Hi everyone and happy weekend! I hope you brought your sunglasses because this outfit was bright even by my standards ;)

I am dressed almost head-to-toe in ASOS (damn you, online fashion shopping giant). When I bought the polka dot shirt in their sale I didn't think about what to wear it with, but pairing it with my floral skinnies made for a lovely riot of print and colour. Up to that day we'd had a few rather glorious days of sunshine, so that's why I broke out the super brights; however, as the day went on it started to rain... so typical!

* How I love you, glorious British summer *

  1. Asos is a great place to shop, and there's no shipping charges! Not even to Denmark! I just bought a yellow leather bag there, and I've been looking at "your" watch many times.

    I love your bright outfit, just right for overcast skies. The shirt is lovely with the rounded collar, which I see everywhere these days. I'm sure you'll wear it a lot.

  2. I love the outfit on you. It is so you. Very dare devilish. A bit too much for me, but I am different.
    The shoes drew my attention the mist. I immediately wanted them.
