Is this THIS year's School Run Dress?

[FlibbertyGiblets]

linen blend, pop-on, DO I SPY POCKETS?

Tbh I’d look fucking stupid.... not sure how much huger my arse can look 🤨

Oh god lipstick would you give up?!

A good proportion of the posters on this thread know exactly what the SRD is. It's been explained to you multiple times that this is an age old tradition on MN in spring.

No one's compelling you to join in if you can't understand.

I understand completely and You’re asking I agree with you to flatter your ego?
That’s a resounding no
HTH

Lipstick

You clearly don't. HTH. Hun

It’s a yes from me - fit n flare is most of my wardrobe.

I clearly do understand and it’s still an emphatic no
HTH

think this could be a contender for this years SRD

Sleeves: check
Popover: check
Pockets: check
Cheap: check

I have gardening trousers (old manky tracky bottoms). I call them my gardening trousers but they are not limited to gardening. I also wear them for painting/washing the car/clearing out the garage. I still call them my gardening trousers.

I have a great simple knee length jersey dress. It's my dress of choice for beach holidays, where I can go from the beach to a cafe. My legs and arse will not permit shorts, so putting on a dress is my best option.

This dress is also my SRD in the summer. Let's say I've been to the gym and I don't want to wear Lycra in public, I put on my beach dress. I am not thin and I don't look good in everything. I look half decent in my dress. Shoot me if my self-esteem means I'd rather chuck on a dress than be seen in clothes I only wear in the privacy of my garden.

I happen to call it my SRD rather than beach dress as a nod back to those old threads.

I really don't understand the confusion. It's not about dressing up for the school run, it's about wearing stuff that you feel comfortable in in public. I'm very comfortable in private in my gardening trousers but not comfortable in them in public.

Shh lipstick you got a wee humphy face there 😁😁😁

I don't have DC and I remember the school run dress threads
I have a couple which I would class as "SRD". For me it means you get up, it's a hot day and you want a dress to throw on with a pair of sandals that's easy to wear, you don't have to faff about with strapless bras etc, it doesn't need ironing, you just get up and go 🤷🏽‍♀️
Mine are the skater dresses from the tall range at Dorothy Perkins

@TSSDNCOP that dress from Next was so popular last summer it sold out in a few weeks. I tried the Navy one on and it was a nice dress, very flattering. Tempted to get it this year (and pray its ever warm enough up here in the north east to ever wear it)

a checklist?how very regimental
What happens to outliers who go off message?

THIs is going to blow your mind ....but that was for the OP not you lipstick. I don’t wish to communicate with you after this. I find you judgemental, uptight , dictatorial and an irritating wasp.

Your message (of which you have banged on repeatedly) about not getting the school run dress thing is because you have a different lifestyle. I know. SHOCKING. OTHER PEOPLE LIVE DIFFERENTLY TO YOU AND MAKE DIFFERENT CHOICES.

I am beginning to suspect you are hairy handed. What you certainly are though is a grade A bore. A bit weird too frankly....

Ella you’re right! I have the white sleeveless version because I couldn’t get the be-sleeved version.

It’s the SRD of the Friends Apartment Pants —which are really yoga trousers, but fgs don’t tell Lipstick—

Hiding thread now .... looking forward to a new one with wind up merchants not featuring

Ah Paul don’t do that.

Am loving this thread, its like the good old days, makes me wistful...

The ones I have are similar to this but without the bow and no sleeve frills. Hoping they bring them back as I wear them in summer with flat sandals and at the moment for work with tights and a cardigan/soft blazer

Paul ignore. Some posters can't help themselves.

Goodness, Lipstick, you’re being very boring. I have been pootling through this thread in a “it’s 4am and I need to get to sleep” sort of way, and your comments jar at every turn.

Just shush!

FWIW I like the next one in white. Although I'm v pale so it only suits me in my imagination

Paul on this thread you’ve even aerated to me demonstrably unable to be civil
Knobber
Snippy shit
Inverted snob
And again I see you’re further adding

grade A bore. A bit weird too frankly....

You seem unable to maintain any air of composure of civility and quite unsuited to online forums

I wonder why innocuous threads make you this worked up

ssd me too. What was the name of the OP? Was she also the one that did Poncetastic Christmas?

TSS I have that Next dress in four colourways.

Black, White, Blue stripe and Navy geo. It's a good length on me (I am 53) and I need the upper arm coverage.

Iborgia, upon considering your suggestion .I'm afraid it’s a no
