Springtime OOTD

We all know that dressing for spring in the U.K. can be rather tricky. You want to whack out all the summery clothes, but you can’t go out without a jacket, tights, an umbrella. So when we sotonbloggers got together to celebrate Jess’s 21st birthday a few weeks ago, I had to wrack my brains for an appropriate outfit. Something cute and as summery as I could get, but still weather appropriate.

I loved this patterned dress from H&M last summer, and I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to wear it. And Afternoon Tea with my blogging girls seemed like the perfect opportunity. Usually I wear this with sandals, but to keep warm in the good old British weather, I had to pair the dress with black tights and my trusty brown ankle boots this time. A jacket at this time of year is always a necessity, so I chose my denim jacket from New Look. This is a relatively new purchase, an addition to my wardrobe that I knew would get a lot of use. And so far, it really has been a welcome addition. It’s been worn a lot!

I’m pretty sure I’m going to wear this outfit on plenty more occasions, it’s girly, but comfortable – what more could you want?
