The Open Road

So apparently I’ve had these photos on my laptop for at least a month and had some how forgotten about them, oops! Back near the start of July Ben and I took a little trip up to his parent’s near Melton Mowbray and made the most of the beautiful country side surroundings to take some outfit snaps- honestly, I do worry about my memory some times as I had clean forgotten we’d done it!

Dress: New Look (available on asos) | Shoes: Primark (this season)

I fell in love with this dress the second I saw it in the Tall section of the New Look website. Since I bought it in June it’s disappeared from their site but is still available from ASOS. I have such a soft spot for frayed denim (I also quite fancy this Missguided number) and it makes for a great casual alternative for jeans at the weekend. Believe it or not this is the tall version of the dress! I dread to think what a regular length would be like, or perhaps I am becoming too modest in my old age?
Primark have come up trumps for comfy footwear this Summer, every pair I’ve bought from there I’ve expected to give me at least a small blister or bit of discomfort but nope, I’ve been living in them! The pair I’m wearing here are from the wide fit range- bravo Primark for recognising that people with flipper feet like shoes too!
My denim collection has grown a lot this year, from the mini skirts to the various dresses I’ve accumulated as the months have progressed…still, it’s a trend that’s never going to die so I can console myself with at least I’ve blown my shopping ban on investments. What can’t you stop buying lately?

  1. This is the tall version? Oh my! Everything should finish mid thigh or lower in my book – but then I am getting so old! Love the dress though, my denim tunic remains on of my all time favourites.

  6. Oooooh! This denim looks super soft and it’s the perfect length! Lovely! ♥

  7. Love the dress, the blue really suits you and the photographs are lovely. Definitely think the length looks perfect on you, I have the opposite problem, everything is always too long on me.

  8. Totally love this, it’s so hard to find nice tall dresses! Awesome sandals too, I’ll need to start having a nosy in Primark 🙂

    These photos are so lovely – that dress looks great on you Laura. I’m also in the same boat when it comes to denim and chambray – in the last six months I’ve bought a pair of jeans, a denim t-shirt and have been loving wearing denim shirts, too. x

  11. ooooh loving the denim dress. I have one in my wardrobe that I ordered from eBay and it came through from China so sadly, it’s just a bit too snug at the moment, despite being an XL. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth keeping at present, I do so love a denim dress and yours looks awesome.
