Pale Yellow Dress, Copper and Tan • Spring Outfit

Lemon Dungaree Dress and Copper T-shirt | Fake Fabulous

I'm wearing real clothes today (no joggers in sight) and surprisingly, I didn't make any of them myself.

I've been making a lot of crafty clothes recently but none of them are in this look.
I thought it was time to give the handmade look a break for a few days!

I'm wearing a little bit of sunshine today.
A pale yellow linen dress and a copper-coloured knitted tee.
(Not made by me!)

To be honest with you, this t-shirt looks nice enough BUT the fabric is probably a poly-mix (no label, so I'm not sure) and it can be a bit "sweaty".

Polyester yarn has that annoying ability to make you sweaty and, worse than sweaty, a bit whiffy!

Polyester is not very practical for a real summer day but okay for chilly spring-time in Scotland.

A khaki utility jacket toughens things up just enough but overall this feels like a really feminine outfit.

      Thank you Monica! 😘 This top is (just) warm enough for Scotland but wouldn't work under your sunshine.... I'd be a sweaty mess!! 😂

      Thank you Lise. Since wearing it here I've shortened the straps a little. I felt they looked a bit droopy and I don't need any help with drooping!! 😂

    layering is perfect for this time of year! not sure if temperatures are warming up where you live? but here in Northern California, we are already at 26C/80F! we have very warm Springs...
    lovely dress!

      We are very changeable Eva. Warm one day 18 degrees then back down to 9 degrees the next! Layers are always the answer and a cardigan is never very far away 😁

    Lovely in linen! I did a linen jacket today and it felt wonderful. I adore your layering here - weather in my part of the world is insanely changeable, so a light jacket is always needed, plus camisoles, and thin sweaters. That pale yellow is perfect with your colouring, Samantha!

      Thank you Sheila.... 8m never sure what colours really suit me. I think it's easy to see other people but harder to see yourself. Do you agree?? X
