Oh hello there spring! Welcome to the UK – please make yourself comfortable! Ahh, another day in sunny London. How nice is it to see the sun shining and the days stretching? Although it’s fairly crisp, so tights are still a necessity. Though to be honest, I always opt for tights even if it is warmer (anybody else the same?), but I have vowed to get my (very pale!) pins out more often!
While I know that gingham has got connotations of primary school uniform (not necessarily a bad thing – happiest days of our lives and all that!), I see this dress as a bit of a nod to the fifties – the print, the cut, how it’s fitted at the top and flowing freely below. Teamed with a leather jacket, my signature hat, some trusty opaques and a pair of classic black shoes (okay, maybe more school-girl than I thought…), it was an ideal ensemble for a day exploring the capital. Although it was quite windy and I had a few, uhm, ‘moments’ (think Marilyn Monroe from ‘The Seven Year Itch’, only decidedly less glamorous…!). x
