Summer is the season for our sweet hot style to truly flourish. The occasion to paint your toes and get your legs did. A time when were not not supposed to show any skin! (because dying of over heating is not an option). And at thirty three and not being able to do my twice a week running (sprained my ankle, but can go for brisk walks so this is probably an excuse) or being too lazy to drag my yoga mat out, i've secretly been dreading this over exposing the Skin season. I know I'm totally confusing, as one minute I'm talking about us women empowering each other to be body confident and the next speaking of hiding my skin......but I guess we are all human. So not feeling as toned as I like and ageing making my body drop a little (that shi* does actually happen. Ahh!). This sweet Topshop piece I found in Soho, New York came at exactly the right time.

Cut to perfection, beautifully designed with a deep old school button down V scooping neckline. And a ultra soft salmon pink sultry cotton fabric, once worn I immediately felt body confident. Gingham is So timeless and with the right chequered design like this vintage 60's inspired piece, it can never ever go out of fashion. Crazy how one can think because you're slim, you don't get days when nothing fits your body. This pretty frock will skim your body nicely and hopefully make you feel body fabulous inside and out this long hot summer :-) X
