I’ve said this for a long time now, but I don’t particularly find summer dressing to be all that easy. I like layers, I like adding pieces to a look to make it my look and in the summer, well, it ain’t all that easy.
So this spring, before the summer set in, I vouched to stay true to myself this season. To opt for layers if I so wish and to experiment with new dimensions of said, layering.
So, with that, I come with a rather wonderful patchwork dress with ruffled detailing. The patchwork elements to the dress add a somewhat layered feel to the look, especially thanks to the carefully constructed ruffled detailing: this is the ultimate cheat layered piece IMO. I’ve then chosen to layer with accessories such as a greek fishermans hat, choker, ankle socks and a statement bag, ’cause I am finally able to embrace that sometimes it’s the small details that truly finish off a a big look.
Of course, you could totally ignore me and embrace the stick and the sweat with your leather jacket. Because, I totally get that leather withdrawals are rife at this time of the year, something I struggle all too well with myself… Now pass me the leather!

Yay Megan! You look amazing, as always. I think I know where this was shot (or very similar).. Is it near the boats just off the end of deansgate, near key 103? If not it looks so similar to it! I don't know how you make anything you wear just look so effortless?? Literally it could be anything and it would still fit you like a glove & look like it's your own natural style. Amazing!

I get why dressing up for summer is a bit harder. Because on one hand, you know it's gonna be hot, but it gets cooler at night. Dressing up for winter is easier because people can't see what you're wearing underneath because of the coat you're wearing!

I find it easier to dress up for Autumn/Winter too, but you did a very good job dressing up for summer with that dress, it's absolutely stunning! I also love the location of your photos, this place at the end of Deansgates has always been one of my favourite place in Manchester.
