The Sunday Post: Rainy Day Dresses



Many times have I expressed my love of autumn but this year I've also had minor bouts of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - not that I've been diagnosed with this disorder but I do have pangs of what can only be described as 'meh' and 'bleurgh' days due to the gloomy weather.

I normally love cosying up indoors whilst rain beats against the window but I really want to get out and about without getting drenched. In order to brighten my mood I opted for wearing this cobalt blue floral print collar dress* from Motel Rocks. I instantly felt lighter and chirpier and love the detailing with the collar and lace cuffs, and the shape is super flattering. I wore this dress to visit my Granddad in hospital today and hopefully it perked him up too! Now, I'm looking forward to a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings and some homemade lemon drizzle cake. Whose jealous? I would be.

Next week should be a hectic one with lot's of events and halloween makeup to be tested and a trip to H.O. HQ to visit my lovely Suzie B, so hopefully I'll pull myself out of this dull rutt I've been experiencing. Hope you all have had a lovely weekend and go gorge yourselves on Sunday treats, that's what I'll be doing for the remainder of the weekend...
