Fancy floral days

Floral fancy dress
A week ago the summer sun gave rise to a first outing for one of my latest charity shop finds; my Louche floral dress. I fell in love with the tiny floral print when I saw it on the rail but upon further inspection I found the material to be particularly appealing with it's lining too.

The sleeves are most particular and add to the shape of the dress; it makes my shoulders appear wider and by default my waist looks narrower. The cut and fit is so comfortable, really a high quality piece and one I'm happy to keep in my wardrobe all summer  long.

Summer is not complete without sunglasses, ankle boots and a little bag. I'm so glad things are changing.

Have you found any pieces perfect for summer?

    this is lovely! Do I spy pockets too?
    I have a louche dress (a clothes swap find) with similar sleeves, they are pretty but I find it make sit hard to wear a cardigan over the top - it's bulks out the shoulders way too much! But I am looking forward to wearing it when the sun shines.
    As you know I found some great summer pieces when we went shopping, I have been living in that maxi skirt!

    Joy Louche dresses are always beautiful! It looks really pretty, esp with the hair flowers! I found a gorgeous Emily and Fin dress in the charity shop on Sunday! Wasn't looking but it was one I loved online so it seemed rude not to!
