Curves to Kill...: floral dress plus size

I'm not really a summer girl.

I have fair freckled Irish skin so I never tan, always burn and continue to get more spots. But I do love a light weight little dress and this summer I'm looking for more colours, soft prints and simple accessories to match.

I came across this dress while looking at the US H&M online store and got so grumpy when i found out they do not post internationally. Lucky for me my best friend was in the states at the time and was kind enough to pick this up for me on one of her shopping trips. Gotta love international jet setting best buds!

This dress is perfect for the heat we have had this week. Its a very light weight fabric - jersey mostly with viscose in the same print for the ruffles. Its slightly see through though and a little short so I would advise anyone to wear a black slip underneath. I've also worn this as a long top over black skinny jeans. The dress is tagged as a size L so I'm not sure what size it would be online. I'm usually a 12-14US.

The boots were a bad idea though, far too warm for boots no matter how much they work.
