summer?



I know from Twitter that I wasn't the only one mourning the cold temperatures yesterday. This was the first of THREE outfits I had on trying to stay warm whilst not looking like I was dressed for Autumn. I was horribly over-ambitious with this one but it's still August, which means Summer...right? Clearly not. I am bitterly disappointed with the frankly shit weather we have had this year. Anyone want to emigrate with me?

(Matalan dress, Pretty Polly tights, Yull shoes).

Back at work today after an extra long weekend, a three day week almost makes up for everything else.

How are you dressing right now? Is it time to admit defeat with Summer clothes? I've not even had chance to wear some of my purchases!

P.S. Giveaway open until Sunday!

I actually got my winter coat out yesterday. Tights are a good reason to be positive about the cooler weather. I could definitely emigrate with you though as I love the sunshine.

The Style Box said...

Those tights are excellent! :)
I'm definitely getting my snuggly jumpers out this weekend!
I'm quite looking forward to winter though! I'm a sucker for Christmas! :)

I love a nice floral dress with heels! Yeah the weather has been awful, I've given up trying to change it by dressing summery when the weather is clearly october-like. Time to wear our autumn purchases I guess! xxx

Kim said...

The long weekend was cold in London, I had a coat for this first time this year!

Ilove the colours in this look! :D

Jesss said...

I love your shoes!
I've given up Summer as a bad job, spent yesterday wearing a big jumper over my dress and WOOLLY TIGHTS. So far today I'm wearing a hoodie over my PJs, and my duvet... I'm definitely up for emigration!

I'd emigrate for sure!
Yesterday was so cold I had to sit on my hands to stop me flicking the central heating on! Bloody rediculous weather. I think Ive given up on summer and my chunky boots and tights are creeping back in. Though I need to stock up on cardis...

I've given up on summer completely and am wearing a scarf at my desk at work. Rubbish! I've also been browsing online looking for some winter slippers. What a granny!

You really, really suit blue.
I'm blinking freezing.

Tessies Hearts said...

It's this inbetweeny state that I don't like, when it comes to full on autumn and winter and you can wear woolly hats and gorgeous coats and chunky cardigans - this is when I get excited!

P.s. Thanks for entering my giveaway :-) good luck

Xx

Caroline said...

Alice said...

I love those shoes with that dress xxx

Rachael said...

love the tights!

Natasha said...

I will happily emigrate with you Laura! I have to agree, the weather has been shit this year. Here's hoping next year's summer will be better, and you look gorgeous in that dress :) xxx

Alex said...

Oh I've totally given up. Today I wore tights, a maxi skirt and a big woolly jumper. I'll blog it at some point - I was warm and it was lovely!

Sophie - Country girl said...

i went for jeans and a jumper, the jumper was only just warm enough though.
Love how your dress, tights and shoes all work so well together x

Hazel said...

I don't know whether I am coming or going when I get dressed in the morning at the moment! I'm wearing a wool poncho today and the sun is beaming!
That is such a pretty outfit, you look fab.
Such a shame you're not getting to wear new purchases - I have to, as soon as I walk in the door, they're out of the bag and on... for a while at least.

This week I've been really lucky! It was gorgeously warm in Hay on Wye (Wales, where we went on holiday)for 3 of the days so I've worn summer stuff. Sometimes, I have just grinned and borne it and worn summer stuff with tights and cardies.
We drove past Bristol on our way there and it made me think of you!
