19.08.2012- What I Wore Today #42

What a lovely weekend! I hope you're managing to enjoy the weather and not getting too hot/sunburnt/flustered! I spent the day yesterday shopping with Sarah before meeting Aisling, Elodie, Lily, Michelle, Sophie and Hannah for a catch up over the most amazing burgers at Fattburger- I'd really recommend popping along! With the weather so uncharacteristically hot, I faced a bit of a dilemma as to what to wear (why is it so impossible to dress for the heat in Britain?!), but luckily a recent purchase came to my rescue:

Dress- Dahlia

Shoes- Topshop

Sunglasses- H&M

Rings- Whistles, Topshop

Nails- Ciaté Paparazzi, OPI Pirouette My Whistle and Topshop Razzmatazz

I spied this dress on the Dahlia website shortly after I got back from my holiday, and it was love at first sight! Not only does it feature the prettiest floral print, but I love the 40s inspired shape and think it's a really versatile piece- perfect for high summer or the chilliest of winters worn with thick tights and a chunky knit. Even better than that, last week it was added to Dahlia's sale, so I snapped it up for less than half price- proving that it pays not to be such an impulse buyer! Styled simply with sunglasses and the comfiest shoes I own, this was perfect for the tropical temperatures yesterday (although I am still wishing I lived nearer the beach!)

How are you finding the hot weather? And have you picked up any bargains recently?
