it. Argh, isn’t having outfit pictures taken for you just *so* awkward? Even with Chris taking them I feel like an idiot. The things we put ourselves through in the name of blogging! hehe x

    Those colours and that print! Gorgeous.
    Your mum’s photos are great, you look lovely and so happy! x

  6. The colours in the dress are great together – certainly fit for sunny weather. What am I looking forward to with spring? I’d looking forward for it to stop snowing – that seems to be asking a lot of the Mid West weather at the moment though!

    Sunshine is the best – just coming home in daylight has been enough to put a smile on my face this week.

  8. I seriously like those boots. I’ve been after a pair for ages. Not sure how I survived winter without any! Off to their website now : )

  9. This outfit is adorable! I love the dress 🙂 Surely that is what mums are made for? Taking pictures 🙂 xxxx

  10. The dress is v nice and what a good idea to wear that lacy top underneath-I’m nervous of wearing cutouts but that is a cool way to wear them!! Hope you’re ok! X

  11. Oh and I actually like my Mum taking outfit shots for me as she’s always willing and doesn’t think it’s stupid which is what CBC thinks!! X

  12. You look absolutely lovely Laura and I love the print on this dress – look like your garden was nice and sunny for this too, always a bonus. Lovely photos.
