Outfit August Day Three

Well, it's day Three of Outfit August - and here's my first outfit! As you can probably guess, it's going to be a whenever I have time month. Although I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that it's going to get less hectic as the days go on.

Outfit August is the brainchild of Leah from Just Me Leah. It's a great way to dig through our wardrobes and see what we have hidden away and just to document what we actually wear every day.

Now I work from home, and although that should in theory give me plenty of time to do lots of photos, I doubt you'll want to see me everyday in my thinking gear as I call it (aka PJs). Or maybe you do...?

Anyway, this is todays outfit. I have a love/hate relationship with this dress. It's a TU dress from Sainsburys and it's featured on the blog before. I don't think it's the most flattering, but boy is it comfy! So for that reason alone, it earns its place in my wardrobe.

Shoes are my old faithful Crocs. They are like slippers, and I'm seriously considering buying them in black. I just can't wear heels now so anything flat is perfect and black will go with anything. Finally the cardie is from Primark. It was much brighter than I realised once I got it home, but I love it anyway.

I added some earrings from Avon. These are an old pair, but Avon is a really good place to look for jewellery. They quite often do quirky pieces that are affordable and they last forever (I'm not an Avon rep - honest!).

Summer evenings maxi dress

Hello there,

One of the best things about summer is eating outside, but it can be a bit chilly in the evenings. I wore this last week to keep legs and shoulders warm.

I realised halfway through the evening that whole outfit is from Indigo at Marks & Spencer. I love this range. I'm lucky enough to live within 5 mins of a huge out of town M&S so I'm always popping in to see what's new (my bank card though is not so happy about this). A lot of the Indigo range has a beachy holiday feel to it and I rarely walk past without finding something I want.

Dress - size 22 (old)
Cardigan - size 22

I love maxi dresses, but at only 5'3, they normally swamp me. This is one of only two I have where I haven't needed to hack a few inches off the bottom. Plus bonus - this has an elasticated waist which actually sits on the waistline and can help raise the hem by a few inches if needed (handy for stairs - trust me).

Thanks for reading and hope you're all enjoying the summer sun.
