Items to which I am allured

[emma_p]

I love wearing a dress, it's just so easy! A whole outfit, no thinking required. I'm wearing a lot of long dresses and knee boots at the moment too.

I like the shape of that dress and the colours but I personally wouldn't wear that print. I like it on the model though and think you could pull it off!

[Pippedydeadeye]

I think you could wear that print! I do like a Boden print.

[ParisGal]

I like it, you just need to lean into the 70s I think, like the model with her boots.

I have some dream high waisted flared jeans that I've never really been quite slim enough to wear comfortably, but ONE DAY I will have my 70s ensemble. I've been wearing a very thick cotton Seasalt dress which is a very similar cut, and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Sadly can't find any more of them on VInted (it was from an English charity shop about 2 years ago).

I love that print Zoomer. It’s a great 70s dress style which I love.

[Zoomer]

I have that dress in plain navy and I've just bought it in green print. It's very comfortable and I've had a few compliments on it. I say keep it and rock the print!

I was actually thinking of sending it back and getting the plain navy. Might be more useful. I could wear it with my green boots.

Gah! Thank you all, but I still can't decide.

I might have to be brave and show it to J. His feedback is always brutal.

[Little My]

If the style is really good on you, perhaps consider getting both the print AND the plain navy? :shoe:

[Zoomer]

Well, I just showed it to J and he shouted "Slava Ukraini!" so back it goes. :lol:

If my work trip happens soon, I'll get the navy version.

[ParisGal]

:lol:

This sounds like my Laurence Llewellyn Bowen coat

[Hazey_Jane]

I think that would look really nice on you Zooms and 70s prints are cool.

That reminds me of the tweet where someone said she'd worn a purple cape to a family funeral 10 years ago and her brother had called her Bishop Brennan ever since

I would NEVER ask my J for feedback on clothes :lol:

Have we seen the LLB coat? :))

That's nice of you, Hazey, but I don't think I'd be able to get the Ukrainian peasant vibe out of my head now. I'm peasant enough as is.

[ParisGal]

Sadly , due to a similar event to J's Slava Ukraini reaction, it was returned :cry: It was my brother, not MrPG though, who obviously has never heard of LLB.

[Marth]

:lol: I love that.
My Irish work colleague sent me a reel like that

And at Slava Ukraini. :)) I did love the dress though. I never have any idea what to wear now, so I feel your pain. I think because I spend so much time in grey, black, navy and khaki WFH comfort I surprise myself with colours and imagine everyone else is staring at me with as much shock as I feel. :))

[Popprincess]

Slava Ukraini and Bishop Brennan have killed me.

[Dutchie]

Slava Ukraini and Bishop Brennan have killed me.

Me too! :lol: Exactly the sort of thing Mr D would say. He once asked me why I was wearing a curtain (new skirt) and I never really enjoyed wearing it again. Sold it on Vinted and obviously made no mention of curtains in my description!

[lazzbo]

Slava Ukraini has slayed me. :)) I love a Boden dress though, I really do. I have some right garish patterns from 'em, including a huge bird/tree print.

[Popprincess]

Dutchie! :lol:

[Dutchie]

I really need to stop reading threads that make me spend money! Inspired by the Slava Ukraini dress, I have just bought my very first Boden dress. Can't wait till it gets here!
