White trainers to wear with dresses | still a foolproof outfit combo I'm not giving up anytime soon!11/7/2024 The dress and trainer look is still going strong and I love it, this trend changed my whole outlook on wearing dresses, finally I could feel comfortable, do away with the formality of heels and now my dresses can be dressed up or down. I love the casual vibe of a dress and trainer outfit.
For my daughters generation it is hard for them to imagine a time when trainers with dresses (or any other outfit) wasn't a wardrobe staple. But for us Gen X's it was all so much more formal, high heels to the office, dresses were saved for special occasions and only those blessed with a taller, slimmer statue dared wear flats. At 5'2" I just felt too frumpy, too short or too casual, and so it was that I'd wear a skirt, blouse and jacket or a suit with high heels (usually stilettos) to the office and for my regular lunchtime sojourn into the town centre. How on earth my feet survived all day I will never know! Although I do have the bunions to show for it, I couldn't do those lunchtime walks in heels now! So I'm delighted the dress and trainers trend continues, take them away from me at your peril! I'm always on the lookout for the best trainers to wear with my dresses from spring to autumn (I usually lean towards boots in the winter months). The athleisure trend has kept dresses and trainers as an everyday essential in (nearly) every woman's wardrobe, from the top designers to high street style, the white trainer remains a capsule wardrobe must have. And we are utterly spoilt for choice, whatever your budget, there is a white trainer for you. Get 15% off at SANS MATIN using my code MICHELLE15 (aff link).

I've just returned from a fabulous short break in the UK, me and my daughter took a gamble on the weather and travelled to the Isle of Wight for 3 nights. We were keen to avoid airport delays and flight cancellations when we only had a very short window of opportunity to get away. The gamble paid off and we were blessed with amazing sunny weather. And a bonus that it wasn't the heatwave the rest of the UK got, we had perfect temperatures of around 21 degrees and the most fabulous views of the beach and sea from our Airbnb apartment.
Packing for a UK break can present quite the dilemma, trying to cover all eventualities with unpredictable weather, from heatwave to rain, balmy days and cooler nights. Of course the benefit of a UK break is that we often travel by car, which means we can throw extra layers in without cluttering up a suitcase. I had a raincoat, a blanket, beach towels and a brolly just in case! I tend to travel with everything but the kitchen sink! The Isle of Wight was really fabulous, easy to access via Red Funnel Ferries from Southampton to Cowes and then a short drive to Totland Bay where we were staying.

I've noticed during my online browsing (and buying) that there has been a significant shift towards availability of eco-friendly, sustainable fabrics, maybe I am stating the obvious, but I hope we are all becoming far more aware of the environmental impact of the choices we make when shopping. From buying less, to buying (and selling) pre-loved fashion, renting outfits, and choosing eco-friendly fabrics whenever possible, we are no longer prepared to accept fast fashion. But what should we be looking for, what can we do when we are shopping and what are the most sustainable fabrics (and the least sustainable), can the big fashion brands ever be truly sustainable?
