It actually feels like spring today; the sun is shining and the temperature is in the mid teens. Of course, it might not last more than a few days, so I’m making the most of it. I’m also starting to think about what to pack for my summer holiday to Cape Verde. One thing I’m sure of is this dress will be coming with me!
For sun holidays, dresses are my go to items. I don’t have time to faff about with pairing tops and bottoms (unless they’re cords). When I’ve had a day at the pool or beach, I just want to shower and go for dinner. (And we all know how men don’t like to wait around for us ladies when they’re hungry!)
What could be easier than slipping on a dress and a few pieces of jewellery? It’s a one and done outfit. This navy and white dress has many plus points: the fabric is soft and cooling, the elasticated waist is both flattering and comfortable (and makes it easy to slip on), oh, and it has pockets, which I wasn’t expecting! Bonus! And more thing to love is it doesn’t crease too much – I didn’t iron the dress, this is how it looks straight out of the packet.
The design is fit and design is spot on. For reference, I ordered my usual size 10 and it’s perfect. I think a lot of ladies will appreciate the flared sleeves which cover the tops of the arms but are still very airy and cooling. It’s also available in black and sage green.

Thank you Kathrine!
What a pretty dress! It looks great on you.
Thank you Amy!
I agree this is the perfect holiday dress! I love the bold navy and white print and the border detail. It looks great with white accessories and sunny’s for summer. For the first day of spring, our weather is disappointingly chilly and very wind. Can’t wait for the change. Hope you have a good week and thanks for hosting the link up.
Thanks Di! I hope the weather improves for you soon!
That is the perfect vacation dress! I am going back to Puglia again this summer (this time with friends) and am already mentally shopping for it đŸ˜‰
