OOTD: A Nautical (Rope) Twist

First of all, I know, I actually have my legs out in a post! All I've been wearing since the summer crept out of nowhere is dresses, skirts and shorts - it's been too hot to worry about how white my legs are! 

I absolutely love this cream and navy dress; I wore it out to an early summer's evening meal with some friends. I think it's a nice compromise between casual and dressy; I wore it with sandals but it would look great with a pair of tan or gold wedges. The rope belt with the gold cuffs gives it a fab nautical twist (I love the nautical trend!) and gives the dress that extra oomph it would be missing otherwise.

I really enjoyed doing this OOTD post, as at the beginning of the year I made a resolution to do more fashion and lifestyle posts, which I've not been too good at. So if you would like to see more, please let me know!

    1. Thanks Jenny! I practised a few poses in front of the mirror first and then I would say just try to relax, I get really anxious about being in photos on my own!xx
