Now if only I had taken these pictures post holiday with my tan. Damn. Before I went away on holiday I started thinking about my holiday outfits and dreaming about my summer wardrobe coming out to play again. I don’t really plan outfits per se, more throw it all together and lucky dip each item, but I did pick out some of my fave dresses to come on hol with me, this was one of them.
This dress is a rather new addition to my wardrobe and a fab item I recently got from Lavish Alice. I absolutely love the lace and beaded detailing on the dress, it makes it a little more special and gives it a bit of a glam edge , and the white colour is perfect for summer and great for contrasting against a summer tan (I know this must seem a wild dream in the UK right now for most people). BUT, now I do have a tan (I promise i’ll prove it too with some holiday / post holiday outfits) this dress is perfect for showing it off :)
. Lavish Alice Cream Dress £40 c/o . Topshop Leather Jacket . Anthroplogie Fedora . Zara Heels .
. Urban Outfitters Socks .
On holiday (or in the summer) the dress looks fab styled with little sandals, a floppy summer fedora (or curly hair pinned up with a pretty flower) and a cute colourful satchel. Dresses like this are always a real fave of mine as they are easily styled for winter or summer just by adjusting the accessories. Given the weather back here in the UK though, I’d suggest a cosy knitted cardigan, thick tights and a pair of suede ankle boots if you’re looking for a day time look.

I’m also really keen to show you all my holiday snaps asap, but with work and a tonn of events in my diary this week, I think they’ll be up over the easter weekend. Are you interested in seeing holiday outfits and some pics from my trip?
Let me know what you think of this dress and how I’ve styled it here, how would you wear this when spring arrives?

I adore this dress Mel, I love the mix of structure and pretty lace detailing. I’d love to see some holiday outfit snaps too, I’m off on my hols in June so I’d love to get some outfit inspiration.

I am so in love with your boots! Not usually an animal print fan but they work so well with your outfit.
