Mid Century Sweetheart: I will send you a postcard ♥

Hello sweethearts!

August 23 is approaching, if you don't know already, I'm going to UK for a couple of days to visit my dear friend Eniko (visit her blog HERE). So! I'm slowly thinking about the outfits and really enjoying just planning and matching dresses with shoes and accessories. The highlight of my trip will definitely be Twinwood Festival so apparel for that day must be perfect- and I think I found it!

Black postcard dress by Love Ur Look Clothing & Vintage is beautiful, unique and comfortable! Excellent for a day full of dancing and thrifting. This dress is part of new SS2016 Love Ur Look Clothing & Vintage collection by designer and founder Ronke Fashola. Three quirky style themes which make the collection: 1940S Picnic , Mexicana Magic and Fifties Fun are imbued with, now well recognizable, Love Ur Look Clothing feminine, flattering, unique, ethical and affordable style. Collection is ethically made in the UK and India, using upcycled fabrics and trims so buying from Love Ur Look Clothing you support wonderful women and animals (Ronke donates profits to animal hospital in India)! Now that is amazing if you ask me!

Black postcard dress features short sleeves, pockets and matching fabric belt. It is made out of 100% soft cotton with a fun vintage postcards print on a black base. The pop of orange and pink flowers lifts the whole dress and gives plenty of ways to accessorise. I love the peach buttons up the front of a bodice section- buttons are real so they come in handy because this dress utilizes a side zip which means that you don't have to pull it over your head if you styled your hair first (like I often do), you can just hop into the dress.

Ronke’s focus on fun key points of design is evident in a few inches of pink tulle at the bottom of lining to give skirt a petticoat effect. A-line skirt falls just below my knees and has a great shape with and without a petticoat.

I adore shirt style dresses so I was immediately drawn to this dress because of her cute and unexpected collar design and spacious pockets. Self-tie belt fits any waist size and Love Ur Look Clothing comes in sizes XS-XXL1. I'm wearing a size M (UK12) which fits perfectly, even the capped sleeves are nice and wide (for reference my measurements are about 36" bust and 26" waist).
