Dream Dress: Topshop's Navy Floral Stripe Belt Dress

The weather outside may be endlessly grey (for us Londoners, at least), but I'm ready to break free from my woolly tights and ever-sniffly nose and dream of the sunshine. And this Topshop Navy Floral Stripe Belt dress is just the thing to help me.

For a mere £38, this sundress is a shape that flatters English figures (pulls in the waist, flaunts the boobs, hides the hips) and in a print that will take the season's spills - in my case, BBQ food and Pimms.

I'm going to hang mine up on my bedroom wall to remind me that summer will, at some point in the seemingly distant future, come around again. I can't wait.
