I'm completely in love with this maxi shirt dress from Asos. If you read my Making a Statement post, this is the second dress I found when browsing Rosie's shop. Since then, I've actually seen Sammi from Beautycrush wearing it as well, so it's clearly a blogger favourite! It somehow manages to be both elegant and effortless at the same time, and attracts a lot of compliments. It was definitely the dress I enjoyed wearing most on holiday.
Dress - Asos, Sandals - Accessorize
This particular little corner of Mallorca is very special to me and I have so many precious childhood memories from here. It's the perfect place for me to reflect on my life, the choices I have made and the things that are really important to me, and every time I visit, I end up leaving feeling more in touch with myself. This time, I did a lot of thinking about my blog. I've always been someone who needs a creative outlet in life, but I never expected that my little piece of the internet would come to be as important to me as it is. While my family means everything to me and I take pride in my work, my blog is who I am. Does that make sense? I'm sure it must do to all you fellow creatives! Even if I don't post as often as I'd like to, I'm always thinking about it, and I can't imagine ever giving it up. I'd feel like there was something vital missing from my life.
Anyway, enough philosophy! The resolve I made was that no matter how busy life gets, I need to always make time for this blog. Remind me of that next time I don't post for weeks due to work commitments!
Do you make resolutions on holiday? And what do you think of this dress?

You should! It's such a pretty island. x
DeleteThat dress is absolutely lovely on you and it's understandable why you like it so much. And I completely understand what you mean with the blog. Not only it's a creative outlet for me, it's also my hard work and to read each comment that I received is so satisfying and rewarding.

DeleteThanks Jessica! X
ReplyDeleteI've only been blogging for six months, but I understand where you're coming from. My blog has been the platform with which I can really express and be who I am, as cliche as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteI think your mustard dress is absolutely gorgeous against the stormy skies. You look lovely, Kate!

DeleteI do make resolutions on holiday, but I struggle with keeping them once I am back to full working mode...
