A dress that makes you feel super glamourous but can also accommodate a food baby is a holiday essential. When this orange one shoulder maxi dress popped up in my Vinted feed I knew it would be perfect for taking to Madeira. I wore it on our last night there when we went out for a meal at a Greek restaurant. We’ve been there a few times before – in fact we went twice during this holiday! It’s fantastic for both vegans and meat eaters, which is quite a rarity. I knew I’d be eating a lot so definitely didn’t want to wear anything tight or clingy.
A one shoulder dress is great for showing some skin without feeling too exposed. You don’t really need much in the way of accessories with a dress like this – just jewellery and a bag. I added a gold statement cuff bracelet that I bought from Zara while on holiday, plus gold shell earrings and a turquoise and gold ring. The gold cross body bag and Strive snake print sandals are holiday heroes as they go with everything.
I don’t think I’ll get another opportunity to wear my summer dresses this year as the weather is turning autumnal already. Also, on Friday I’m having surgery on my foot to fix the bunion and a “curly” fourth toe. I’ll have to wear an orthopedic boot for six weeks, so I’ll probably be slobbing around the house in PJs or trackies. Somehow, I’ve managed to shoot all my photos in advance so I won’t have to worry about that. By the time I get that boot off it’ll be proper boot season! I’ll put some updates on my Instagram stories. See you on the other side!
