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?

no the red print one good and casual (comes with green flowers too) and the black simple one could be dressed down with flip flops etc...

Others a bit more dressy I agree.

I bought girl clothes, a dress, two in fact, and sandals.

I might wear sandals today for school run, gently does it and all that.

Exfolliating first helps. Then rub Nivea milk all over, let it sink in. Then the fake tan. My favourite, after years of stinky orange-skin disasters, is Clarins. But there must be lots that are just as good but cheaper.

I exfoliate. They ALL leave my orange. Can't afford Clarins.

Luckily, however, it's most often too cold to have your legs out here.

I took back the pink thong bikini and changed it for one of those all in one knitted swimsuits, with stripes, ala 1800s. Much more suitable!

so true, Cap.

i haven't seen anyone in a dress up here unless it's got boots under it or combined with a jacket with a work blazer underneath.

never seen anyone in shorts - i did see some in Edinburgh sometimes. not often. the two or three days it was warm enough.

i go without suncream. nope, don't have any wrinkles, either.

one advantage of olive skin .

it takes a LOT of sun to damage sun skin.

and Scotland ain't got it , especially Western Scotland.
