So, how do you dress when it\u2019s hot in the sun, cold in the shade and rainy in between?

They expose just the right amount of lower leg, which allows for breezy relief when temps peak during mid-day, but still leaves you appropriately covered up for when the chill sets in after sundown. The midi has progressed since first stepping into our wardrobes a few years back, what with the plethora of styles just waiting to be explored. From pleated to wrapped, printed or plain, the midi is a wardrobe lifesaver and recently I can\u2019t get enough of wearing them over jeans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6971\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_2917.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_2917\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6968\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_2921.jpg?resize=598%2C632\" alt=\"IMG_2921\" width=\"598\" height=\"632\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jeans are everyone\u2019s layering lifesaver and although they are the hardest things in the world to buy (post coming soon) they are the perfect way to keep your pins warm. Dressing up your everyday skinnies with well, a dress, will up our outfit ante in a heartbeat. The flash of denim at the bottom of your dress is an instant upgrade for the \u2013 let\u2019s face it- mostly too cold to wear tights.

Which to be fair, isn\u2019t exactly terrible, but has made me more conscious of my problem areas \u2013 aka hips, bums and tums. Although I know I am by no means fat, in fact, over the last few years I have been more comfortable than ever with my body, but that still doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t have bad days. Especially when you see your body change and your clothes fit different than before, it can be tough! I know this won\u2019t be the last time I feel this way so to deal with it, it\u2019s about rolling with the punches and finding even more shapes that flatter the slightly curvier you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6963\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_2923.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_2923\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6970\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_2918.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_2918\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dress:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boohoo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Boohoo<\/a>, Belt: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gant.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">GANT<\/a>, Polo: Biba, Jeans: River Island,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Boots: Zara, Bag: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boden.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boden<\/a>, Glasses: <a href=\"https:\/\/iolla.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">IOLLA<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are wanting to embrace the middle, there are loads of ways that you can layer or wear straight up when the weather kicks in.\u00a0\u00a0How do you wear your midi?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3216 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/forever-yours-betty.jpg?resize=140%2C88\" alt=\"forever yours betty\" width=\"140\" height=\"88\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so the calendar technically says it\u2019s\u00a0springtime, but in a lot of places, we\u2019re in the thick of that awkward in-between phase where the final dregs of winter just won\u2019t quit.
