As soon as the first warm sunny days of the year arrive my thoughts always turn to lighter, easier clothes. Soft colours and soft fabrics: faded, washed denim and chambray – they’re all perfect for this inbetweeny weather.
Last weekend was glorious – not only sunny, but warm enough to bring out my son’s freckles and turn my face a little pink.
It was nice enough to finally wear this denim dress which I’d picked up for a amazing £4 from Peacocks in the winter sales. It’s been waiting patiently in my wardrobe and finally its moment has come. Admittedly, I’m still wearing tights, but hopefully not for much longer…especially given the hot weather forecast for this weekend!
My dress (Peacocks), cardigan (Lily and Me) and trainers (Cath Kidston) are all winter sales bargains, but here’s my pick of my favourite light and soft denim pieces at the moment.
This dress (£22.99) is very similar to mine and is perfect for spring and summer.
I also love this loose denim top (£17.99), which sums up everything about laid-back, early summer days.
This washed-out denim skirt (£39.99) is my idea of perfection. Pair it with a tucked in Breton tee and sandals.
The pale denim also goes perfectly with my new Staffordshire dog bag. Available now in my shop for £7.50.
Which is your favourite?
The dress is so nice and really looks perfect for spring. I can’t believe it was only £4!

Thanks Gemma! It was incorrectly labelled with the wrong size so had been massively reduced! Such a bargain x
I love this post Lizzie. Just this morning I noticed that my eldest has a little sprinkling of freckles on his nose and cheeks now with the good weather having begun.
As for your denim picks, I had the twin of that gathered skirt about 5 years ago and could not figure out how to style it. It was way out of fashion at the time and I gave it to the charity shop in the end. If only I’d hung onto it…
It’s funny how things come in and out isn’t it? I’ve had a gathered skirt like this for a few years and never saw anyone else wear one – now it’s moment has really come! x
Just loving this look, will look out for the dress when I’m in Cambridge next. Could do with you to style my sitting room!
Thanks Ann! There is so much lovely denim about at the moment 🙂
£4??!!! Amazing! I love denim dresses but have never been able to find one that suits my shape. Same with denim shirts and jackets … I really like them but am yet the find the ones!! You look gorgeous in yours xx
Such a bargain, isn’t it! I love a bargain… I love denin shirts / dressed as they seem to suit my flat chested figure!
