I'm wearing this tomorrow for work. Firstly - too dressy / weddingy? Secondly, can I wear with light brown brogues.

I've not a clue - help me!

Depends where you work really. It is gorgeous but yes a bit weddingy? Unless you do quite a glam job Grin

I'd wear it to work in the Summer. It's lovely. Maybe with a little navy, coral or red cardie on top to tine down the prettiness.

I don't think it's v worky, and deffo wouldn't wear it with brogues, sorry.

Well that's enough for me to be wearing something else tomorrow! What sort of shoes would be ok?

I'd wear it to work with pumps and a cardigan if chilly. Summer innit? Not if I was meeting anew client but if with 'normal' colleagues.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/06/2014 22:22

Have you maybe got some wedges, or sandals?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/06/2014 22:23

Or navy or tan ballet shoes, maybe, if you want flats?

FamiliesShareGerms · 22/06/2014 22:24

I'd wear it to work on a Friday, but def not with brogues

Yama · 22/06/2014 22:28

I think it's lovely. I would wear it to work.

I don't really know what brogues are but I'd wear it with my navy ballet pumps.

Thank you! I do have navy ballet shoes - I'm just not sure they suit me... I'm size 16 and they always feel a bit dainty! Will prance about in front of mirror at length and reassess. Thanks again Smile

That's a lovely dress! I'd wear it for work with tan ballet flats. It's toasting atm and it's hardly a bum flashing play suit and flipflops Wink

ThisBitchIsResting · 23/06/2014 19:19

If you scroll through the pics of the dress it looks lovely worn casually on the model. 100% cotton too - tempted myself but why don't Fat Face do size 8?

love that dress. Is it a white colour or cream?

Fedupnagging · 23/06/2014 21:19

That is a lovely dress which could be dressed up or down. I wouldn't wear brogues though. Heels for dressy or flats for everyday wear.
