You're Changing in the Light

I realise that it is probably a little too early on in the year to have my legs out, but screw it! Plus, I wanted to show how I would wear this dress in a bit more of a formal/going out way. I don't really like dressing up for going out-out, if you know what I mean, preferring to stick to slightly more covered up and daytime things, like dresses - getting my legs out is about as adventurous as I'll go! But throw on a pair of block heels and you're good to go! Anyway, this beauty of a dress is another gem that I've recently snagged from Topshop. Being surrounded by their clothes (and shoes!) every weekend is both a blessing and a curse, trust me.

This dress has been all over Instagram recently -  I know that quite a few people have it and love it as much as I do - but it really is a special little number. As if it's on-trend gingham print, pastel muted tones and little slip underneath didn't have me at hello, it even has a Peter Pan collar thrown in for good measure! As you can probably tell, I'm very much head-over-heels for this Spring's pastel trend, even if it does make me look like a walking, talking ice-cream. But surely that can never be a bad thing...

I want you home, I want you here.

It's finally here, my first outfit post of 2014 (and it's February, i'm ashamed!). I've not been in the mood to post an outfit for a while, what with bad weather, lots of darkness and just not being able to find the time. Well, that was until I stumbled across this dress at work, Topshop have really outdone themselves this time! It's got three of my favourite trends at the moment all rolled into one: tartan, monochrome and of course, the smock. I will forever love a smock, being able to subtly hide the massive amount of food that may have been consumed that day (think yum yums and McDonald's breakfast). 

What did you all do this weekend? We visited the beach, even if the sun did quickly turn into a torrential downpour for a brief while, but there's nothing better than being by the sea when it's freezing cold and windy! 

Now I know that i'm always promising that I'll be a better updater on here, but my goal of 2014 is to really work on my blog. I always forget how much I love it until i'm sitting down to actually write it, and I really do love it. Plus, I love being able to look back to see how things have changed over the months, much better than a diary! And I am not too sure if you can tell, but I've got a new lens, so here is to much better photo's (obviously not better poses though ha!). So you can take my word for it; 2014 will be the year I blog. More. I promise. If not I will eat my hat.
