Cornflower blue dress from Fat Face




Hello lovelies!




Yes, you may recall I left a little teaser at the end of my last post about a cornflower blue dress and here it is! This is the Margot daisy patchwork midi in cornflower which is still in the sale, but is going fast (see here). I saw this on Instagram on the very day I was leaving the mainland and it really set my heart a flutter. On getting home I did a search online, but my size was sold out. I rang the local branch in Truro and they kindly offered to hold one for me until I could get in to collect it. A dear friend hot footed it down to the store and popped it in the post. Isn't it lovely?




My summer wardrobe feels complete now with this lightweight frock in such a super colour. It was a really windy corner of the island that Steve and I chose for our shoot, so some of these photos are less than perfect. My belt is askew and the clasp is drifting off-centre. My new hairstyle is being blown all over the show and the dress is behaving like a cling-on in most of the shots. Ho hum.




Side pockets are a bonus feature. The frill above the bust does draw the eye to that area which isn't really my thing, but I can live with it. The dress has elasticated sleeves and waistband, but I thought the addition of a belt was a better finish.




Next time I shall wear my midi length net underskirt with this. 




Rings and belt are all pre-loved.




Sunglasses are Quay Australia and my disc necklace is by M&S.




My white patent Puma's are ideal for wearing on the beach.




And last of all, here's the new haircut (and colour) without the windswept look. It's great to have a healthy mop of hair again. Hurrah!


Thanks for dropping by!

  2. Lovely with the sunnies! Do You get good weather on the island, is there some kind of microclimat?

    1. We do have the Gulf stream sweeping past us, so I expect we benefit from that. Tresco Abbey Gardens on the island are subtropical thanks to the landscaping and location of them.
