I'm looking for a casual dress that I can just throw on and wear. Something still a bit trendy, but will also go with everything and that I can run around and do errands in.
I'm a dress addict, and have over 75 of them, but looking at them all recently the main thing that has stood out about my autumn/winter dresses is that they're all a bit formal for everyday now. I'm no longer going into the office and if I do things are much more casual now. Normally I would wear a nice dress with heels - either court shoes, knee high heeled boots, or heeled sandals. But now if I wear things like this it looks like I'm going out to dinner or about to have an interview / do a presentation.
I'm struggling to find any dress at the moment that suits my pale summer skin tone, that doesn't swamp my 5'4 size 8 hourglass frame, and that doesn't look too dressy or put together. I came across this Me+Em dress after scouring websites for weeks. I like the look of it on the model. It's casual, not too busy with bold patterns, not too bright, not too flowy, nips on at the waist, has a zipper to create a V-neck. It's casual. But I'm not sure if it's too casual. I'm also wondering if it might swamp me as well? I'd wear it with flat Dr Martin style boots and tights or white trainers.
Thoughts? Or alternative suggestions?? I don't wear bright bold colours, no reds, oranges, bright blues or greens. I suit softer muted colours, like greys, pastels, cool mink browns, softer blues and greens. So in a sea of puffy black dresses it's been challenging this year.
