Since I only started wearing dresses properly about a year ago, this whole world is brand new to me! Recently, though, I’ve been on a dress-buying rampage for my holiday. I figure they’re lighter and easier to pack than most other summery clothes, and I’ve gathered around 10 suitable dresses in my case so far. I’ve also been buying a ridiculous amount of tights…!
There was one dress that’s been hiding from me, though, and that’s the one that I’ll be wearing to my friends wedding in Key West (the entire point of the trip to Florida at the end of the month). Their wedding is pastel themed, and I thought it’d be easyyyy peeeaasssy to find a lovely dress in a pastel shade. I was wrong. I found pastel tops, skirts and playsuits, but not dresses. I scoured the high street for over a month, I even ventured into stores like Monsoon & Next.. the horror! But nada, zip, zilch, nothing, the dress I wanted remained out of my grasp.
But then! JOY! I found the dress. It’s so, so pretty and it arrived today. It’s by Joules and I got it from John Lewis’ website. I ordered it in the safer size, as in, I’m either one size or another, so I ordered the larger size just in case. When I tried it on I could’ve probably gone for the size below, but meh! It leaves me room to eat more diner food in Orlando :)
I’ve also gone for some beige brogues from Kate Kanzier too. I didn’t want to take a pair of heels over there because I wanted something I could wear at other points in the holiday, and heels would kill my feet. I figure the outfit will be perfect for the setting. You’ll see.
