Throughout the last few weeks of positively sterling weather, I have, for the large part, seemed to have almost entirely overlooked a section of my wardrobe. Comprised almost exclusively of lace dresses at this point, or ‘mini’ dresses, either of which are certainly inappropriate in most instances, my subconscious choice has been to just, not go there. But, when the sun is shining like it has been, eventually there seems no other logical option than quickly throwing on a pale-toned dress, and slipping on some shoes before heading out the door.
I probably haven’t worn this since I was in Paris last year, which in one way shows the turnaround of some of wear for some of my clothing, albeit skewed as it has since been taken in after I finally admitted to myself that it would appeal to me much more if it weren’t a size too big. Perhaps just the push I needed to make more of an effort to get things tailored, instead of settling for a close-to-perfect fit or not at all, when all other factors and details reach the mark. One of a kind, yet the same?
what a pretty dress! I love how you dress down your lace dresses for daytime. I agree re: tailoring, if I could be bothered I could make so many of my clothes more comfortable and wearable. I should just gather them all together and dump them all at the alterationist and feel like I have a whole new wardrobe! x
I really love your lace dress – lace and crochet are weaknesses for me – and especially how you’ve styled it to be just so wearable and chic at the same time. This is the look I’m aiming to work on because I’m a dress addict and if I manage to style some more casually like this, they’d get a whole lot more wear! Thanks for the inspiration!
That dress is just such a gem. Versatile piece really ! And love the statement necklace too, you always have the most glamorous jewelry. Oh boy would I love to steal your wardrobe x

This look is so pretty!!! And oh how I love those kitty flats!
and yes, it’s funny how something being a little off makes you not want to wear it but you never think to get it fixed, ha ha

The detail of your lace dress is just so pretty! Being pretty petite I have to get a lot of things tailored and I know its such a pain sometimes – but it makes me much more likely to wear something knowing it fits properly!
The dress is breathtakingly beautiful! So cute contrasted against your kitty flats too. It’s always nice to find great items hiding in your own wardrobe. Have a nice weekend
