Fashion Outfit of The Day

Wearing Gingham in the Rain – OOTD

August 14, 2014

A couple of days ago I ventured into the city with Fay for a day of taking photos and exploring. The weather in London has been a little unpredictable of late. Sun one minute, stormy skies the next. It has been impossible to know whether to go out in a raincoat or a summer dress! My take on unpredictable weather is to dress for the sunshine and if necessary get wet. There is nothing worse than having to carry a coat and umbrella round on a hot day after all.

We mostly stayed around St Paul’s to take lot’s of pictures before stopping for champagne at Madison and take in the incredible view across the city. We then crossed the river and wandered along the Southbank to watch the sunset. I took a lot of photos which I am saving for another post.

I wore a dress from Laura Ashley which I had wanted for absolutely ages, but not managed to buy. I was delighted when I spotted a brand new one on eBay last week and managed to get it for a bargain £28. I love it so much I want it in more colours now! Thanks you to Fay for taking my pictures for me. Excuse my hair, I had been rained on quite a bit by this point!

Standard telephone box shot, I felt like a total tourist doing this! Does anyone still use phone boxes?

    That is such a marvelous dress! I love that LA still produces such classic, feminine garments. Congrats on scoring it for a great deal on eBay – bargains always make wishlist items feel all the more sweet!

    AMAZING first photo!! That dress is wonderful on you too, I had also spied that in Laura A but hadn’t wanted to part with the full price on it. Looks great on you, maybe I’ll have to look on ebay as well! P x
