A three day weekend is the best excuse for a BBQ or even better going to one, as it saves you doing the hosting. But when it comes to what to wear, it's always an awkward one. The weathers pretty unpredictable and then there's how dressy do you go.

Play it safe with a floral print dress. We went for a gypsy style with chunky straps for a playful, yet 70's vibe. It is supposedly Summer, so be brave and go for bare legs with a pair of chunky peep toe clogs. If it's cold, you can always opt for leggings and tan boots instead, as the dress is versatile.

We have chosen loose fringed kimono to drape over the top of the dress. It's a little bit of extra warmth and again if it is really cold, pair the dress with a knit kimono instead. For a little bit of extra detail wear a waist belt to cinch in your waist and to pull in the kimono. To add characted the outfit, try wearing a hat. We love the black trim fedora from Topshop. It works great with any outfit and pulls the whole attire together.

Last but definitely not least, opt for a pendant instead of a collar. The Alani Layered Clear Bead Necklace works great to give the outfit some well needed texture. Match it with The Amara Layered Bead Chain Bracelet for some colour and again extra texture.

We've sorted out what you're wearing.... you're on your own with the Barbecuing!

We are still in LOVE with the Monochrome trend for Summer, but we have played with the patterns and textures to create a summery version. The wide leg culottes are from Topshop. Topshop never let us down with the beautiful patterns for every season, this one no exception, with an overlapping busy floral print. We teamed it with a cotton scalloped textured tank. It's the perfect length, as you can tuck into the culottes or wear it loose over the top if you're having a lot to eat and drink. The scalloping softens the look.

It's time to dig out your sandals and cut out shoes. We went for a patent sandal version of a school shoe. The buckles and patent finish bring a bit of formality to the outfit, but still able to show a bit of flesh. This black leather rucky is great for a day out to pack all your essentials in. It's very versatile as it has a small strap, so it can be held as a handbag too.

When picking jewellery for this outfit, we were stuck for choice, as The Adorning Ava Monochrome Trend has such strong pieces this season. In the end, we decided on The Kyla Black Jewel Rope Necklace, as it's sets off the outfit perfectly. The design of the necklace is almost made to wear with the culottes. We chose The Leila Monochrome Hoop Earrings. The hoops bring of extra detail to the outfit. Don't forget, the sun is out so your outfit isn't complete without a pair of shades. The Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses are one of our fave pairs at AAHQ.  They make any outfit look stylish.

Don't forget, it is England, so make sure you've packed you pocket umbrella. Those April showers have a way of creeping into May. For a Summery fresh look, keep your make up simple with a quick flick of eye liner and a clear lipgloss.
