'We are such stuff that dreams are made of'
A few weeks ago I went on a short holiday to somewhere that
is fast becoming one of my favourite -places: Stratford-Upon-Avon. It’s also
known as the birthplace of Mr William Shakespeare. I am going to show the outfits
I wore each day and some pictures of what I did those days just to jazz this up
a bit so...

Dress: Primark £13
I'm pro wearing an oversized shirt as a dress but I'm even
more pro the actual shirt dress. And this is no exception. I love this! It's an
incredibly comfy and versatile dress which was perfect for day 1 of our holiday
when we were travelling around the properties a lot. The dress has a Bardot
style neckline made from what would have been the collar which I find a really
cutesy touch. Spaghetti straps create a beautiful shape around the collarbone
alongside the 3/4 length sleeves. This dress is perfect for a sunny summer's
day in England. The pattern on this dress is a pretty pastel yellow pinstripe
which I just adore!
Choker: £1 Forever 21
This possibly the best choker I've ever bought in the world.
Fact. It is a thin gold chain with different pastel coloured stars all around
it. It's very cute and just very me!

This little number can be seen with virtually all the outfits
I wear in this post. This is for two reasons, number 1 I needed a jacket on
holiday and number 2 it's just perfection. As we already know pink is my
favourite colour, so we can establish that this jacket ticks the colour box.
However, it does go one step further, it's subtly cropped at the waist creating
a boxy shape. The hem is also distressed and has lots of loose ends making the
jacket quite relaxed. This is an easy peasy, throw on, convenient jacket and I
believe everyone needs a fun coloured denim jacket!
Day 2: The look from head to toe...
Jumpsuit: £9 Next Children's sale.
I am not ashamed to admit that I had been frequently
visiting the children's department just to day dream about this jumpsuit. At
the time however it was too expensive and was merely a nice idea however the
sale started and it fell straight in my basket! This jumpsuit is made from a
very soft jersey making it incredibly comfortable alongside the low slung
crotch. As it is clear from the picture, that day we went shopping. This outfit
saw me comfortably on the train journey but also while trying on other clothes.
Top: £9.99 H&M
You cannot see it in the photo however the top has 'Cute AF'
written on it just above the neckline of the jumpsuit. The top itself sits just
above the hip making it ever so slightly cropped and uber cute and flirty. This
top just screams layering to me with a touch of uniqueness.
Day 3: The look from head to toe...
The dress: £13
This another dress that just steps out of my comfort zone
with a bardot neckline. I rarely wear anything like this as I tend to feel a
little bit exposed. However, with the frill over the bust and long plumbed
sleeves the thought of being exposed doesn't cross my mind. The pattern itself
I really enjoy. It's a fun summery,
floral take on the pinstripe in my mind. Nothing beats a floral summer dress,
it reminds of being little and playing in our Wendy house (ours was called the
fairy cafe and we did a pretty amazing strawberry soup if you ask me...) Sadly
we no longer have the Wendy house but wearing a summer's dress will do me fine!

Day 4: The look from head to toe...
The Top: £12 Newlook Sale
This whole outfit was actually worn in the evening to the
theatre so I wanted a smart casual style as I firmly believe in dressing for
the theatre...any excuse to dress up a bit really... Anyway this top is another
off the shoulder style item (I think that dress gave me the confidence). The
neckline of this top is made by wide section of elasticated gathering which
gives a certain ridgity allowing the neckline to stay put around the shoulders.
Although you can't see them in this photo the sleeves of this top are very soft
and fluttery, falling just above the elbow which I found really flattering.
Overall I think this top is one of the few items that I own in which I feel
very feminine and I quite like that!
The skirt: £7 Newlook Sale
This is possibly the best skirt I've ever owned, it's so
good I own two. Perfection. Firstly the colour is so rich. It's a hot pink but
with a bit more guts to it and it's pink so what's not to like eh? Secondly the
lines of sewing down the centre front and sides create an amazing shape around
the thighs and bum...my bum looks so good in this I can't even lie about...
This skirt goes with anything but I paired it with that top because it
emphasises the rich pink colour in the floral pattern.
However, more importantly this whole outfit made me feel so
confident in myself and that is exactly what clothes should do they should make
you feel good and make you want to go out and show off. And that's what all
these outfits that I wore on holiday did, they made me feel good.
I hope you enjoyed this holiday post, I certainly did...don’t
forget everything is coming up roses.
