Wedding style

Not MY wedding. Duh.

Whew, it's hot in London.  I've actually started complaining about not being able to complain about the weather, which is a grouchy new low for me.  Weddings in weather like this are a bit of a bloody challenge, but as long as you aren't the bride or a guy, you always have a few options for keeping cool.

Like Susie Stone (the maker of amazing bespoke womenswear who has her workshop on Bermondsey Street, where I live) recently blogged, the best thing in weather like this is an airy cotton dress.  I was planning to wear a silk pencil dress to this wedding, but it would have been absolutely sweltering. This last minute sale buy from Hobbs saved the day. Nice, airy linen in an eye popping colour. Perfect. I also like that the girly 50s skirt is balanced by the slightly 80s buttoned up collar.  It stops it being too "It's 2007, let's do 50s revival!!!".
