www.zara.com/uk/en/woman/tops/blouses/-c401028p2431512.html really recommend this

www.hm.com/gb/product/88068?article=88068-A bought something very similar to these but with a flat front not on web or I can't find and lovely on too

For non-demin school run dresses, I saw this earlier today and am now annoyed at myself for not buying it. I think it'll fit the bill quite well, it's stretchy, but thick material, not too clingy, you can have a bit of a bloated tummy without looking pregnant in it, and it was a good length on me.

I think I'll be going back into town on Wednesday and I think I'll treat myself.

(and it was considerably less bumpy in real life)

Nice, Mary, like that. So much nicer than a denim sack

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but has the compulsary person popped up and moaned about how silly it is to dress for the school run, like someone feels the need to do everyear?

I'm leaning towards the next one.

noddyholder · 30/03/2015 14:53

Well they flattered me lol! Just look like a long skirt and they really are lovely. Tried when I got home with black ballet type jersey top and heels

ElizabethHoover · 30/03/2015 14:54

no, Mardy oddly not.

just an accusation of it being exclusive

ElizabethHoover · 30/03/2015 14:56

PHOTO! I read an article where the Jigsaw design woman said that no one suited culottes yet they keep selling.

I thought AT LAST THE TRUTH Grin

I always dress for the school run, I change back into scruffs the minute I get in too. It's the only chance I get to wear something not dog-hairy and muddy a lot of the time!
