Eva Trends cotton & lace dress - #chicandstylish #linkup

Hello and welcome to the blog.
What's happening in your world?
Still enjoying some warm weather here in the UK, honestly I don't know what to wear from one day to the next!  Yesterday I opted for white three quarter jeans and a sleeveless top, but felt slightly out of place because everyone had jumpers and dark jeans on, yuck!  Today opting for my stripy wide leg ankle swingers from H & M (recently reduced to £12 & they actually look great) and a tee shirt with my denim jacket, but I felt slightly chilly - please mother nature make up your mind!

Last week was such a busy one, with an even busier weekend, so this week it's been nice to slow down slightly, catch my thoughts & do a bit of day-dreaming.  I'm dreaming about my next holiday - we've booked to go back to Abu Dhabi with the same 6 friends and I literally can not wait!!! In my mind I'm perusing what dresses to take with me, along with everything else I might need, swimsuit, day dresses, something practical and respectable for days out & trips to the mall.  This is where my last piece from Eva Trends comes up trumps.
Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.


For the second time this month I decided to step away for my usual look and feature another smock style dress from Eva Trends.  With some mixed feedback about the last dress, I'm not sure this is a style I'll go for again.  It's not really making me feel confident, but I love the look of the dress especially the block of lace on the hem, so what do you all think? Will it make the cut and be added to the suitcase … 🤔
Drawn to this rusty red dress because of the pretty ornate edging.  Rather daring to have this see though layer, but when I saw the photos I was pleased to see it wasn't really that transparent - no unslightly thighs on show - ha ha!  Short sleeves are super for warmer days, and a thin jumper will fit nicely over the top for colder days, & another perfect opportunity to don my old faithful jean jacket.



Choosing some light beige ankle boots and a beige clutch bag just to show the dress off without any other bright colours steeling the limelight.  Same goes for the three strings of pearls!  However I can see it paired with my rainbow shoes and an eye catching necklace for a bit of wow factor. What do you think I should match it with?

Unfortunately this dress is now out of stock, but here's a link to a similar style* that I wouldn't hesitate to wear as well. Priced just under the £35 mark, so with the 15% discount code JB15 you can grab a real bargain. Just add it at the checkout.

If you missed my previous picks you can catch me wearing another smock dress, styling a white shirt, sharing my 'throw on & go' cardigan and showing off in my favourite lace dress.

From over 70 blog links last week here's the favourite.
I've never bought anything check/plaid before and absolutely love this top Carrie from Curly Crafty Mom is wearing, and I've definitely never see one with a cute frayed hem either!  Let's get looking for a copy then. 😏
