Wtf is a "school run dress"?

[TooTicky]

Do you actually change clothes to drop off/pick up at school?
Who are you trying to impress?
Do you have nothing more important to think about?

• I was curious about that !

I love reading about 'school run dresses' - for me it's like watching a very escapist tv series where everyone looks lovely all the time.

Eh?!?

All this talk of summer dresses is making me sweat

Won't any old sun dress do, really? Obv not one that show bum and too much clea-ver-age.

My SIL generally drops her DD off at school in pj bottoms, puts a posh top over the top of it, prays she has no reason to get out of the car.

tbh my office is full of slobs has a casual dress code so I wear them to work in the summer, but cannot flash bra so wide straps are important.

lol thread title... I konw what you mean, TT. I was thinking that around here there are 2 types... those trying to look smart and those sneering at those who overdo it when they try to look smart.

I am well out of all that, though, being at the bottom of the social pecking order as the perenially scruffy, of course.

Er, Cod, is there a piccie of you in a bikini somewhere? Coz you won't find one of me over the age of 10 (& I have a good figure, bikinis & sunbathing just not my style).

but we had about 4 scorchio days last year

they don't warrant a whole new wardrobe

Cod you make it sound like it's sunny all the time. It's not round ours. it's never ever sunny.

Agree with dresses for large of nork are a nightmare. (36f) Anything without shape makes me look preggers, as it hangs off my boobs.

I explained to DH that a pair of my flipflops were "school run flipflops" and he spluttered "you have a pair of flipflops just for the school run?"

You mean you don't all go to the hairdresser at 2.45pm every afternoon?

YOu know what I am getting desperate house wife images in my head - loungers, sunglasses, hats and magazines.

My kids would have me off the lilo, in the water nad looking bedraggled in no time - pah

so do none of you gawkers wear dresses then? or do the school run?
