Dotty For Polka Dots - New Look Curve

 

I have a few easy go to wear feel good dresses, but this red polka dot New Look number is probably the first one I grab every time. It's not especially fancy, but there is something so classical about the shape that it can be dressed up and down with ease. Plus I feel like a ladybug every time I put it on, and that always gives me a tiny burst of serotonin.

Last Days Of Summer

 

It seems ridiculous writing this blog post as we are now smack bang in the middle of October, but the weather still has some warmth and it still seems to be a case of light layers rather than heavy coats. I've become more and more of a fan of roll neck jumpers under summer dresses, and can definitely see myself doing that with both these summer styles. It just helps to make my wardrobe smaller, more concise and much more versatile all year round.

With the easing of lockdowns in parts of Britain this past spring, I started to hear a surprising amount of talk about visiting casinos. It seems that at least in my circles, people saw this as a fun way to celebrate “returning to the world,” so to speak; casinos are one-stop entertainment venues for dining, drinking, gaming, and of course some of the in-person socialising we all spent 18 months largely missing.

So Hi There

 

So to let you know how far behind I am with writing blog posts, these photos were taken some time in September 2020. It's not that I lost interest in writing about fashion, but more that with everything going on in the world, it just felt incredibly frivolous. Between Covid, moving across cities (twice!) and trying to keep my head above water in all senses just like everyone else this last year, I guess this blog was the last thing on my mind. I kept posting on Instagram, but it's nice to have a place to come back to with some more longer form writing.
