Wtf is a "school run dress"?

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?

school run dress? what the fuck? also it was always too cold for just a dress, unless it was a fleecy one.

Wonder at anyone who actually "dresses" for the school run. I go in whatever I'm wearing. In the morning, usually jeans, t-shirt, trainers, no make-up, hair in ponytail.

This is the first year of school.

Summer hadn't arrived in Paris by the end of last term (we are on holiday right now) so I don't know yet whether fur coats will carry on into summer.

Said mother has already displayed many pairs of sunglasses though.

tooticky I beg to differ

I often wear a dress/skirt to do the school run, paired with wellies or sometimes silver shoes

because it pains me to wear shit all the time

I have plenty of stiles, mud, cow shit around here - a cotton dress washes as well as jeans

Well I plan to be naked most of the summer, if weather permits, so I'd NEED something to slip into

Enid is actually the woman from the Tesco

the one who comes to the party on the horse and then gets another dress out of her bag
