A New Purchase for Spring!

Hello my lovelies. 

 Yes, you heard right in the title, a purchase!

Me, whose wardrobe contents span 25 years, buying something!

Yup, this dress got me to dip my hands in my purse, almost instantly.   For I see this as the perfect dress. 

Let me count the ways that make it so.

It’s one-and-done speedy wear.

It is such easy-wear and comfy. 

It’s jersey, doesn’t crease.

It’s jersey, needs no ironing. 

It’s jersey, so for all seasons. 

Calf length, my sweet spot length. 

Body/waist-skimming flattering shape, with no silly flounces, smocking or tiers to add bulk to an already bulky body. 

Shirt style to dress up or casualise.

A year-round colour and print.

Looks equally good with tights, boots and a cardi in autumn/winter and sandals, bare legs and arms in spring/summer. 

The neutral shape, length and colour allow it to transcend trends, making it a classic dress with longevity. 

And it’s got pockets!

So that’s 12 reasons why it’s my perfect dress, and maybe yours too. 

You can use my “reasons” as a mental checklist when searching out a really good dress that can work its little socks off in your wardrobe, questions you can ask yourself in the fitting room.  I hope you find these guidelines helpful when shopping for a dress staple. 

This is how it’s supposed to look, on a “normal” body shape!

It comes in other colour ways too.
