Here Comes The Sun: Yellow Dresses To Wear Throughout Summer

Outfit: Dress - Custom

June is here and that means Summer has begun, which means sunshine is inevitable. Which is ironic for two reasons; 

1. I'm currently living in a tropical country where sunshine is the norm.

2. I'm currently writing this as rain pours down. 

Nevertheless, it's the sunshine season and this year, the rays that beam are also making their way into our wardrobes. I'm seeing a lot of bright colour, but yellow right now is a true vibe. It's a colour that will instantly bring light into your day and match the mood of season. 

Yellow is the colour of happiness, optimism and enlightenment; it's one of those feel good colours. When it comes to fashion, it's definitely a daring colour for those who stick to neutrals or those who are only just dipping their toe into the technicolour pool, but here me out - it's not that hard to wear. 

I find that you can combine two worlds so easily here. For me, when it comes to sunshine yellow, I love to pair it with nude tone accessories and gold jewellery. There's this beautiful synchronicity that comes with pairing these together that both mellow down the brightness of the yellow, whilst also allowing it to shine. 

For me, when it comes to yellow it's all about the dresses. I just find that yellow dresses are perfect for Summer and they are hassle free. You don't have to think too much about what you're going to wear with it because it's all about the accessories. Plus, dresses are the attire for the season; convince me otherwise. I spend my days in dresses during the Summer or when I'm on holiday, as I know many of us do. 

I feel like I need to make a playlist to go along with the vibe that yellow sets when you wear it. But for now, just play "Sunshine (The Light)" by Fat Joe, DJ Khaled & Amorphous and then wear all the yellow your heart desires to lift your mood and be one with the weather. 

Here's a few sunshine pieces from the high street for your Summer wardrobe:

I hope you're all feeling the Summer sun, or that you'll feel it sometime soon. I'm just watching the sun peak out from behind the clouds and I think I need to match it's energy. 

Hoping you're all staying safe and well! Sending you lots of love,

The Spring 2021 Dress Edit

Dress - Custom, similar linked below

Ahh, Spring. Hello old friend.

 I feel like we haven't had a proper Spring in forever and of course because it's still March 2020 in people's heads. The things we've gone through this year, but I think we're all starting to see some positive progression, God willing. And I know for a fact that my UK lovelies are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with new lockdown eases (I know you are all waiting for June 21st, but don't forget there's a few things just before that too). And with these new changes, plus the season of renewal, it's nice to add a piece or two to your wardrobe. For me, I always love the prospect of a new Spring Summer dress - something floaty for sure, maybe with florals or a delicate print of some kind, but something that definitely says girly. 

I ended up getting lost in the sea of dresses on Free People the other day, which then inspired me to create this post. The dress I'm wearing above has been sitting waiting to be worn and now just seemed like the perfect time to get it out. It's this perfect nude tone blush with balloon sleeves and shift silhouette. I actually found something similar at Free People (the white one, which comes in various colours) and I think it's perfect for the season.

With the sunshine on the way, you want to have Spring dresses that are comfortable and sweet, perfect for spending a day in the garden or even a day date. For me, in the Sri Lankan heat, these dresses are perfect for everyday wear and take no effort. All you need is a pair of sandals and earrings to complete the look. 

I also think I'm going for a more Bohemian vibe for Spring Summer; I think it's fun and a switch from my usual neutral simple style.

Switch Out Your Sweatpants For These 26 Pretty Summer Dresses

Dress - Cotton Collection (similar linked below) / Earrings - old

We've been living in sweats and leggings on the regular for a good few months now. Well at least I know I have and I'm not alone. And it's got to the point where I'm actually genuinely sick of wearing sweatpants and tank tops. Yep, I never thought I'd see the day either. 

As we've moved into Summer now and I'm dreaming of a holiday in the Mediterranean, I thought it's about time to switch up my look to reflect the feeling. The weather is getting warmer across the board, plus circumstances of lockdown are starting to ease up and so we are starting to make changes. It's about time our wardrobes get that change too. 

I've put together all my favourite summer dresses that are not only perfect for days out in the sun but also for being extra whilst lounging around. Click the images to shop now!

                        

Sending you lots of love and hoping you're staying safe!
