Outfit: Tangerine Topshop Twist

Today I've done as all us Brits do as soon as the sun peeks its head through the clouds & hit the beach! I'm lucky that the nearest beach is only a 15 minute drive from home so we scooted straight over to make the most of the day. Surprisingly though it was really windy on the seafront so some of the photos are a bit windswept & interesting (and me being painfully pale) but you know, you get the jist...

I have to start by saving this is my absolute favourite dress ever! I'm actually surprised I haven't blogged about it before - or at least I don't think I have. I've had it for a few years now & bought it from Topshop for a friends birthday, to wear with those suspender tights when they were all the rage! Shows how long I've had it, right? Not only is this dress a gorgeous tangerine colour, it fits perfectly and its made from a lovely light silky material - perfect to wear with bare legs now the weathers getting a bit nicer! The twist from the top half & bottom half makes the dress really flattering too!
This is also the first outing of my DYO necklace I made as part of NE1's Newcastle Fashion Week (Find my blog here) I love the contrast of the jade green beads together with my tangerine dress & think they work absolutely fab together.

Hope you've all likewise been enjoying the sunshine today!

Thanks for taking a look. Lots of love.
