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 couldn't wear a bikini: I'd just lie on the sun lounger weeping and wondering where my lithe youthful bod had gone.

Puffling, I do, I do!

I didn't appreciate my youthful bod at the time, I am just enjoying the one I have

For some reason, I have never 'done' bikinis, or swimwear in general actually.

Frankly I struggle to see the point in being female unless you can wear dresses at least 57% of the time.

Otherwise you may as well just grow a beard and be done with it.

dear ogds, only on MN could people get sniffy about whether one ''does the school run'' or whether one opts to ''get the kids from school''.
We're not judging all you skankers who go out in public in bikini tops - or worse. So leave us nice summer dress wearers to discuss our highly important mission.

It is a school run when you're late though.

that's my 10 minutes toot don't knock it

Don't get what is wrong with wearing a dress for doing the school run or the shopping or the cleaning TBH. And I think jeans are overworn in this country especially in summer.

Nothing wrong with wearing dresses, just struggling with the idea of a dedicated "school run dress".

ditto

School run dress = tattie sack, tied at the waist with left over present wrap string.......

Ah you laugh tooticky but I do indeed have "hangthewashingoutflipflops" they are kept in a cupboard in the utility especially. Although they have been known to multi-task to "waterthepotsflipflops". I am just on the cusp of swapping from wellies to flipflops for these purposes.

But at least there is a purpose Bozza

somebody in marketing dreamed this up
if you buy a dress with the phrase "school run dress" in your head I put it to you that you are a slave to marketing and deep background consumer manipulation

I think Cod dreamed it up, stuffit. Not sure she's in marketing though...

good lord
if true then her power runs deep and mysterious

yy - I think so. I think it's purely a MN term - haven't seen it anywhere else.

Big fat sigh...cod dreamed up the phrase. I am getting tired of explaining....
I used the phrase in a thread title as I knew cod would laugh, when I saw a dress i wanted and thought''OMG, this is what cod means by a school-run dress!)

I just meant I had found a nice summer dress.

This will teach me to try and play in the style threads. I'll stick to vegetables, mooncups and lentil-weaving. I know my place.

Where do you stand vis-a-vis mooncups? .

My Boden polo shirt-type dress arrived yesterday. Bargainous at £16, and perfect school run material IMO. It is definitely my new "throw on over a swimsuit on holiday" dress, in any case .
