Outfit of the day - New Look special!

I've been wondering lately how I ever managed to find the time to blog three or four times per week. Where on earth has the time been going lately? I'm going to attempt to get back to some kind of blogging schedule by posting once a week to begin with. I've got plenty of exciting things to blog about, I'm just struggling to find the time to type it all up! Blogging is a very therapeutic hobby for me so it would definitely be beneficial for me to get back to some kind of regularity when it comes to my blog.

So here goes... here's my first Outfit of the Day post for a while!

Necklace - Tiffany & Co (present from Neil's mum)
Dress - New Look (out of stock)
Shoes - New Look

I wore this outfit two weeks ago when we went for a meal at Villa Napoli for our seven month wedding anniversary meal. Yes that's right, we're celebrating our anniversary monthly for the first year. Why ever not?

This dress is so pretty and fits really well. The navy top half has a crochet lace pattern and the bottom half is floaty and floral. The belt came with the dress and is a lovely addition as it pulls in the dress in all the right places. Although this dress is casual enough to wear on a summer's day with some flip flops, it can also be dressed up easily with a pair of heels and some nice jewellery such as my classy necklace from Tiffany & Co.  

There's a delicate mint green detailing on the dress which meant it was the perfect match for my new shoes. If I do take the unusual risk of wearing heels, they absolutely have to have some kind of supportive strap to prevent me from breaking my ankle/s. The ankle straps on these shoes ensure that they can't possibly fall off my feet but also make them look extra dainty. The toe section ('toe section' always reminds me of Michael McIntyre... anyone else?) is a soft suede material and they're just beautiful. I really love this mint colour and I think I'll be adding several items of the same shade to my summer wardrobe.
