Happy Friday Ladies!
Oh its been a wet and windy week here again in Wales.. nothing new there then. My sister managed to grab these photos on Tuesday for me on a quick dry spell between hail and downpours of torrential rain. We’d been for our weekly coffee and i had donned a day dress for the occasion. I love our coffee dates, i always leave feeling so happy after spending time my lovely sister.
I’ve been loving this combination of dressing lately as its quick, easy and effective, which is of course, my favourite way to dress, especially when the dress has pockets. I’m pretty much in my element if my dress is a good one like this one which is currently only £9! The pairing with biker boots (which are years old and i’ve nearly sold on multiple times but always hold back.. good job really as i love them again this year!) is a great way to make dresses less pretty and more accessible for day wear. It kind of casuals them down, if you know what i mean. You could pair this with some super high pretty heels and it would instantly look more dressy, but my life requires casual and i love how a dress can lend itself to either preference.
I last wore the dress here and love wearing it both ways. They have another dress in the same style but different print that i’m totally tempted to buy as i love how comfy and easy they are to wear.
Are you a day dress lover like me?

All Welcome
Oh that is such a beautiful dress! I love the purple against the black too, layers up nicely for a rainy day. I was just looking at a similar dress in Target this morning, I think I need to go back and take a closer look! It didn’t have buttons though 🙁
Thank you for the link up!
Hope that you are having a good week 🙂 It’s Australia day today, so a public holiday which is nice 🙂

A dress is an easy one piece no brainer! This looks fab on you Rachel. I feel your pain regarding the weather. Awful here in London too xx
I love this look, Rachel and I wear dresses like this all the time. Your hair and makeup looks beautiful too! Much love from North Wales xx
Yes, anything biker brings a fancy dress into day to day mode. Love this look and I must check out that bargain. Know what you mean about the weather, and the post I’ve linked today is about our challenges! Happy weekend, hugs x
Great look! I love mixing pretty dresses with boots and jackets! xx

I think dresses and biker boots always look nice together because they’re so different and complement eachother at the same time.
I love dresses for day but have a hard time finding dresses that fit. This style would be perfect for me! I love it!

I do love my dresses, too, Rachel! This one is so pretty and those biker boots are everything! I love the contrast of a pretty dress with edgier boots and jacket. So good. Have a wonderful weekend.

I absolutely love this look! The biker jacket looks great with that dress.
In a word, yes! I love a day dress too. I have way more dresses than trousers – I love the ease of them and yet still feel feminine when I wear one. Winner.
I’m loving your dress, and how the biker jacket and boots give it a little edge. Such a cute daytime look!

I love the contrast of your pretty dress with the moto jacket and biker boots—this reminds me, I’ve been looking for a pair like that for ages!

I snapped up this dress in the Next sale after seeing it on you….but it looked awful on me! The gathered dropped waist hit me at my widest point, and made me look the size of a house. Gutted. You look great in it, though.
Love your look! Floral print dress with leather jacket is a great combo.

Really pretty dress Rachel! I love dresses with boots and a biker jacket. I’m trying to wean myself off jeans by wearing jumper dresses and boots – it’s got to be comfortable and warm!

I love your dress and jacket combo! I wish I wore more dresses in the winter, but I get too cold!
