Summer Wedding Style

We have two big Summer weddings to attend in the next couple of months so I've been thinking hard about what to wear. A few years of either being pregnant or breastfeeding has left me relying on my 'mum uniform' way too much so I'm relishing the chance to buy a lovely new dress so Ian and I can enjoy some child-free time, celebrating with friends.

I've been doing some searching online prior to a shopping trip with friends so I know exactly which shops I want to visit, that should leave more time for coffee and cake.

I'm loving this gorgeous Tobago print shift dress from Coast at Debenhams. I've been a fan of Coast for so many years and I know I can always rely on their clothes to make me look and feel great. I think the bold print on this dress will make it perfect for a Summer wedding.

When you're wearing a close fitting dress like this you need to get the right underwear in place and I've been looking at Skimmies, which are brand new to the UK from Jockey. They promise to feel like a slip with the comfort of shorts, perfect to help with your shift dress silhouette. The non restrictive material makes them perfect for any occasion, from a day at the office to a summer garden party which means I'll be comfortable wearing them under my 'mum uniform' too.


I think I'm going to go for a classic neutral for shoes and bag. I've been a fan of Hotter shoes for a couple of years ago and they have the perfect pair to match. Weddings can be tough on the feet so I always prefer a low heel, a great option when you're on your feet for most of the day. I've spotted some pretty T-bar shoes with a bag that should go very well. The bag has a handle but I'll probably use it as a clutch.
