Wtf is a "school run dress"?

Do you actually change clothes to drop off/pick up at school?
Who are you trying to impress?
Do you have nothing more important to think about?

I love reading about 'school run dresses' - for me it's like watching a very escapist tv series where everyone looks lovely all the time.

My SIL generally drops her DD off at school in pj bottoms, puts a posh top over the top of it, prays she has no reason to get out of the car.

tbh my office is full of slobs has a casual dress code so I wear them to work in the summer, but cannot flash bra so wide straps are important.

lol thread title... I konw what you mean, TT. I was thinking that around here there are 2 types... those trying to look smart and those sneering at those who overdo it when they try to look smart.

I am well out of all that, though, being at the bottom of the social pecking order as the perenially scruffy, of course.

Er, Cod, is there a piccie of you in a bikini somewhere? Coz you won't find one of me over the age of 10 (& I have a good figure, bikinis & sunbathing just not my style).

Agree with dresses for large of nork are a nightmare. (36f) Anything without shape makes me look preggers, as it hangs off my boobs.
