Denim and Dresses – Perfect for Spring

What I am living in this Spring.

I have been making a concerted effort to ensure that during lockdown, I am still getting up and dressed as I would normally on a work day. The only difference? I have been having a bit more fun doing it.

While Scotland remains predictably unpredictable when it comes to Spring weather, I have not been deterred from pulling out those Spring/Summer dresses that have been shut away in the attic for the past 6 months or so. Instead, almost every dress or skirt has been accompanied with my favourite denim jacket that I got from Fatface in Lyme Regis last August. It’s heavy enough that it adds that extra bit of warmth to shield from the wind and light enough to be bearable on those rarer sunny days.

Here’s a couple of my favourite looks so far:

Hope you enjoyed this quick little post for today.

Stay safe!

Welcome lovely readers!

As I am sure you will so come to realise, I adore dresses. Honestly, my fashion style tends to fluctuate on a regular basis – one day I will be wearing jeans, a stripey top and blazer, the next I will be wearing a tea-length 50s style dress complete with petticoat. As much as I tend to enjoy the practicality that jeans afford, I am usually happiest in a dress.

I love stripey t-shirts almost as much as I love the colour burgundy!

Up until last year, I struggled to find a dress that I truly felt comfortable in – being on the heavier side, I often felt high street shop dress were too short, or not really suited to my body shape – until I happened upon the youtube channel Jessica Out Of The Closet. I adored all of the dresses Jessica was wearing that had that very feminine whimsical vibe, and were finally long enough that I didn’t have to worry about flashing people all of the time. Cue a ridiculously long amount of time spent on a variety of Vintage dress websites. My favourite shop right now is Lindy Bop, although I also have some beautiful pieces from Hell Bunny, Collectif, and Joanie Clothing.

This dress is definitely one of my favourites!

My lovely wife surprised me with the Lindy Bop ‘Bletchley’ Book Print dress for Valentine’s Day this year. I absolutely adore it, and love wearing it to bookish events and/or work. It is so much fun and contains gorgeous detailing on each of the books. The bright turquoise belt adds a lovely waist detail to the dress, and I enjoy the feeling of the fabric. Another huge plus is the length – the dress comes to below my knees so is super comfortable to wear. Oh and before I forget… it has POCKETS!!!
