Paris: back in love

I’m having an affair.

*Completely different to my usual type, the chemistry’s electric and we’re on track for a hot summer.

Meet new love interest… floral silk maxi.

I used to hate florals btw… *used to!

Pastel florals I still actively avoid but I blame that on a vivid teenage memory where a pre-pubescent me, my badly-fitting bridesmaid dress and the disco buffet collided.

Fast forward ten-or-so years and HELLO LOVER…

Yep florals, love them or loathe them are taking root for the foreseeable. My summer serving suggestion is the floral dress… something feel good, fancy, a frock with frill benefits. And my favourite variety by far; this ultra-feminine, super flattering and seasonally on point offering from Kelly Love. She’s a game-changer of a frock you can repeat-offend like a passionate love affair.

If delicate florals are the sartorial equivalent of a love song …then this is a track well worth popping on repeat.

Twice now I’ve flirted with a Kelly Love frock and not left her floundering AKA #floordrobed.

Yeh… this is REAL LOVE.

Not bad Saturday, not bad at all.
