Wearing this dress makes even a horrible, rainy day like today feel happy and sunny and ever so cheerful.

When it comes to feeling positive, the simplest of things can turn my frown upside down. A glass of OJ in the morning, for example. Or discovering three unwatched episodes Project Runway on my planner. Getting unidentified packages in the post, a hug from the Mr and trying out a new breakfast cereal all rate highly on the happiness scale. These small, seemingly insignificant things that make up my everyday are the things that really matter – and most of the time, I don’t even notice.

What makes you happy on a less-than-sunshiny day? A new pair of shoes? Fabulously applied mascara? Or something altogether less shallow, like the sound of singalong birds, or freshly mown grass? I’d love to know!

Cutest outfit ever ♥

I went to the beach today in the pouring rain. I think the rain makes the beach more beautiful than the sunshine.

Gorgeous outfit, it’s perfect on you. That dress is such lovely colouring, I’m a sucker for florals and love wearing them on miserable days.

Love, Amy Marie.

I love the floral dress paired with the flat brogues! The thing that makes me happpiest on a rainy day is coming in and swapping my wet clothes for my PJs, sitting in the warm and watching the rain out the window 🙂 Or sheltering in Starbucks with a soya latte and Grazia! x

This outfit is so cute. I love it. I need a wider belt to copy your layering tip about rolling the top under it. I tried it yesterday but it looked all wrong.
You are certainly getting your money’s worth out of that pink flower, and who could blame you it’s perfect.

I love this look Jen, it’s possibly my favourite outfit on you!

What cheers me up on a rainy day? Reading blogs from people who live in sunnier climates!

A big cup of hot chocolate, a croissant (oh dear, it’s a all about food for me…) or seeing you in this lovely outfit. Honestly, before I even started reading I thought ‘This is the perfect outfit for a dreary day like today!’

and hmm, talking to someone who is polite and nice on the phone at work. Or the barista paying me a compliment in the coffee shop- that always makes me happy! x

That corsage is utterly delightful – i just love the colour its lush!

I love laying in bed, pulling the curtains open and hearing the sound of birds. Plus actually seeing a slightly blue sky on a morning knowing that Spring is around a corner is helping me get out of bed a lot at the moment.

Don’t you look adorable, Jen?

My day put a smile on my face, a trip to a new town to trawl the charity shops with my bestest friend and a bag of goodies to bring home, too!

That dress looks so lovely on you 🙂
A glass of ice cold milk or OJ in the morning and getting a new purchase through the post and wearing it that same day make me very happy 🙂

Hot chocolate always helps! And cuddling with a purring kitty.

Your outfit is so cute and perfect for Spring!

Thanks for the compliments on the red chair, but I have to admit it’s not mine. It’s in the common area in my building… LOL

it seems to rain non-stop where i live but i think music or a shopping spree would definately lift my spirits.

Lovely outfit, love the summer side to it, played down with the brown. Very nice!

Things that make me happy, ooh among a few, the dogs falling off the couch whilst asleep, new shoes, or the best strawberry milkshake that I get back home.

This is a very happy and positive outfit, and the corsage totally completes it! Pretty!

It is indeed the little things that bring happiness… for me it’s all about discovering creme eggs that have yet to be consumed, as well as finding that oh-so-perfect lipgloss that decided to go missing for the best part of two months!
