Are we still allowed to do the dresses with trousers combo this year?

I don't really do dresses in summer (pasty legs) but I do like them. So, will I look very 2007?

have been achieving the desired degree of camouflage by wearing dresses with some seriously thick-ass tights and biker boots. Not quite sure what I'll do when the sun come out though .

Oh god I hate the dress over trousers look. It reminds me of Jar-Jar Binks

snowleopard · 13/04/2008 18:30

Oh no!

But... surely not when it's a really floaty floral-y dress?

just had to check him out to reassure myself. That's hardly a dress at all! (Though from the neck up, you may have a point )

Ah, now there is a fine difference between floaty top and dress. A smidge too long and it's Jar Jar city but a pretty longish floaty top (but not dress length) is ok.

I speak as someone with a 'generous', shall we say, bottom to conceal. God there's an art to it alright.

Fake tan better than dated St tropez everyday airbrush is fab

Well, i think I am jar-jar then

I would confirm this with a JJB-"ism" but I can't as it's just too unbearably cringey

Don't know what Jar Jar Binks is even with a picture clue.
