Dilemma: H&M midi dress...

I bought this dress when I was last in Worcester from good old H&M. I love the colour and  length and it has proven to be a godsend for work but I'm just not sure how to style it without looking like someone's (frumpy) mother....

Dress: H&M, top [worn underneath]:  Gap, loafers: Office
In real life the skirt is perfectly swooshy and hangs nicely but I'm just not sure it is flattering me in the way a wrap dress should. I wanted it to be an easy throw-on outfit but these pictures have made me sure that I need to style it differently...


I love these shoes but I think they may have been too clunky for the dress, although I need the extra height due to where the skirt hits me on the leg. 


At least I can take some consolation in the fact that my top underneath matches perfectly! 


Outtake of the day: falling over on camera is never a good look!

Crazed face: model's own
How would you have styled it? Would you have worn different shoes?

Escapism...

Whatever your religious beliefs (or not) you cannot deny the beauty of churches and cathedrals. After a busy few weeks, rather than seeking solace in Costa, Mark and I had a wander around Worcester Cathedral. We both had to do projects about it for school but it was the first time I really appreciated the beauty of it all. 






















The quiet was just what I needed and it gave me space (and time) to gather my thoughts. It was an unusual respite from the toils of daily life but a welcome one and I actually found it quite inspiring. 

Where do you go for peace and quiet? Do you have any unusual inspirations?
