What to wear for a summer garden party
Next week I have been invited to a summer garden party at the V&A. I know – how very posh! I am rather excited by this but am struggling with that age old dilemma. What do I wear?
It has been so sunny lately but this is the UK and the garden party is in the evening. It could well be cool but I don’t want a big woolly jumper do I?
And I am not one for a coat. I think I want to wear trousers or possibly a jumpsuit but finding what I want when the stores are all full of shorts and vest and beach dresses is proving tricky.
I have been perusing designer womens clothes sales online to see if I could find something suitable and I am thinking I have possibly struck gold. This top by Chloe is stunning, simple, summery and so versatile.
What do you think?
It is the top of my garden party dreams!
I would wear flats of course ( I have never been able to walk in heels despite being just 5 foot 1 and a bit!) I think silver pumps would be perfect. I would tie my hair up in an elegant top knot and I would keep my make up minimal – just a light bronzer and a dab of pale pink lipstick.
Oh and I would of course need a bag. Just a little bag for my phone and keys and I like a shoulder bag. Clutches never work for me, I talk with my hands so find them just infuriating they just get in the way, then I put them down and completely panic I will walk off without them. So yes a simple silver/grey shoulder bag to compliment the pink. I do this regularly..design and plan a whole outfit around one piece of clothing – in this case this stunning pinks shirt. Do you do this?
