If you don't knwo what the term means resist the urge to come on and bleat about
" do you all dress up for the school run how vacuous you all are"
because you don't know what we are talking about.
Go and talk to Lyra bink oops and whoever else or sit in the hun buggy shed.

Who is "we"?
Nasty OP.
Nasty Dress.

SuperMario · 01/03/2009 11:22

The school runners!

I don't like that dress and it is waaaay over-priced.

Disenchanted3 · 01/03/2009 11:38

Its horrible.
Colour is garish.

Looks more like '18-30 holiday in Ibiza dress' to me.

Who is 'we'?

BandMeeting · 01/03/2009 11:39

No. Don't like it

Fimbo · 01/03/2009 11:40

God that is hideous

cornsilk · 01/03/2009 11:40

It is a bit too short - I don't want to show my knees! Find me a dress that will do for the school run and also for going to work in please supermario.

SuperMario · 01/03/2009 11:40

Garish.
It's a summer dress!

Fimbo · 01/03/2009 11:41

And I think your op is a tad ott and slightly nasty.

BriansAmazingBeard · 01/03/2009 11:41

awful

mollyroger · 01/03/2009 11:42

I know about school run dresses. I got a battering for finding one last year and starting a thread. But even hippy slatterns need a school run dress. But it was ace. And only a tenner.

Putting all ethical thoughts aside, i shall be looking in H&M. much cheapness, many bargains.

rubyslippers · 01/03/2009 11:42

the dress is as horrid as the OP

mollyroger · 01/03/2009 11:43

I don't like turquoise. I like green though. Or that teal colour.

cornsilk · 01/03/2009 11:44

I like turquoise with a tan.

BathTub · 01/03/2009 11:44

I was in white stuff yesterday, kept thinking "this would be cheaper in H and M"
It's like thinking " this can't ONLY be a pound" in poundland.

Fimbo · 01/03/2009 11:44

Is there any likelihood of having a summer though, to warrant purchasing a school run dress?

cornsilk · 01/03/2009 11:46

True fimbo - that's why I want dresses which can double up as work gear!

BathTub · 01/03/2009 11:46

Its a tradition isn't it? to buy summer clothes and not wear them.

mollyroger · 01/03/2009 11:46

Fimbo, don't quote me, but I did hear we might be due a hot one this year. Something to do with having been in a cycle of warm, wet and windy for the past few years and this year the government looking at Hot weather payments for the vulnerable...

lucy678 · 01/03/2009 11:47

hot and wet.

I suppose what you need is a school run dress and a nice brolly.

mollyroger · 01/03/2009 11:52

I have sevral nice brollies! But all of them are shoite in the wind. Which we get a lot of in my town...

JackieNo · 01/03/2009 11:54

I quite like the colour (for summer - bit much atm), but would prefer a dress with sleeves, I think. But then my perfect school run dress is bound to be different to someone else's, who has a different shape/budget/lifestyle.

mollyroger · 01/03/2009 11:56

That's terribly diplomatic jackie... But what I want is for people (supermario?) to post more pictures of dresses so we can argue debate this important issue! I mean, it's almost March.
