Anyone ordered this from The White Co?

Quite fancy it in navy, with tan flat sandals, big bracelet and a denim jacket.

lol that waist coat is rude!!!

tea bag bikini is v odd too.

SeeJaneKick · 15/03/2011 19:27

That is elegant Rannaldini...but I would think it's more for an older woman. Maybe ok for me and older...I'm 38.

Course, if you're 22 and hot it'll look even better! So all in all very nice..conservative and nice.

noddyholder · 15/03/2011 19:29

I think it could look quite young with yellow plimsolls and a bit of a tan but I am OLD

i like that dress carrie but it is not. a. school. run. dress
as well you know missy

i can't ever get my head around strapless sleeveless though and often think the idea is better than the actuality

withagoat · 15/03/2011 20:59

i am 40
not 2

carriedababi · 15/03/2011 21:25

ran, well, i would actually weat that to collect my dd preschool on a sunny day, or to go to the park in.

i like overdressing sometimes

but have to agree it doesn't qualify for the title school run dress.

cornsilk678 · 15/03/2011 23:56

Carrie the skirt bikini is hideous - don't do it!
ROFL at teabag bikini - very 1970's - like this

trixymalixy · 16/03/2011 08:36

I love the print on that butterfly dress, don't like strapless though.

carriedababi · 16/03/2011 09:58

lol corny.
well i guess it does look a bit like something an oap would wear with [[http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ladiesswim-hat%2fcap-Vintage-style-RED-

Denim shirt dress arrived today. Is excellent dentist/Ikea/school run dress.

Stripy one is going back. Practically showed my pants.

OK - because of some subtle persuasion from lackaDaisy, I'm about to purchase the People Tree breton twist dress in blue. There is also a nice maxi version.

I've seen a couple of good reviews of the Boden chambray dress now - not sure if the codes I have still work. I've got a refund coming as skinny Johnnie B jeans in white have sold out in my size, very annoyed.
