Last Friday I wrote my first blog post on Barbados! While I'm on holiday in a hot country, I always look really casual in the day and try to make more of an effort at night. My suitcase was crammed with maxi dresses for the evening, and my new Lashes of London dress was perfect for the manager's cocktail party on day one!
I think it's pretty obvious that I have a maxi dress problem. I've actually lost count of how many I have. Seriously. I know I say this about all of them but I really do like this jolie silk maxi dress (£65), a lot. It's 100% silk so it's floaty and cool, ideal for summer holidays to Caribbean islands.
Dress: c/o Lashes of London - Belt: Topshop - Sunglasses: French Connection - Hat (shown above): La Redoute
I think the neon pink binding is the cutest! This is a size 8 but it fits more like a size 10 so I'd recommend sizing down in this style. I also learnt it isn't that wide at the bottom so no large strides or you'll get in trouble ha ha.
The beach outside Ocean Two Barbados was perfect for taking outfit snaps. I had a small audience of fellow tourists while taking this photos but I didn't mind. As you can see I did get a little sunburnt even though I was constantly slapping on the sun tan lotion! Pale girl problems.
Are you also in love with maxi dresses? Have you sorted your summer holiday wardrobe?
