This week’s Five on Friday has no real theme: it’s just a roundup of some random items that caught my eye this week. So, now I come to think of it, I guess it DOES have a theme: expect stripes, spots and a dash of green…
Sixton Estoril striped dress
I know, I know – it’s yet another stripe dress, and it’s not like you’ve never seen one of THOSE here before, is it? This, however, is a particularly nice example of the striped pencil shape: I love the short sleeves, which could even allow you to wear it to work, if you wanted, while the tie-back detail will guarantee the right fit at the waist – which can be pretty hard to come by.
New Look floral lace shift dress
This dress is quite a bit shorter than I usually wear, but I can’t help but love it: that white floral lace is just so sweet, and it looks like the perfect dress to throw in your suitcase for a summer holiday.
ASOS Structured Wiggle Dress in Botanical Floral
Boden glitter spot top
I’m a big fan of wardrobe basics, but the problem with basics is that they can sometimes be a little… well, basic, really. This little Boden top, however, manages to combine a “basic” shape with a glitter spot print, which makes a bit more special, while still keeping it appropriately versatile.
Office On to Point Court Shoes
I’ve chosen to show you these shoes in khaki, but they come in a range of (mostly neutral) colours, and honestly, I’d happily buy them all, if I possibly could. I’ve been struggling to find plain, high-heeled court shoes lately (I know they seem like the kind of shoes you should be able to find absolutely everywhere, but what can I say: I can be pretty fussy, sometimes…), and these are the first ones I’ve found to check all the boxes. I’ll have a pair in every colour, please…
