Lemon Dress: Over 40 Style Creative Mondays:
Did you know today is also I Forgot Day? I am getting terrible at forgetting things lately. Then rushing around last minute to do whatever it was I forgot to do.
One thing I have not forgotten was that sick feeling when your child leaves home.
I remember that day well. We dropped my eldest off 5 years ago at Loughborough University and I was crying in the street. You can read my post here: What It Feels Like When Your Child Leaves Home.
It was a surprise when he said a few weeks ago, he was moving back home, but a nice one.
Today I am sharing my outfit what I wore last week to go to London.
You can read why I went to London here: My Sunday Photo: Meeting Michelle Heaton.
What I Wore: Dress: Amazon || Handbag: c/o Marisota || Sandals: c/o Bonmarche
Grab a drink and link up your creative/crafty/stylish posts and have fun finding amazing, inspiring and creative posts at this week’s party.
This Week’s Featured Blogs:
Firstly, I love Jess’s {from Elegantly Dressed And Stylish} jumpsuit. Such a lovely style, pattern and colour.
You can find Jess’s blog here: Zara Floral Wide Leg Jumpsuit- Elegantly Dressed And Stylish.
Secondly, have you ever tried a Broccoli Cauliflower Salad? I have not but now I have seen Carol’s { from Comfort Spring station} recipe, I need to try it.
It looks so tasty. You can find Carol’s recipe here: Broccoli Cauliflower Salad.
Thirdly, this flip-flop style book looks so sweet and very creative.
This one was made by Pam from An Artful Mom and you can find her post here: Mini-Book/Photo Book From Flip-Flops.
Fourthly, guess what Barb from Turtles And Tails did when her adorable dogs did this to her patio lounger?
She recovered it and did an amazing job! This is just the kind of thing Mollie does when she is not getting our attention!
You can find the full recovery post here: Recovering a Patio Lounge Cushion.
Last but not least, Jennie from A Pocketful Of Polkadots and I have the same taste in dresses and I love her cherry blossom midi dress here. CHERRY BLOSSOM MIDI DRESS.

Thanks Shellbee, love this pattern 🙂
I think I will cry too when my son decides to leave home. Family is important and as a parent, having your kiddos fly away is the hardest. Speaking for myself, I know it will be for me. So glad he is going to be back home to give you some time to spend with him. Love this lemon dress you are wearing! The print is so fun and the dress suits you well. I hope your day is off to a great start and happy Monday!
