Wimborne it’s a pretty, historic market town, a few miles drive away from where we live. If you read my last fashion post, you will know that we are attempting to spend Sunday without social media and to spend more time together as a couple and as a family.

Wimborne on a Sunday.
Wimborne Minster, to give it is correct name, is a small market town in East Dorset. The Minster part of its name, comes from the large Saxon church situated in the town. The town also boasts a very old model village. When my son was small we could often be found there, peering into the tiny windows of the model buildings.
Nowadays I like to visit Wimborne for the shops, Marc likes the pubs and we all like the very pretty cafés and tea houses. Plenty of reasons to visit Wimborne on a Sunday then?
I often think that Laura Ashley’s casual collections are overlooked in favour of their dresses and the smarter formal or workwear. So I am aiming to put that right today by sharing this bright and cheerful casual outfit from their lovely ‘Summer Vacation’ collection:
Wearing Laura Ashley.
Now although I am cutting out social media on a Sunday, I would never pass up an opportunity to have an outfit photographed. Marc obligingly took these pics for me…thanks darling, love you!

Up until a couple of years ago I had lived just outside of Wimborne for nearly 30 years and it has definitely changed in that time. You look really good in that outfit and ready for our long awaited summer.
