Can I wear a maxi dress on the school run?

Or will it look a bit OTT? Would I look a bit bonkers?

I have my eye on this, but dunno when else I'd wear it. I do love it though and want an excuse to buy it!

You see people wearing: nurses outfits, formal outfits, blue all in ones with paint on them, tacky cheap looking outfits, sometimes they come dressed up... no one bats an eyelid in England, so who cares?

wish it was..

Just for the record I do not plan what to wear for the school run until the very morning I get dressed...

It is a day dress so I started wondering (before spending any money on something I would never actually wear!) whether I would look a bit mad if I wore it when picking the children up!

Thanks for all your replies btw...

If you like it, 'course you can! Speaking as someone whose wardrobe consists of work uniform and jeans, I'd say take any opportunities to wear whatever you like!

Do it do it do it.

Must I repeat myself?

JeanPoole · 14/04/2009 09:22

some people might think its ott, but i say if you like it and it makes you happy wear it.

TrillianAstra · 14/04/2009 09:26

If I had that dress I would look like this every time I wore it.

ByTheSea · 14/04/2009 09:33

I often wear long skirts so I don't see a problem. Go for it.

JeanPoole · 14/04/2009 09:36

lol trill

TrillianAstra · 14/04/2009 09:42

I dont have any dresses like that but I think I am going to wear a long skirt today just because I can.

Can I be very rude and say come over here and tell me what you are wearing?
