Yellow and Turquoise Outfit


Yellow and turquoise (or aquamarine) are such a pretty summer colour combination don't you think? I think i recently saw these colours together on Pintrest and thought they worked tremendously well together. They feel summery like the beach and the sea, they are two colours that were made for each other. The black added in wasn't what i was originally going to go with, i was thinking more white or cream vest top and nude shoes, but after the blazer arrived and had black feature zips i thought i would bring it in with the vest top and down to the shoes.
Isn't the skirt a beauty? This was Donna's choice from F&F for #frockswapuk. When i first saw it doing its rounds with the girls i thought it was pretty but not something i would choose. Skirts and me are sometimes not friends. They can sit funny across my waist and add bulk where i do not need any (more) adding. 
But...
The skirt is lovely, a great length and the waistline is simple (adding no bulk), it ran a little big on me so i may buy it (its on sale for £10!!) a size down and treasure it. 
What do you think, does it have remix potential ladies, should i add it to my rotation?

Perfect Polkadot Dress

Sometimes a polkadot dress is just the perfect mood lifter. This beauty is Debbie's from f&f for our little #frockswapuk. So far Debbie and Erica have styled it and now me, and each of us have fallen hopelessly in love with it.
This dress is the best twirling floaty feel good dress i have worn in a long time. Hubs loved it and was gutted i had to forward it on to Donna. But i can't wait to see how she also styles it and if she loves it as much as the rest of the frock swappers.
I was surprised by how this dress could be dressed up or down. I thought this outfit with the coral and heels would be perfect for a summer date or even a causal wedding. Then in summer, some gorgeous gold sandals would look beautiful too.. It's dress love people! Plus when Neo (my son) saw me he said;
"Mummy you look like Elsa" I mean it's nothing like Elsa from Frozen but i think in 3 year old talk that means "wow mummy you look pretty in that dress" haha! bless him!!
