It’s time to make the most of the summer weather, as arguably it won’t be around for long (and when it is, it’s pretty fleeting here in Manchester!). To make the most of the sun, I donned this outfit at the weekend. This Topshop Denim Mini Dress is a little out of my comfort zone – and to be totally honest I’m not sure it’s earned a permanent place in my SS15 wardrobe yet – but it was perfect for a stroll in the countryside on a lazy weekend.
Not gonna lie, I feel very folksie wearing this outfit in a big field of weeds and overgrown grass… Although hand on heart I can honestly say this was not planned! Some thing are just happy coincidences, right? And as comfortable as this outfit was, things aren’t always as pretty as they look in pictures; I was boiling in this black t-shirt and I’m pretty sure the white plans behind me are poisonous Hogsweed! I didn’t realise until after I got home and was sorting through my photos, at the same time as the Mum patrol on Facebook were sharing numerous news articles about the dangers of Hogsweed touching the skin. Good job I didn’t actually go IN the plants… Although it would have made some good photos!
Anyway, back to the outfit. Midi dress are so in and I can kinda see why – they are a flattering length and are so comfortable. However there’s just something I’m not quite sure about when I wear them. I mean, I’ll wear this one, but I’m not sure if I’ll be buying any more. In fact, this one was kindly gifted to me through the Fashion Chick blogger network* which I am grateful for, as otherwise I’m not sure I would have given myself to style one up! This exact TopShop Denim Midi Dress* is actually now in the sale for just £12, so snap up this bargain while you can!
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I kept it casual yet classic with my accessories, opting for simple black pieces to keep things simple. I really like the way the black compliments the light denim style colouring of the dress – and despite it being summer, black seems to fit just right with the look.

I am in love with those sunglasses! I hope the weather stays nice for you, for a little longer. It seems we have had a very bizarre weather front this year. Far too humid & too much rain!
