The best outfit I have ever worn?

This may be one of the best outfits that I have ever featured on this blog, it features all of my favourite things (including stripes and a splash of red) and I just felt super swooshy in it! I love the combination of red and navy together, it always feels very chic. Please excuse my smug face in these pictures too, that is just the look of love you can see! I do look at bit like a French stereotype in these pictures, all I need is a moody looking Monsieur and a baguette and I will be set... ;) As a dress lover, I don't tend to wear separates very often but I've been trying to step outside of my comfort zone recently and it seems to be working. Any day that you spend bouncing along happily is certainly a good outfit day!

I know I keep raving about my hair but I really love it at this length as it is so much easier to manage. The natural curl in my hair starts a little bit further down so I am left with waves instead which are much easier to style! I do need to think about getting some new glasses though, a lot of my pairs look much too heavy on my face now, any recommendations for where to get some snazzy frames? I have been swayed by MAC's charms recently but this Max Factor lipstick will always be my go to red, it is just so vibrant, especially when your skin is as pasty pale as mine! 


It has been a while since I have worn this striped Jaeger dress as it is a bit short after a washing machine mishap- I always seem to shrink clothes in the wash despite following the care instructions and it is massively annoying :( It makes the perfect top though, especially with that natty little bow at the back...


This skirt was the one that I picked up in the Warehouse sale (£5! I have been very lucky with their sale recently!) before going on holiday and it is one of the favourite things in my wardrobe. The super high waist is uber flattering and is the skirt falls at the perfect length for me. I can't wear anything too short or long so just above the knee is the ideal- thank you Warehouse! I love these shoes so much that I have them in both grey and navy. The wedge is super comfy and the bow is super fun too, plus they match perfectly with the top- how could I not love them?!

Ah I love this look! The bow on your dress is just perfectly placed to team with a bonus skirt. I love it when you put an outfit together that makes you feel super confident - and this one is awesome (:

That skirt is fantastic! I love skirts like this with deep waistbands, they're so flattering. What a bargain!

I think it's definitely up there with the best outfits - so very chic!!
I always am in awe of people who are all "dress worn as a top!" as I have no idea how you do it- I;ve tried in the past and just ended up looking like the MIchelin Man.

Love this look - I wore something similar (which included a cat-themed hat) and it's one of those colour/pattern combinations that always buts a smile on my face. I think one of my recent favourites has got to be the slouchy, sports luxe outfit I posted about a few weeks ago. x
