I would be over here, drooling

dexter73 · 07/10/2008 09:41

I think it is a great dress and would be very versatile. It's not too much for everyday wear.
Definitely buy it!

Nbg · 07/10/2008 09:41

I'd like a few bits but not really bothered.

I wasnt sure of it at first either cod..but had nowt to wear yesterday morning, couldnt be arsed doing washing over the weekend, and the dress was too low cut to wear with nothing underneath it.Would normally have worn with a long sleeve T layered underneath but it was dirty so couldnt.Was thus forced into polo neck (on merit of having seen it in Grazia) and will now not look back.
Will draw line at folky furry gilet though which allegedly is a key look this season.Looks too like you are being mauled by an Afghan hound IMO.

Nbg · 07/10/2008 09:43

Oooh I am so pleased you all think its ok.

Never thought of wearing with jeans either.

I quite fancy some jeans but the leg lengths give me a vertigo attack.

it'd last a damn sight longer than somethng from Primark

Nbg · 07/10/2008 09:49

I have ummed and ahhed over the coat and bag thing cap. Atm I don't wear a coat, just layers because I get so hot pushing the pushchair about. Even when its freezing and the bags, as much as I love them, I don't use one because of the dreaded nappy bag.

I do love a D&G one on there though.

Cod, only boots I have are uggs, fry ones, a light brown pointed stilettos, some embellished cowboy ones.

I do want some dark grey or black flat boots.

Love your choices nbg apart from the shoes, which I think would be fine with jeans but not the gorgeous spotty dress.

I love that dress. Esp with polo underneath.

Would try and find different shores, say flat knee high boots.

bozza · 07/10/2008 09:55

I like the dress but it is a bit short for what I would wear. So i would probably wear it with jeans and ballet flats. Well actually I wouldn't wear it at all because of the £££.

Nbg · 07/10/2008 09:55

Ok then

Visitor boots lol

or

buckle boots

Note the price difference though.
