If you wear white trainers with dresses in the summer what do you wear in autumn/winter/spring?

It doesn't feel cold enough for boots.

Also – can anybody recommend a good home hair dye. I dyed my hair on Saturday with an Excellence dye and the colour is already fading. I have ( naturally) have very dark brown hair but now am probably 70-80% grey

Thank you

I wear slides with midi dresses in summer and trainers throughout autumn winter. For work I usually just wear the dresses with some Chelsea boots.

Can't recommend anything for your dye issues, sorry.

I still wear boots, I don't like shoes that much other than trainers. Mainly Air & Grace Jessa boots, or some beige suede ankle boots from M&S.
I have stopped dying my hair, it's only about 10% grey, but the grey bits were coming through so quickly after dying it was ridiculous. There are a lot of nice facebook groups, like Silver Sisters, if you want to embrace your silvers.

I wear ankle boots with dresses, I don't wear midi dresses though, only above the knee dresses.
I use Loreal casting cream gloss semi permanent hair dye, I've gone down a few shades and wear 500 light brown. My hair is/was naturally very dark almost black. I prefer the semi permanent as it gradually fades so you don't get the huge grey line of regrowth as you do with a permanent dye, and for me it's much more flattering. I've been using the semi for 6 months now and I won't go back to permanent unless I have too.

Another vote here for L'Oréal Casting Creme Gloss semi-permanent dye. My hair was originally dark brown (I'm now 80-90% white/grey) and I've used various mid/dark brown shades over the years. Good quality product, leaves hair in great condition and is also reasonably priced.
