Tipping My Hat to a Floral Mini Dress

08/14/20 | Costco, Fashion Friday, John Lewis, Kate Spade, Summer Style

Straw Hat and Blue Dress in Angel

I have really never been a hat person and for years said that I look horrible in hats.  And do you know what, that is still true.  However that always related to baseball hats – I used to have to wear them in sports growth up and those do not fit my face well but cute fedora ones?  Those I can get on board with.  In fact, I was actually wearing a hat the day Mark proposed and this one is definitely one of my favorites. 

Plus, finding a cute hat helps keep sun off your face and as I am coming up on a big birthday next month this is more and more important every year.   I decided to add this hat as a last piece to this fit and flare style floral mini dress for a warm day in London.

I realize you can not see my necklace too well in these shots but it is from my 2019 Holiday Gift Guide and I liked it so much I bought myself one, a Libra constellation necklace custom made on Etsy!   And for those readers in the UK, this dress is on sale right now at John Lewis and nearly every size is still in stock!

What do you think of this floral mini dress?

    You are so photogenic.

    Really pretty dress and the v down the back was a surprise for me which the from the back shot.

    What is the lip color you are wearing, just the right amount of color for a day look where a bit of color is needed.

    Great value for the dress too, a real find.

    Tip away. What a cute summer dress.

    The ruffles give it that fun and flirty feeling and it looks super light. Perfect for those steamy summer times when you need to look cute but would really rather be wearing your bathing suit.

    A+ on the look.

    You do look good in a hat. Wish I did, really not a look for me and always admire people who can pull it off really well like you.

    Nice touch to the outfit.

    What a cute stylish outfit. I love the dress and the T-Strap Sandals. As for the hat it looks like you are going to watch the Kentucky Derby. Looking forward for a 3 day weekend. Tomorrow is beach day. Got my bikini and sundress ready.
