fashion in the countryside
Hands up, I admit it. There's been a little shopping spree lately. This dress is a recent charity shop find which isn't a particularly 'me' dress; yet the floral pattern was one my eye was drawn to. Looking at these photographs now it rather looks like a pretty melange of raspberries and blueberries smattered in a symphony.

A belt is virtually a necessity when a dress has belt loops (and unfortunately this one does) which is a bit of a shame as I like how it hangs on it's own. Lovely to find a white dress which isn't sheer for a change.  The neckline meets very much with my satisfaction, as does the hem. A dress with room to manoeuvre inside is fine by me.

 I was queried recently on precisely what ankle boots could be worn with. The answer, dear friends, is nigh on everything. Dresses, yes, most certainly.

The unusual gathering to the neck is a pleasant variation to the norm.

Another new favourite for the wardrobe!

  3. What you COULD try with the belt loops, if you prefer them to be free, is to get some simple cream ribbon (or in a colour from the dress) and either tie a ribbon loosely around the waist band OR just have to pieces of ribbons and tie them in little bows on each side just posting each piece through the waistband and tying them in a bow around it so you'll have two gentle ribbons hanging down.

  5. Hi Sophie long time no speak. Sorry I have not been blogging much but sort of got into a blogging mire and lost my way a bit. I do love your dress you are looking so pretty. http://thebrunettedaintydressdiaries.blogspot.co.uk/ x
