I LOVE Summery outfits. Summer is absolutely my favourite season for clothing.
This dress, from Sainsbury's supermarket is one of my favourite Summer dresses. I tried it on in store originally 2 Summers ago with my sister. I didn't buy it as I also bought some Lilac dungarees and one item was enough to be buying but then regretted it and spent the next year trying to track one down second hand. It's cotton with a lovely shirred bodice which means it fits really well. I bought this hat in TK Maxx about 18 years ago and I'd not realised they would work together! I wore my Accessorise embroidered espradrilles (also charity-shopped)
Here's what I was wearing the first day I got my hair cut! I bought this T-shirt from Hello Dodo in lockdown from their sample and seconds sale - they have so many funny pun t-shirts. I loved this Gull Power one but they also have one that says "Mean Gulls" on it which makes me giggle and a Christmas jumper which says "Raptor present for ya'" with a raptor with Christmas lights on! Go and have a look for a laugh! The culottes were secondhand from Emily and Fin (eBay) and are so comfortable except for the fact they have an annoying zip that doesn't quite stay up all the time! The sandals are from Lotus but they were secondhand on eBay a few years ago.
I bought this dress with tiny peaches on it from a charity-shop 3 weeks ago- it's from Abercrombie and Fitch and reminded me of a beloved dress from New Look I had in my 20's. It was a no-brainer to pair it with my Lorelai peach earrings plus this Esprit cardigan I bought in Croatia and Rieker lattice flats
For church on Sunday, I wore this Emily and Fin floral dress. It was actually too hot for it as it was too fitted for doing anything active so I changed pretty much straight after church!
The last one in this batch features a charity-shopped handmade skirt (out of some sort of 70's floral fabric) and a F&F orange vest-top plus a Monsoon cobweb cardigan (charity-shopped). Worn with my Toms Huarache sandals (TK Maxx about 10 years ago)
Another pair of Lorelai LQ earrings and a Cath Kidston necklace
The one which was best for the hot weather was the peachy dress!
Which one is your favourite?

The dress at top seems like it would be hot, too, because of the elasticized bodice that fits snugly. I think my favorite of all these cute outfits and garments is the long skirt :-)

The top one, I love a bit of Shirring!
ReplyDeleteI love the peach dress from the first 2 pictures. I have a similar one, on blue and they are so comfortable to wear.
ReplyDeleteThe earrings look stunning too.
I like you in the Emily and Fin blue drsss. Chic and modern and loving your hair that length. Love the Lorelei earrings too.
ReplyDeleteLove all your summer outfits. Re. the culottes zipper that won't stay up - could you use a safety pin to catch the zipper pull up to the waistband?
ReplyDeleteThe hat looks like it was meant to go with the dress in the first outfit! It looks so cute on you and your hair is the perfect length for it. I love hats, but sweat like crazy in our climate when I wear one.
ReplyDeleteI wear a sweat band under my hat, which helps enormously. Love FD xx
DeleteI like the top dress, and the culottes. I've started wearing dresses a bit more, since I discovered some good anti-chub-rub knickers, but I don't wear them too often as I feel a bit tummy conscious in them!! Love FD xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely parade of summer outfits, Kezzie. My absolute favourite is the shirred Sainsbury's dress. I'm glad you were able to track one down second hand, and how serendipitous is that perfect match with the hat! xxx
ReplyDeleteI like all of your outfits, Kezzie! The peach earrings are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the peach dress but you look great in all of them.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great! I also think summer is the best season for outfits - all the possible dresses, and it seems easier to pack, since everything takes up less space. Olivia in the PNW
ReplyDeleteWonderful summer outfits! I love them all. Summer is probably not my favourite season for getting dressed. It can be way too hot here so it's hard to be creative.
ReplyDeleteSummer clothes are the best clothes! I love everything you're wearing but the Sainsburys' dress has to be my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThat Gull teeshirt is hilarious! xxx
