Summer Dresses and Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag

I've only been done with the style challenges for a little while, but already I'm starting to get into a comfortable outfit rut again! I grabbed my Balenciaga day bag the other day and it's been in pretty high rotation since. It fits so much and is so light, it's such a nice bag to use. Wore the bag with the same shoes and a pretty printed dress twice in a row!


Here's what I wore to spend the day with my grandparents:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress (on sale!)
Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus blue and silver bracelet stack and silver charm bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Last day with my grandparents! We went out for lunch by the sea and then had a big family dinner in the evening. Feels like it's been a long time since I last wore this dress, although it really hasn't (last worn a month ago). I had been eager to wear it again and get as much wear as I can out of it in the last of summer, but it didn't match with any of the style challenge prompts I was following. I was just waiting for the challenges to be over so I could wear it again, which is probably why its felt like longer.

It's such a great summer dress, it was light enough for walking along the shoreline in the heat of the day, but dressy enough for dinner afterwards.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, boho printed dress, Asos leather sandals, Balenciaga Tempete Day bag.

Here's what I wore to go to the airport:

Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


I was smiling in the photo, but this wasn't really a happy day. My grandparents had an early flight, so this is what I wore to go see them off at the airport. We spent as much time together as we could, and they stocked up on baby T cuddles, before they had to board their plane.

It's been wonderful spending time with my grandparents, and I'm really going to miss them! It's been nice going out for an entire day sometimes too, instead of just popping out for an hour or two in between baby T's feed times like I usually do.

I went for a printed dress as it was quick and easy, and the same accessories as the day before as that was a quick and easy option too. Got changed shortly after I got home, to stay in for the rest of the day and spend some time trying to do all of the housework that's been neglected while I've been out each day sightseeing! This dress is much too pretty to wear just for doing housework.


Last worn: Willow printed tee dress, Asos sandals (above), Balenciaga day bag (above).
