The weather the past week or so is how I hope it stays for the most of June, gradually getting warmer and warmer so we can have a proper holiday season! Last year was beautiful, I remember sitting out, soaking up the rays and actually feeling like there was no need to go abroad just to feel like we had had some semblance of a summer!
I am also off to America in October, so although I am getting clothing that will see me through a UK summer, I want things that will be travel friendly too. Autumn in the US is still going to be humid and summer dresses and jumpsuits are the perfect option!
I chose the following outfits from Very and love that they are a mix of high street names. The fact that it saves me having to leave the house and trawl around town looking in all the different stores is a god send. I can sit at home (preferably in the sun!) and browse online at clothing from hundreds of different retailers all under one roof – Very!
The order process was super easy and delivery pretty much next day, the only item that arrived in 2 days was the bag but that was well worth the wait!
Geo Floral Print Smock Dress – Monsoon
Now, I have to admit this is my most favourite maxi dress ever! First up its Monsoon, what’s not to love about everything they create. I may be biased but this is my go to store and holy grail when it comes to giving myself a treat! The pattern itself lends perfectly to warm summer days and brings a tropical feel with the bright colours and shapes.
The side ties create a beautiful line under the bust and bring up the front of the dress slightly. The material is thick and perfect for warmer days but would still rock with a denim jacket and trainers for day time. I wore this to meet a friend for lunch and got a few compliments about how summery I looked as we strolled along the sea front! RRP: £80.00
Scarf Print Halter Midaxi Dress – Monsoon
One for the capsule collection. Seeing you through annual family holidays and warm summer garden parties.
The halter neckline and tiered skirt give such a flattering fit and although I am wearing no bra with this, the way the bodice sits gives enough support. Very impressed as I think most halter dresses require a strapless bra which I hate wearing.
It comes with a completely detachable sash which can be worn around the waist or get creative, use it as a hair tie/band to match the dress! £75.00
Black Textured V Neck Jumpsuit – New Look
This is one of those jumpsuits that you will not want to take off. You may end up purchasing it in every colour available, it really is that comfortable!
I have worn this dog walking, to the beach, out for lunch with friends…everywhere! 100% cotton means it is perfect after each wash too, a quick cycle, out on the line and its good to go. Available in Khaki. RRP: £29.99
Floral Print Jumpsuit – AX Paris
I adore this floral print jumpsuit, the colours, the fit, everything! I do have an apron tummy after having 6 children so tend to go for drop waist clothing. If I sized up the chest area would be way too baggy so I simply added some control underwear to tighten up in the places I needed.
The jumpsuit hangs beautifully and has flattering frill sleeves. The suit is cut to mid length but being 5ft 1 I find it perfect and can pass it off as full length. It would look great with either heeled shoes for a night out, or trainers to dress down during the day. RRP: £42.00
Daytona Crossbody Bag – Dune
Your everyday bag collection wouldn’t be complete without the Daytona Grab Bag. Crafted from recycled materials, the trims have been polished with metal hardware for a refined off duty look.
I will be doing a ‘What’s in my bag?’ post soon as I have literally transferred everything over and haven’t stopped using this one since I got it! RRP: £75.00
Overall I couldn’t be happier with what I chose and I am off to have another look as I need some brown sandals to go with my new outfits (and to match my bag!)
Which is your favourite look?
