Help me to wear dresses- I feel overdresssed.

Help me. I am always in jeans or skinny leg cords.

This winter I've bought a tunic- charcoal merino with pockets at front- and a dress that's a knitted shift dress in charcoal.

I wear both with either thick tights and chunky flat boots , or leggings.

BUT- I tend to keep thes outfits for "best" and never really wear them. i think it's partly because I feel older in them- I am 50-ish but people think I am much younger mainly I think because I tend to dress smart casual and not Alexon or CC!

I've got a good figure ( size 10) and look okay, so I am told, but I always feel over dressed in anything but jeans or casual trousers.

I work from home anyway, but go out to meet friends for lunch or go to exhibitions etc in London.

Please convince me I can wear my dressses.

I got a nice one in Monsoon today from monsson called the Charlie Shirt dress, half price now £27.50.

Those are lovely Amelia - good luck with the new look! I've only got one White Company dress (a thin viscosey one). Have only worn it a couple of times but it seems okay so far so fingers crossed.

thanks everyone.

Sorry to hear about the bobbling- TBH lots of wool bobbles and I don't think it is always an indication of poor quality. it just happens.
I've got a de-bobbler from J Lewis and it really works.

Gorgeous dresses Amelia. Wear them!!!! I love White Company knitwear - think the quality is superb.

Ladies, if you haven't already spotted it there's a MN thread here with lots of good links to jumper dresses / knitted dresses.

Thanks Millie did you decide on your DUO boots?

Yes, decided to leave them. If my preferred pair are reduced in price sometime I may order them, if not, I'll definitely buy new boots next autumn.
