This is one of the last summer outfits I wore during our really mild early autumn. Wearing sandals at the end of September - what a treat!
Of course, there was the inevitable chill when the sun hid, but I have learned over the years to pack leggings & a vest in my huge bag so I am never caught out during those seasonal changes. Like a girl Scout I am always prepared for fluctuating temperatures, carting around stuff I can take off or put on!

You probably know by now that I love a music festival, and any other summer outdoor event. I haven't booked my usual 5 day camping festival this year at Latitude, but I have been to a couple of day long festivals and, because we haven't had a real hot summer yet, what to wear has proved even more difficult than normal…

Up-cycling is the name of my game! I find amazing pieces at vintage fairs, charity shops, clothes swaps and second hand shops. The dress I am wearing above is Pucci and I haggled it down to £90. That dress would have cost me many hundreds of pounds, possibly over a thousand, to buy retail and I really do feel like a million dollars wearing it to a special event…
I bought this dress from Boden at least three years ago, but with a bit of tarting up I am in love with it again and think the whole outfit has a distinct retro look to it. Here are my top tips for making old look like new. Hope you like…
