Let The Sunshine In


Well, Summer is here and I couldn't think of a more appropriate dress to blog about, but alas, I can take zero credit for this wonderful charity shop find.

This beaut was found by Hanna, but thankfully (for me) she didn't keep it and instead, asked if I would like it. The pictures she sent me didn't do the dress justice, nor seeing it neatly folded in a bag; what did it for me was putting it on. I love how the bright vibrant yellow looks against my darker skin tone - they really compliment each other and I fell in love with it. I wore this for the first time to an event, and with a simple cardigan, leggings, flats and edgy bag, I was good to go:
60s Inspired Dress: (via charity shop)
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Leggings: South (via Very)
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins^
Belt: Dorothy Perkins^
Bag: Blog Swap
Vintage Inspired Sunglasses: Spitalfields Market
A girl has to check her nails y'know ;)

What was even better was discovering (again, through Hanna) that this gorgeous 60s inspired dress was originally £124.90! This didn't even cost me £20 so you only imagine how utterly smug I feel every time I wear it. I love the skater style and the navy blue panels along the bottom.

The perfect sunshine dress!

Oh, and I've (finally) created a Facebook page for the blog! You can check it out here :)

 'til next time.


Love and hugs,

    This definitely is the perfect sunshine dress, and you look beautifully fierce in it. That first picture is gem! It's so wonderful to get bargains like that as well. They sadly don't come around often enough!

Success

In the blogger world, success is often in reference to money or exposure. Often these two things go hand-in-hand, in that the more exposure you get the more you are in a position to ask to be paid for your work/ name/ face, etc. Blogging has become a business for many and an aspiration to even more, but are we being realistic?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where said…
