So comfortable.

I've learnt something new! Yes I believe the Clarks boots are TTS Grin

@Maria1982

Are the boots comfortable?? Sorry to derail, but I’ve been looking at those on the Clark’s website and being indecisive.
They're almost sold out...

I’ve got the dress in black. It’s gorgeous, not at all itchy and so warm.

I tried that exact dress on in Uniqlo today! I loved it, except it made my hair look as though I'd been electrocuted! I'm not sure I've ever considered what clothing does to my hair before but the static was crazy! I do have fine hair... So I walked out with a Merino wool v neck, a pair of heattech gloves, heattech "room socks" and heattech leggings instead. I'm a bit obsessed with Uniqlo heattech Blush

SparklyDino · 04/11/2021 19:33

@Youcancallmeval

Looks great OP 👍 You might want a second boot as well...

This made me laugh far more than it should have!

I think if you put it on while wearing a hat (maybe a shower hat, or tin foil?) then you won't get the static. Just remember to remove said hat before going out in public.

It sounds like you'll be toasty warm this winter. I also love a bit of heattech.

Love the dress OP .. and your sense of humour 😊
You come across as someone who is fun to be around !!

Yogawankonobi · 05/11/2021 01:47

You absolutely should be a fashion photographer/stylist. I can just see it in Vogue… models with one shoe stood on the table. I think it’s the future.

StarlightLady · 05/11/2021 06:27

I like it. Have you washed it yet?

TheOrigRights · 05/11/2021 17:09

Nope.

I have another dress to show off!

OP posts:
UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme · 05/11/2021 18:16

TheOrigRights show us then!

I'm still considering ordering the dress... my boss almost certainly has a spare tin foil hat he could lend me... or we have boxes of hazmat suit haircovers sitting in boxes at work from the excitement of the beginning of the pandemic...

indignatio · 05/11/2021 18:24

Next dress with the other boot please

DagenhamRoundhouse · 05/11/2021 18:27

I saw something similar in M&S yesterday.

TooMinty · 05/11/2021 18:29

Oh no, I love that dress but I'm only 5ft tall 😭

TheOrigRights · 05/11/2021 19:13

Party dress. It's navy, so I'll maybe take a pic in daylight.
Don't know what shoes to wear.

I actually like the knitted Uniqlo dress better. I think it suits you and am not sure the party dress does so much. Perhaps it needs heels. I don't know anything about fashion though, just what I like. I'm sure other people will think differently. Or maybe its your Avant Garde photography skills that show the first dress to better advantage...

TheOrigRights · 05/11/2021 19:44

Well I have no clue. I dress up precisely once a year, if that.

OP posts:
Naaaaah · 05/11/2021 19:56

You have great legs!

UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme · 05/11/2021 20:07

That's two of us who have no clue, but you look great in the Uniqlo knitted dress, black tights and boot/s (maybe two Grin ).

I’m 5ft 2 and it’s fine on me

I like it. With that dress I'd wear any of these (which I own)

Red patent pointed ballet flats
Red patent high heeled Mary Janes
Green suede mid heeled courts
Red suede mid heeled courts
Pink suede mid heeled courts
Very high gold lace pumps
I wouldn't wear navy or black

MargosKaftan · 06/11/2021 11:56

I bought 2 of that dress last year, and yes, I lived in them! I got one in dark pink and one in cream. I was hoping they'd do it again this year and am terribly annoyed they are out of stock. I sized up. They do wash well, but are looking a bit tired this year, however I did wear them at least once a week. So comfy and perfect for putting with leggings boots and big coat for last years outdoorsy social life. Not itchy, even though I'm sensitive to the wool itch.

TooMinty · 06/11/2021 18:00

Really @slipperyeel? I love a jumper dress so might give it a go!
