Bag: Pepa Loves |
This beautiful Boden dress turned up a few weeks ago and has been hanging around willing me to wear it ever since. But then the weather got all warm and stuff and I didn't think it was quite the thing. I had visions of leafy outsidey-ness for this dress, as
Boden makes me think of the out of doors and exploring. Not that I was really
exploring this garden, but still.

So, what can I say about the Amy Dress other than I absolutely adore it? The colours are beautiful blues and sea greens on a pale grey background, which I think just work so perfectly together. It's sleeves are the perfect length, which is praise indeed coming from me, who doesn't often wear dresses with sleeves! The skirt is such a fabulous full, Fifties style that it makes you want to twirl.
I wore it with my Irregular Choice robot heels, which are almost the same blue and have tiny red robots printed on them, so I decided to add my favourite red heart brooch to the dress to match them. Whilst on the heart theme, I figured it was the perfect opportunity for my new Pepa Loves clutch to have it's first outing.

I know I'm going to wear this dress a LOT this coming season. I've already added it to my virtual wardrobe app and have been trying it out with mustard cardigans and all of my coats. I think it's safe to say that you'll be seeing a lot more of it. And that's only
partly to do with the fact that it's one of my best twirling dresses...
I am loving that dress so much! x
ReplyDeleteI was so nicely surprised by it's lovely quality!
DeleteI was drawn to this dress when I first saw it. I'm a dan if the sleeve length too.
ReplyDeleteThese are some great shots of you Char, you look really pretty, relaxed and happy.
I really love the sleeve length and have been trying to replicate it on my recent makes. Thank you, it was quite funny to have a willing photographer for a change as M refuses to take photos, ever!
DeleteThis is very lovely! I must admit to not having been convinced by it in the promo shots but you look truly gorgeous in it, and these photos are very lovely. GOOD WORK, BUDDY!
ReplyDeleteI do think it can be hard to tell from the photos sometimes, it was a LOT nicer than I'd expected when it arrived, I must admit!
DeleteThat dress is so beautiful on you and the material looks like great quality, and the colours are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your swishing photos, so fun!
