Last day of Summer


Hello everyone,
Hope you are all doing well.

I am very happy today, because in about 2 hours the last day of Summer will have come to an end here in Sweden. Autumn is here!

So I am sharing with you, the last of my summer outfits for this year (unless the weather turns warm suddenly).



I wore this lovely blue dress from Lindy Bop to an outing at IKEA, and just as I was rushing to leave two of the buttons popped off the dress. I don't know if the dress was trying to tell me that it was too tight, but I didn't heed the warning. Instead I grabbed two trusty safety pins and pinned together the front of the dress!



The dress is mended now, and I've worn it without the buttons popping off, so I take that as a good sign. It really is a lovely dress, very lightweight and perfect for a hot summer's day.

I got it on sale from Lindy Bop. I've mentioned this before, but it's worth another mention -- Lindy Bop has the best sales. And there is actually one on going right now!


Dress: Lindy Bop (old)
Flats: Asos (here)
Earrings: ModCloth (old)

So that's that, and summer is no more!
To which I say - "Yay!" and "Welcome Autumn".

Much love,

    Very cute dress! Looking pretty! :)

    However, I don't think I share your eagerness for the end of summer! :P

    Beautiful as ever Mona, the fit and colour of that dress are stunning! I'm so ready for autumn too, had enough of these random heatwaves.

    We can tell you are excited about autumn Mona! :P This dress is lovely, I love the colour, it's a rather unusual blue (at least a shade of blue I don't see very often). A few buttons are easily mended, if you didn't say I wouldn't even have noticed it in the photos! :D

      Hi Hope,
      You are very welcome here in my little corner of the internet! Thanks so much for stopping by, and leaving a comment!
      Haha, the buttons just went pop, one after the other.

    Those dang buttons!! I don't think the dress was too tight - so many times I get dresses with fabric covered buttons and they are never sewn down well enough! I often reinforce them before wearing just bc I know they will fall off!! Come on, dress makers! Help us out!

    Anyway, buttons aside, this is adorable! I love snagging things from LindyBop sales! Another good brand like LB is Lady V London and they have amazing sales too!! Check them out!

      Haha! Right! I should take your tip and reinforce the buttons before wearing the dress! Lesson learned!

      Thank you so much beautiful lady. Ooooh, thanks! You always introduce me to the best brands, so I'll definitely look them up! Thanks again!
      Much love

    Good old safety pins! Glad you got your buttons fixed as it's a lovely dress. I love how floaty the gathered skirt looks.

    By the way this blog post popped up opposite my own post on my Bloglovin newsfeed and our poses are mirrored. It looks like we're introducing our dresses to each other! :D

    I don't think for second that the dress is too tight, yes it hugs all the right places but it certainly doesn't look strained. I find that often when buying an item with fabric buttons they tend not be sewn on too well and unravel easily... haha safety pins to the rescue as per usual.
    I'm definitely going to have to do some browsing on Linda Bop because that dress is gorgeous and you look a vision in it!

      Hehe, thanks darling! I just thought maybe the dress was saying "nope" when the buttons fell off.
      I agree about the fabric buttons, and the trusty old safety pins ;)
      Ah yes, do! You'll love it! Thanks so very much!

    Such a wonderful dress to round off summer, I love it! Awww yes, IKEA! I absolutely love that place and the buttons are always popping off when I visit, but in my case it is because I have eaten too many meatballs haha! They are so delicious :D your style is amazing Mona! Hope you're enjoying September so far! xx

    I'm sorry if I've commented twice--my first comment seems to have disappeared so I'm writing a new one. :-)

    Anyway, I am so excited for fall, too! I love all the colors and crisp air and delicious food. And you're really sending off summer with a bang--that dress is divine on you! I love that color, and it looks so perfectly flowy. :-)

    You look just darling, Mona! This dress is so cute! And yay for safety pins, haha. Also, I wanted to let you know, I took your advice and finally watched Roman Holiday - such a great movie! And your outfit post modeled after it was absolute perfection! I thought about it the whole time I was watching it. :)

    Hope you're having a lovely week, Mona!

    So lovely! A great solid coloured button front dress like this is one of the most versatile, handy garments one can own, IMO. Add in a great colour like this into the equation and it's even more of a gem.

    I hope that you're doing well and having a great September, honey.

    Oodles of hugs,
