In this heat, the only thing I want to wear is a cotton sundress. No jewellery, no heels, no belt – nothing that could cause a potential breakdown on a packed commuter bus that has the heating on full blast (WHY).
So, simple sundress it is. Luckily I have an abundance of those in my wardrobe, so the only tricky bit is choosing a favourite…
Dress, Gap | Ring, Primark | Sandals, c/o Sarenza (similar here) | Watch, c/o Daniel Wellington | Sunglasses, Orla Kiely for Boots Opticians
Actually, that bit was pretty simple too. I bought this dress in the Gap sale a few days ago – £24.99 down from £40. It’s a beautiful printed cotton – heavy enough that you don’t need a petticoat to cover your modesty (aka your stripy pants) but still light and airy for these strangely sunny days. I love the bright striped print and cute string belt – it’s a real throw-on-and-go piece, no accessories needed. So picking it out this morning was a no-brainer.
It’s quickly become my Favourite Summer Dress (no mean feat when you own at least eleventy billion) and I’ll wear it as long as this heatwave continues – so another week, then. Although I booked my honeymoon this week and always find paying for a foreign holiday guarantees fantastic weather in the UK. YOU’RE WELCOME.
Hello from Travis, who clearly has zero f*cks to give.
I love your kitty!

This dress looks great on you 🙂 and I love the little appearance the cat made ^^
Great dress choice – and it’s not just the buses pumping out heat – so are the trains (which is funny because they can’t seem to manage that in winter… hmm anyway I digress)
Love the dress and sandals combo and, of course, Travis. 😀

Cute as a button. The sandals are fab too.
Love this dress! So simple x
I was looking at this in Gap the other day – it’s lovely and looks perfect for the current weather. I thought I had a lot of summer dresses but since I’ve been wearing them constantly for the last couple of weeks I could probably justify purchasing a few more (although that will guarantee rain, right?). x
I’ve just come across your blog, amazing stuff! That dress looks like it would be really flattering for most shapes as well!
