Spring Sunshine – Navy and Orange Outfit

Remember I told you I had 3 Summer Dresses on my bedroom door?

Turns out I lied and there are 4. I am obviously badly in need of some sunshine.

On Sunday the sun did come out, and it stayed out ALL DAY. There was still a spring nip in the air that meant the 3 dresses I mentioned last week were just a bit *too* summery, but then I remembered I’d got ANOTHER as yet unworn dress that would be just perfect if teamed with a cardigan (and a coat if you’re outside long, it’s not that warm!).

Boden Checked Sun Dress

I bought this one on a recent TK Maxx spree and it’s actually the twin of this dress that I bought at the end of Summer last year, but in a different print.  Because if you find something that works, buy it in every colour.

It’s a big and bold navy check, that I teamed with an orange picot cardigan and tan accessories.

Spring Dress

Navy and orange is a colour combination that I forget about too often. I actually bought this cardigan at the same time as a navy skirt back in 2011 that I wore together once and then never again.

I like it, it manages to be classic, but still striking at the same time. Maybe I’ll remember and wear it again in another 5 years, you never know.

I think if I wear this dress over the summer it will no doubt require a cardigan anyway. Cardigans are, I think, an essential if you live in the UK. Even on the off chance that the weather is warm enough to wear a Summer dress without one, every shop and restaurant with air conditioning will turn it up so high that your teeth will chatter and your fingers turn blue.

Bamboo Bangles

Navy and Orange

In other news, you should now feel free to ruin Season 6 of the Walking Dead for me, because we finished watching it about 2 hours after these photos were taken.

All I can say is WHAT THE HELL?

Anyway, moving on, I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Look at you, Miss Super Cute Lady! I love the gingham, and I love that you’ve paired the blue with such a cheerful poppy color. You’re definitely saying that summer is on the way, and I’m here for that. Loving the bamboo bangles as well, they’re perfect with this outfit.

    Great outfit – the blue and orange look amazing together! I often wear blue and mustard (or even yellow), as that works really well too. You look really great, and the dress is certainly going on my wishlist 🙂 xxx

    Such a lovely combination! I’ve never thought about wearing navy and orange together but will definitely try since I saw how beautiful this can look.
    Have a wonderful day!

    I love the navy and orange combination. Cardigan are life savers. I wouldn’t be able to wear my summer dresses very much if it weren’t for cardigans! xxx

    Oh yes…only another what…9 months until we find out what happened and who was killed?

    They have ruined my fantasies forever by taking the sexy detective from The Good Wife and turning him into a crazy evil killer . Seriously…NOT COOL.

    Love this look!
