Simple Dresses for Summer

These are the last two of my November outfits, farewelling spring. Just two simple dress outfits. I feel my dressing with baby is a lot lazier than usual. Less accessories, less time thinking of what to wear, and more reaching for the simple yet lovely pieces like these pretty dresses.


Here's what I wore to visit a friend:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Dress: Asos grey skater dress (on sale!)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red


Nice and simple outfit. Last time I wore this dress I added a belt and I wasn't too keen on it, so I went without a belt this time. Popped out to visit a friend with baby T. I try to schedule most things so that he's had a feed at home and is either napping or due for a nap when we are out somewhere, makes it a little easier as I'm less likely to have a cranky baby. Babies are unpredictable though, and he didn't fall asleep in the car like I expected him too. We walked around a little bit, and rocked the stroller back and forth until he finally fell asleep.

Added a scarf to the dress as it was a little cooler with the recent rain. Not sure how much more longer I'll be able to wear my scarves for as summer is definitely here now, but I'm trying to take advantage of the cooler days to wear them as much as possible. They are a helpful extra layer to have with a messy baby.


Last worn: skull scarf, grey skater dress, red suede flats.

Here's what I wore to go visit Santa:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress (on sale!)
Belt: Asos skinny pale pink belt
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH


Took the two boys (Cooper and baby T) to go visit Santa! I knew we would be in a rush to get out the door on time, so I picked another simple outfit - blue dress and pink accessories. I like the combination of blue and pink together. We managed to get to the appointment on time, although I did forget my camera so took a quick outfit photo with my phone instead. Didn't want to waste the chance to get a bit of a different background for my OOTD picture ;)

It was much easier picking what I was going to wear than picking baby T's outfit. Being his first Christmas we have gone a little overboard buying him Christmas outfits....as a result I've spent much more time than any sane person probably would drawing up lists of what Christmas events we are going to and what outfits would be best for him to wear to each! Cooper was a lot simpler. Despite having a little collection of cute Christmas antlers to wear, meeting Santa is scary enough for him that we don't add to it by dressing him up any more. As much as I would love to! He actually did really well with Santa this year, not as scared as previous years. We've already turned our family photo into this year's Christmas cards!


Last worn: Jeanswest printed dress, pink belt, studded Balenciaga sandals.
