Wow this weather is lovely!!!
Now Mother Nature can you make it like this everyday as my clothes are not waterproof?
(Rhetorical question but worth asking.)
Today I popped in to town with my Mum for a few hours. I will say hunting for a child’s watch is the hardest thing to do especially when it's a boys watch you want (I did fall in love with a Hello Kitty one); I feel sorry for kids who want to wear watches especially if they're like me who are magpies in disguise and run towards the most sparkly watch they can find. In the end the hunt did pay off and it's a nice watch for a communion present (sadly no sparkles). My main intention in town was to pick up a new make up/everything bag and Boi-ing (yes Benefit make up again - I can't help it). I found a nice little studded stitched cream make up bag in Primark and a pearl - esque collar for £4 (bargain alert!!), a cosmic print sleeveless top (in love) and a fake tan mitt ready for the full time hot weather. I also picked up some really good jewellery from Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins and of course Boi-ing.
To the outfit...
I love maxi dresses! I think they were actually invented for me.
Ok maybe not but thanks to my long legs maxi dresses suit me (thank you Dad). I only have a handful of maxi dresses (black, green, blue floral, black floral and grey marl) but I don't have a block colour one that will go with everything (the green one is halter). So while I was having a goosey gander on the New Look website I stumbled upon this dress and I was hooked, it's actually a lighter blue then it looks in the photo (bad camera) and it has a draw string at the waist. It was only £16.99 which I think is great value for a piece like this and with all the details (the draw string waist, pocket on the left breast and a deep round neck on the front and at the back). Pretty much I'm in love! You can team this dress anyway you want but I did it simply with a denim jacket, sandals and of course an outfit isn't complete without draping it in jewellery; as naturally I did.
I'm popping out again tomorrow and Saturday so I'm looking forward to my Friday and Sunday at home.
Can I have a nap now?
Maybe not...
