Jumper Dress

I have loved this dress for as long as I've had it (couple of years now). Today in the style challenge set up by Modern Mummy it's 'dress'. I could have chosen one of the 14 million day dresses I have but I am working from home and attempting to monitor 4 children whilst aiming to keep the husband (working from home also) in a room away from the noise that said 4 children will make! Fortunately the children are 3 boys aged 10, 9 and 6 and a little girl of 4 (this I think will be wear the 'working from home' is going to fail!).

Wearing a jumper dress is literally like wearing a jumper so for me it ticks all the requirements of comfort/style/ease of wearing etc etc.

You don't need to pay a lot for a jumper dress and here are some ideas for you from a variety of online stores if you want to buy one too.

ASOS - £35



ASOS - £35


Karen Millen - £115



Mango - £22.99



River Island - £50





Here I am in mine:
Dress H&M (years old)
Scarf New Look (years old)
Jacket TK Maxx (years old)
Model tired (and years old)!



Have you got a jumper dress? They are perfect for vile days like today!

  5. and perfect with your teenie wee little physique! The sales are here, my-wardrobe has Ash wedge trainers for 80 quid, can't even buy the knock offs for that, are they an investment or have they had their day?

    1. I can't get on with wedge trainers - I look like I am wearing orthopedic shoes!
      £80 is a bargain!

    1. £80 is a lot for a jumper dress! I want a new one that isn't as tight as this one

  8. You look lovely in yours but it's wonderfully suited to your frame. I have lady lumps and I seem to have acquired a few more since Christmas day.

    Happy belated New Year to you Fiona! Look forward to seeing you in March!
