What I Wore: Endless Summer

written by

DRESS: ASOS, HAT: Supre {EXACT MATCH}, BEACH BAG: Seafolly Australia {EXACT MATCH}, WEDGES: Kmart Australia, SUNGLASSES: Borrowed, LIPSTICK: Lime Crime Centrifuchsia {EXACT MATCH}

If you’re a little unsure about the title of the post I advise you to get to iTunes and listen to The Jezebels ASAP. You can thank me later. The song title is pretty fitting for our current season, as Summer has just stuck around. I know it’s early March, but I can’t see any sign of Autumn weather in the near future. Fine by me right now, I’m having too much fun enjoying the sunshine.

I don’t often visit the beach (wahhh) but a few weeks back saw an invite to an event shore side, and I’d been saving this new purple floral print ASOS dress for something a little special. I love the sweetheart neckline, it’s very flattering for those who have been blessed with a larger bust, and the colour pallet is very Sumner appropriate. I don’t own enough purple tones, but guaranteed I’ll stock up for the coming months because I adore the rich, expensive tone.

One thing I have loved this Summer is my trusty Supre sun hat. You may remember it from this shoot, and it’s been everywhere since. Purchased for a Summer music festival I’ve barely taken it off as of late – plus it saved my semi bed head do I was rocking on the day. This poor lass worked till midnight the night before the event and struggled to get up Saturday morning – thank god for a text from a friend. Personal alarm clock much!

How amazing is my new Seafolly beach bag by the way? It was actually a gift on the day but it conveniently matched my outfit, so with me it stayed. I love the vibrant colour and the size is perfect for those beach expeditions where you can’t forget anything. You could fit an army in that bag! Stay put for a while longer please sunshine, I need to get this beauty onto the sand.

What are your beach bag essentials?

    Cute! That bag came in handy, I have already stuffed mine with clothes I’ve been sent for the blog that I now need to get rid of! Haha, I am sure it is meant as a beach tote, but still…. I have to get to the beach before the summer weather goes entirely, but the waves scare me off! Good to see you last weekend. xx Jenelle

    Oh, you look super cute! I love Lime Crime Centrifuchsia too x

    Not really a fan of the beach. I love staying at the beach on holiday and listening to the waves and watching the sunset, but I’m not really a fan of sand and water that moves!

      Thanks doll! Lime Crime is the best. You’re like my partner – the sand/water (shark) combination is a no go zone haha!

    Love your beach outfit and bag combo! The print of that dress is gorgeous on you. I’m a beach fan from way back (can you tell) so am also loving the extended summer!
