Country life


Hello you beautiful person,
I hope you are doing well.



This dress makes me think of country life, of vast wheat fields that are begging to be frolicked in, of the sun softly burning your skin and the scent in the air that is unmistakably 'summer'.

Instead I settled for a huge and lush tree as my backdrop whilst out playing Pokémon Go. It wasn't too bad either.



This dress is one of my favourites from Miss Patina. I adore the sweet collar and the soft pale pink is wonderful against the vivid colours of summer. It is also one comfortable and breezy dress to be worn when the weather is just too hot.


Dress: Miss Patina (here)
Hat: ModCloth (here)
Flats: Daisy Street via Asos (old)


I was thrilled when I found that the lace around my new hat matches the dress exactly. This hat keeps my dark head of hair cool in the warmth of this season. And the dainty roses add the right touch of femininity to the look.



Summer is coming to a sharp end here. In fact I could almost claim that the seasons have changed and my favourite time of year has begun. But I have lots more summer outfits I want to share with you, so I am going to pretend that it is still summer!



Have a beautiful and sunny day.
Much love,
Mona

    Hello Mona! Finally after such a long time I'm catching up with my favourite blogs. This outfit is beautiful, I really like Miss Patina. I often end up looking at all the pretty things they sell. The hat is so adorable on you. - It really gives it a country feel. I hope you're having a good weekend.

    It's like that hat and dress were made for each other! And you seriously look like a character out of an updated Jane Austen novel :-)

    Ooohh, honey, this look is so enchantingly sweet and romantic. It channels the 1920s, the 60s, and plenty of other eras, and looks as lovely as lovely could be on you.

    Oodles of hugs,
    ♥ Jessica

    The outfit and of course its wearer are the prettiest! It's a subtle blend of several of the decades.. yet still has a strong Jane Austen vibe to it! When it comes to summer, I think we've just got the ball rolling now in Manchester! Hope there's enough time for you to squeeze in a couple more summer-pokemon trips! Have a splendid week darling!

      Oh Sumeyye, you darling darling lady. I think it's got a bit of Jane Austen to it too!
      Oh really, wow. And it's come to an end here... I sort of miss autumn, so I'm okay with summer ending. Thanks, you too beautiful!
