my (british) summer uniform ( & Passion 4 Fashion LinkUp!)

Summer here in the UK can be really unpredictable, its been blazing sunshine one minute then showers the next, chilly in the morning but super warm in the afternoon. All this does make for more of a challenge when getting dressed in the morning. But lately i've perfected my summer uniform forumla and it seems to work really well!
Add one comfy striped dress, a pretty scarf, the quintessential denim jacket, big clutch and easy to wear wedges. There you have an easy summer uniform.
This has been my go-to most mornings lately, i'll substitute in different dresses but the general ensemble is the same.
It just works. When its cool in the morning (or whilst in the supermarket, those refrigerator isles are bloody freezing) the denim jacket is the perfect companion and so is a scarf, plus scarfs scream 'i made an effort dahhling', even if you didn't really, hahaa.
The stripe dress is the kind of dress that never goes out of style and one i always reach for. Effortless chic, I LOVE a great striped tshirt material dress, and the sizing on this one from BlackFive was again spot on (rare from an international company, but these guys have it spot on, i think i mentioned in in my last post with the stripe skirt, an i continue to be very very impressed).
I also find as long as my arms are covered my legs can deal with it, plus it's not particularly cold.
The wedges are another summer essential for me. I'd been after a great pair of tan wedges for a couple of years. I was being particular fussy and knew i didn't want there to be a front platform part, like many of the wedges have these days (they make me look like a giant and i tower over everyone and feel  stupidly big) I wanted an everyday pair and these Sainsbury's ones do the trick perfectly. Supermarkets are really knocking out some great clothes and shoes these days. I can not fault them!









So there we have it, my (British) Summer Uniform.
