Styling My Classic Boho Maxi Dress (Again!) in Cornwall

It’s summer, so I guess that means it’s ‘styling my boho maxi dress’ time again…!

As sure as the Earth goes around the Sun, my favourite boho maxi will come out summer after summer. We went on holiday to Cornwall at the beginning of June (I know, I know, it was weeks ago… I’m on blog post catch-up still) and, unlike the current hit-and-miss weather that we’re experiencing in August, the whole of June was simply divine.

It’s making me somewhat wistful to look back at these photos now because we went for a week [to Poughill*, near Bude] and enjoyed a full week of warm temperatures and endless blue skies. In fact when I got home I realised I didn’t wear the light jacket or the sweatshirt I took with me “just in case” once, not even in the evening. How’s that for picking the best week to go on holiday?!

So the boho maxi (similar) did me proud once more with a belt, straw Fedora and soft white leather brogues. Nothing’s new here – it’s all on repeat –  but I’ve found alternatives (above) if anything takes your eye.

I’ve added a few extra photos of the glorious Cornish landscape (and seascape!)… isn’t it so beautiful?

Are you a fan of a fail-safe boho maxi like me? Where is your favourite spot in Cornwall, or where would you LIKE to go? Let me know in the comments box below…

 

Thanks for reading xoxo
