High Street Pick of the Week

Friday is the new place for old favourite 'High Street Pick of the Week', makes sense if you are popping to the shops of a Friday lunchtime or having a mooch of a Saturday.

My pick this week brings tears to my eyes as I loved it upon sight but realised that I am too old to carry it off or wear it. My tears are those of grief for my misspent youth and the fun and frolics I had. I know I've had many variations of this dress over the years and it reminds me of one Paul Smith did about four years ago which had a pearl encrusted peter pan collar. And before anyone thinks I'm being hard on myself, I'm not. I've got the legs for this dress but I'm too busty these days and *ahem* now I'm in my 40s the effort required to stop any spread is ten fold. Who knew the challenges ahead.

Warehouse have really upped the ante with their design team and this dress is from a range called 'Signature'. At £45 I think it is a great price for those in their 20s. It looks lovely, it is the perfect aspiring Alexa Chung look and get it while you can.

    Beware if you are going to a big event though, at last night's Prima Awards I saw this dress 3 times on different people. That's how much of a great buy it is... everyone is getting it.

    If it makes you feel any better, I've always been too busty for it! :-) But I hear you about the evils of middle aged metabolism...

    Gorg dress- and you're NEVER too old to pull an awesome dress! (Though I would feel frightened just baring my legs so tights are a must for me- but that's just personal issues!)

    I've always loved this style, too, but since I've got bigger 'up top' I just can't pull em off the same, and really I need to keep the emphasis on the waist... I try not to think about what I might be 'too old for', though... xx
