The Knitted Dress

Big cosy jumpers, cardigans and huge scarves that you can wrap around your neck multiple times are one of my favourite things about Winter! I get so excited that I can now layer up and love the fashion that is around this time of year, with the chunky knits and darker colours.

(I had to take this picture from the New Look website as my camera deleted mine, hopefully I'll have one on my Instagram soon!)

Recently when shopping, I stumbled across this little knitted dress from New Look. It's not something I would normally go for as it does have a slightly odd 'A-lineish' shape that I worry would stick to my hips, but I just fell in love with it. I think knitted dresses are so cute and a really nice thing to have in your wardrobe this time of year when you want to dress up a bit but still want to layer up!

I wear this with really thick tights and either flat ankle boots, or heels depending on where I'm going. I always add a scarf as well (I don't think I even go out without a scarf on in the winter) and if I really need an extra layer then I pop on a big chunky cardigan.

I just wish they did this in more colours! Undoubtedly I'd have to buy them all!

Let me know if you see any other knitted dresses you like this year!

Packing for Holiday - A Couple of Outfits

This year, I was very lucky to go away for the week to Gran Canaria with my family. Like most people on holiday, I spent a lot of the time by the pool in my swimming costume and a cover up to go to the bar. However, we did go out a couple of the days and each evening, so I thought I would show you a couple of my favourite outfits I wore this holiday.

This Navy Jumpsuit has quickly became one of the favourite things I have ever worn/bought! It's really comfortable to wear and soft as it's cotton. I wore it with my favourite brown sandals and a little satchel bag then popped on a grey cardigan later in the evening when I got a little chilly.

I've had these high-waisted shorts for probably 3 or 4 years now, and never found any I like as much. I wear them in the winter with tights all the time, but love to pop them on in the summer too with little cami's or vests/t-shirts. This outfit was more of a casual one that I paired with plain black pumps to go to dinner in and a burgundy cardigan for later in the evening.

I've loved this dress for months now and finally splurged on it for my holiday. Luckily, when I popped into Urban Outfitters it was on sale as well, so I took it as that I was meant to have it! Red is my absolute favourite colour and I think the print and cut of this dress is so pretty and flattering and easy to wear. I just paired this with the same bag from before (Also from the Urban Outfitters Sale) and sandals from Next.

This outfit was a little out of my comfort zone, however when I saw this denim 3/4 length playsuit in New Look hung up I had to have it. It's really loose and again is a light linen material so really comfy to wear. I wore this with some bright sandals I brought also from New Look and my brown satchel bag again.

Me and my younger (despite me being quite a lot shorter) brother!

As you may have noticed, this coral jumpsuit is the exact same style as the first navy one (I couldn't help myself and had to get both colours) I just had to when I realised they were the right length for me as I'm not even 5 ft tall. I wore this on my last night of holiday and it looked great with a tan! I popped on my kimono when it got a bit cold (as mentioned in a previous post of mine) and think this will be a staple outfit for summer for me now.

 Do you have any outfits you've been loving this summer? If so, i'd love to hear about them in the comments!

Until next week!

 Love Hope xxxx
