Do you have a favourite summer dress in your wardrobe which you can always rely on for a hot summers day? This vintage 50s dress is just that for me! It has such a perfect vibrant summer floral print, with a simple shape, lots of swing and to top it off it's made from cotton. I heart wearing this dress, another keeper from The Attic People vintage :)
My mum came to visit last week and these photos were taken by Ross up the Kings Road one of my mums old drinking haunt's in the 70s! It was a beautiful summers day with the sun shining, live jazz music playing, cold beers all round and casual shop window browsing. My flat pumps were perfect for all the walking.
We also went to my dear friend Neil's birthday party saturday and contemplated (for hours) going to see Prince at Hop Farm festival on Sunday; we couldn't go in the end, but we're kicking ourselves now after expected raving reviews from our friends!

You really do find the most perfect vintage pieces! I love the way you've mixed patterns here, and that tapestry bag is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI do have a go-to summer dress! It's a simple short-sleeve dress from the 50's printed with little medieval instruments (like mandolins). It's kind of silly, but I absolutely adore it and feel very "me" when I put it on, if that makes sense. :)
this is such a lovely dress! i can see why it's your default summer piece.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit so much! Makes me wish it was summer here at our place all over again. :) Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. Following you dears. xx

I love sundresses, but I'm pretty schizophrenic about "favourites," so not sure the perfect one exists for me. Yours is lovely though!
ReplyDeletewow what a beautiful floral dress! I'm glad you had such a nice time with your Mom too!
