I couldn't wear it

I like those sweater dresses that are slightly thick, with cap sleeves, that you can wear a long or short sleeved t-shirt underneath.

My daughter (2.10) has two beautiful ones - a blue/grey Ten one for school (worn over Gap skinny jeans) and a pinky-beige Bonpoint one for home (with pink velvet Kenzo jeans).

As for moi... rien de rien

Key to avoiding sweater-dress baggy-arse look is a good stout slip. And magic pants.

Desperately teetery high heels (zara) to go with fabby maternity dress (zara; not maternity but I'd buy big!) to wear to amazing cocktail thingy.

Have no invites to cocktail thing.

Am very tempted to buy just in case.

Anyone want to invite me to said cocktail soiree feel free. Then I can buy/justify dress and ridiculous but divine shoes.

If you get a droopy gusset in tights, buy "tall or fuller figure" from boots.

Even if slim, they stay up and you won'g have a droopy gusset

I LOVE wearing opaque tights with knee high boots

Dresses and any shoe with a heel!
I live in jeans and plain T-shirts and hooded tops with trainers or flat boots. I bore myself.
Anything apart from the above 'uniform' seems extravagant and gets saved for 'going out' which I manage perhaps once a month.
I love the dresses over jeans look though and the SHORT dresses around at the mo. Below knee hems are AWFUL on me. Just above or on knee is great so perhaps I will go shopping.
I am totally wrong shape for any kind of sweater dress.

Never know what shoes to wear with dresses and think this is the main problem. I am only 5ft6 but have size 6.5/7 feet that roll at the heel and skinny calves so ballet pumps look VVVVV stupid.
