Raining Cats And Dogs & Red Converse All-Star. Day 12 Of 30 Styling My Shoes, Boots, Converse, Or Trainers. Happy Sunday, lovelies.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mums out there. I hope you get truly spoilt.

Note from the editor: This post content has been updated and modernised after it was first published in June 2019. I have worn this outfit a few times. So I thought I would update this unloved post.

It is none-stop raining here. So miserable. It was nice weather, yesterday though. So all good. Back to rain today.

You could say it is Raining Cats And Dogs! Ha, talking of dogs, how adorable is this Cath Kidston dog-printed dress?

Today’s “Raining Cats and Dogs” outfit of the day is a whimsical and playful outfit that perfectly embraces the unpredictable weather.

A vibrant, dog maxi dress takes center stage, adding a touch of fun to the rainy day. Swap Converse for ankle boots and this outfit ensures you stay stylish while navigating puddle-filled pavements!

A cosy, oversized coat or sweater not only keeps you warm but also adds a charming feel to the look.

Don’t forget a dog-shaped waterproof backpack to carry your essentials with a quirky touch. This outfit not only protects you from the rain but also showcases your love for pets with a fashionable twist.

All we need now is the sun to come out and shine to make things extra special. It is still raining!!

Raining Cats And Dogs | Outfit Of The Day:

Raining Cats And Dogs & Red Converse All-Star.

I have had such a busy weekend with a lot of excitement and new opportunities in the air. Lots of lovely things happening towards the end of the week and new opportunities to grab with both hands.

Yesterday, was fun as a trip to London was planned. I wore this beautiful red dress with blue dogs on it and styled it with my brown teddy coat, brown handbag, and bright red Converse All-Star High tops.

If you want a laugh, stop by last night’s Instagram post!! I banged my head really hard on this statue whilst my husband was filming and I was in so much pain. I tried to hide that it hurt because there were a few people around. But I clearly could not with my reaction!!

Smiling through the pain like a pro. Who else has mastered the art of hiding their discomfort for the perfect photo op? Well, I should say trying too. I didn’t hide it that well!! The Struggle Is Real. Painful Poses. Fake It Till You Make It.

You are live on Big Brother. Please do not swear. Blogger Fail Instagram Reel. No laughing!! Haha, you can now. I do.

Styling The Dress Tips:

Outfit Of The Day. Styling the Cath Kidston Cat and Dog Maxi Dress is an absolute delight, offering a perfect blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance.

The dress, adorned with adorable dog motifs against a vibrant background, also becomes the focal point of the outfit.

Enhance the retro aesthetic by cinching the waist with a thin, contrasting belt, creating a flattering silhouette.

Consider accessorising with dainty stud earrings and a coordinating bracelet to keep the focus on the whimsical print.

Also, opt for a classic hairstyle like loose waves or a low bun to maintain the dress’s timeless appeal.

Whether you’re heading to a brunch or a garden party, the Cath Kidston Dog Maxi Dress effortlessly combines playful patterns with timeless style for an enchanting and effortlessly chic look.

Styling Red Converse All Stars High-Top Tips:

Styling Red Converse All Stars High-Top Tips.

Firstly, Wear a white t-shirt and classic blue denim with your red Converse High-Tops for a casual yet stylish look. For an added dash of casual charm, throw on a denim jacket.

Secondly, Wear your red high tops with leggings or joggers and a comfortable, roomy hoodie to embrace the athleisure trend. For a sporty-chic vibe, complete the outfit with a bomber jacket or a fun baseball cap.

Thirdly, Make a statement by pairing your red trainers with bright colours or patterns. For a lively and striking outfit, try wearing them with a flowery print dress or a graphic tee. Or how about polka dots? See this look here: Red Converse Boots And Polka Dot Maxi.

Choose a monochromatic look in tones of grey or black to create a chic and elegant look. Against the neutral backdrop, your Red Converse All Stars will stand out.

Paired with fun ballet-style shoes. I love red. It is so my colour. Red is so bright and cheerful too. On Friday I had a lovely catch-up with my oldest and dearest friend. I can not believe it has been around 8ish years since we last meet up but it feels only like weeks.

So many things to catch up on and lots of surprises that make me realise you should enjoy every day, laugh more and never take life too serious. I never want to grow up!!
