Outfit : Neon Orange

This is a definite summer dress as it is so much brighter that is appears in the pictures in real life, my mum described it as 'mouth watering'. I get so many comments about needing sunglasses to look at me etc, you know - the unfunny fashion comments. It is from COS and I bought it a while back in the sale. The fabric is lovely and stretchy, however because it is so heavy without a belt the whole dress just sort of hangs like a sack. Without the belt it is quite unflattering - unless of course if you put some sort of jacket or jumper over it.

I think this will take me through to autumn as it is quite long without the belt so if I pop a knitted jumper on top it can easily be worn in the cooler weather.

I absolutely love COS pieces and although I don’t own that much it is somewhere I am always examining for the latest pieces. I love the European style, simple yet stylish. Everything is also quite classic so wont really age or date as the seasons pass. I tend to buy the striped tees, plain tops and knitted pieces which is why nothing much appears in my outfit posts. One key thing I would say is the sales are always so so good which almost puts me off buying the items full price as most things do go into the sale.
