Races Outfit

So a few weeks ago i went to Chester races with my dad, step mum, brother and sister. I'd been considering wearing my green maxi dress from Wallis (featured here) that i wore to Ladies Day at Aintree but i fancied something different and well.. any excuse for a new outfit!

After a quick trawl around the shops this is what i ended up with..

Maxi Dress - Dorothy Perkins

Clutch Bag - Dorothy Perkins

Watch - Argos

Dolly's - Primark

I eventually found the bulk of my outfit in Dorothy Perkins. I've really become a big fan of their stuff recently. They've got some gorgeous flowing summery pieces like this that will be great for holidays or summer weddings.

I really loved the print of this dress, very summery with the butterflies and a bit of pastel always floats my boat. It's really flattering on the figure too as it sinces in and ties at the waist.. it's also a really nice length for a maxi; i find some can be waaay too long and at 5'4 they absolutely drown me! The bag was a perfect match colour wise, and it's beautifully made with the gold edging finishing it off nicely - it's available in a few other colours and i'm tempted to pick those up too!

I opted for flats as i knew i'd be walking from the train station and on my feet all day so didn't fancy the pain of heels!

I had a fab day in the end and the weather held out beautifully :) has anybody else been to the races this summer?

Outfit Post

Always mean to do these kind of posts but always forget to take the photo's!

I finally remembered the other day but in a rush took a really poor quality mirror shot which i've then had to edit (badly) cause it was so dark. Apologies for the photo, i'll do better next time :)

Cropped Orange Cardi, £10 - Asda

Floral Dress, £7.99 - H&M

Pearl Bracelet (barely visible) - Thomas Sabo

Toy Watch - Mine was from Macy's in New York couldn't tell you now how many dollars!

It was a reaaaallly hot day so i wanted my hair up and out of the way, hence the Amy Winehouse do. This little cotton dress is so comfortable and i've purchased about 4 in the same style and different patterns now from H&M - perfect for summer days or teaming with tights when it's cooler.

The cardi is an old favourite and gives a nice splash of colour.

Pretty simple really! what do you think?
