ASOS dress, Primark cardigan, Primark tee, M&S tights, Primark shoes, handmade corsage, Topshop ring, DP belt
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!
Oh that dress is so gorgeous! Love the print, and the big rosette just makes the whole outfit! I like your list of little happy things, I know what you mean about them making a day so much nicer! x
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. Vicki xx
I love the floral with the cardi and that big pink flower it makes a lovely stylish accessory and I love the brogues from Primark, I’ll have to check in there for some.
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.
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 🙂
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!
I love the dress! The flower sets it off so well 🙂 Hows your saving plan coming along? You defo dont seem like you need any more clothes eh missy :p Always love your outfits! A cup of tea and sitting in bed watching old movies always makes me happy. I love getting away from the city too. Wish I could do it more often 🙁 xx
Ps. thank you for clearing up my thoughts over edward, thats so random! haha it fair did make me chuckle 🙂 it is indeed lady luck, I think they were stopping doing the personalised brooches at the end of jan so Im glad I snapped one up on time xx

a sparkly pair of shoes cheered me up today (well, kind of)..
i love that dress, was tempted to wear it this morning too! xx
Oh this outfit is adorable I love it !
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.
xoxo
I’d be smiling too in that dress. A new dress makes me smile ever time!
Gorgeous outfit and I love the corsage.

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 think this is one of my favourite outfits of yours. I love it x
Lovely dress! Ummm bright clothes and a good pair of heels always cheer me up 🙂

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!
I love the floral with the cardi and that big pink flower it makes a lovely stylish accessory and I love the brogues from Primark, I’ll have to check in there for some.

This outfit is way too adorable, I love everything about it. I wish there was a Primark here!
& I think hanging out with my boyfriend/friends, shopping and/or eating good food makes me happy on a not so great day.

Love the outfit, It’s very pretty but the shoes and belt stop it being overly girly. Very chic xx

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!

You look amazing today Jen. Everything about the outfit is just perfect and so pretty and springlike 🙂
Unexpected kindnesses made me happy today.
I love that dress, its so pretty. My dogs wagging tails never fail to make me smile 🙂 xxx

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.
too bad i don’t have enough money to go shopping everytime it rains. sigh. oh, well. hahahah. 🙂
so agree with the fabulously applied mascara! that’s a happy day for me! I love this dress, just looking at the pictures makes me happy!!
