Fashion faux pas?

[farfalle]

Bought this www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B001QKA0WQ/sr=1-15/qid=1240844800/ref=sr_1_15/277-5281427-4956756 ?ie=UTF8&node=&m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&keywords=&mnSBrand=core&size=9&rh=n%3A43023030&page=2 at the weekend and wore it with a long sleeve tee over skinny jeans today. Do you think it's too dressy for a SAHM. One Mum let me know that she'd bought it for a night out and I was wearing it during the day. I really like the top but won't have any "social" occasion to wear it and so bought it and wore it anyway. Was I wrong and am I so far removed from current fashions that I've made a huge faux pas?

I don't think you've made a fashion faux pas - she was probably just jealous.

I have recently joined the school of thought that clothes are for wearing so now wear much 'dressier' clothes during the day as I know that I am never going to be wearing them on a night out! I don't want them to be hanging in the wardrobe unworn.

I agree with MissisBoot. Some people think that the only acceptable daywear is made of fleece. Don't be one of them. I bet you look fab

i like it very much but i know why you are asking the question - i dont think i would wear it in the day because of the sparkly top bit

but i dont think that is necessarily right - too many people wear drab boring clothes so why not wear somehting that makes you smile and look good?

I'm the opposite - I have a lovely top that I only wear on nights out - saw a mum dropping off at dance class on Sat morning wearing it with jeans, and she looked fab.

I used to buy things and save them for a night out, never go anywhere and then they'd be out of fashion.
Wear it with pride, it is lovely

I think it's lovely. And if you're comfortable wearing it in daytime (I would be) then just ignore nutter woman.

The only thing that would put me off is the shininess of the top bit.

I bought this as maternity day wear.

Am quite liking current M&S stuff, some of it is quite funky.

Phew! Was beginning to think I'd really lost the plot. Needless to say I'm in comfy, slouch mode now I'm home!

I woudlnt wear in day.

Hobbgoblin - I am so jealous as I've been trying to get my little paws on that Mary Poppins dress for ages. I have tried many stores and have only ever seen it once: the had one left, in a size 16 when I probably need a 10.

Oh well, mine is a 10 and may not fit much longer. Have only worn twice as it is?! Shall I CAT you when my bump threatens to explode?

Sorry - only just seen this. Better not - I am trying to be 'good' and not buy any new clothes right now. Congratulations on the bump!
