Something I threw on...

...what I enjoy about the fashion shows are the polarisation of views. One of us loves x another hates it etc.etc. The fact is most of what we like is subjective initially and then after a while it becomes more everyday so we tend to not think of it in the same way.

Opinions change. Last week I was so upset with the Prada show but to date for as long as I can remember Prada has been directional in some form or another. So will I come to appreciate what I instinctively dislike?

My offering today might frighten some, even though I think it is a perfectly safe number. It is truly a something you can throw on. The knock knock of the door and it is the ruddy DHL/UBS/Cityline/Parcelforce person and you are in your undies post shower - you can pull this on in a jiffy. Or...you've got to meet your friends/acquaintances for coffee and you have no will to make the effort ...again you can throw this on. Dinner party guests and so on.

I know what you are going to say..oh my stomach or my thighs or my bottom, bust, arms ...well what ever the issue forget it. Pull it on over tights or leggings and fiddle around a bit (the side ruching is genius trust me), sigh and apply lippy ...out of the door.

  2. It is fabulous! I imagine that most shapes could wear that and still look incredibly sexy. xxx

  4. And it's probably stretchy enough to ride a bike in - with black opaques of course!

  5. Oh I think it's lovely. I like a dress that you can tweak a bit.

  6. I agree - totally love it. 3/4 length sleeves are almost always flattering, as are slash necks. And the ruching makes it a more wearable body-con. Great choice.

  9. You must be a mind-reader! The first thing I thought was "But my J-Lo butt!" I'll put that to the side and try it anyway.

    Thanks for the inspiration girl!
