Summer Dressing | Tribal Maxi Dress At The Quay

I love the clash of two opposing cultures in this outfit: a tribal print (makes me think exotic African cultures) and a Panama hat (makes me think Englishmen watching cricket). This gorgeous dress was a purchase from designer resale boutique Grace & Ted in Bath in April and it’s now my go-to for scorching hot days because it needs so little accessorising… it’s a statement all by itself.

The day these were taken was spent lounging on a friend’s boat down on the south coast; gorgeous sunny weather, being out on the sea and great company is my idea of a perfect day… it’s a shame life gets in the way to stop us doing this all the time…!

What would be your perfect day? Most people suggest something during the summer but I’m interested in how everyone’s idea of a perfect day varies 🙂

(BTW if you’re expecting my interview with Gok Wan, it’ll be up on Friday – it’s taken much longer than planned to get it written up. It may even have to be in two parts, it’s all such interesting stuff I don’t want to cut it down too much!)

Shop my look!
