A simple cocoon dress

Inspired by VB (again) in a simple black dress and heels walking through JFK I am excited for the summer ahead and wearing this look a lot. Forget the heels (I mean really, does she REALLY walk around the airport in those or do you think she gets a buggy/cart thing? - I suspect the latter).

 Here she is in hers looking tip top amazing


Here are my top picks

 ASOS - £18 (was £30)


Mango - £34.99

 Miss Selfridge - £25 (was £39)
River Island - £45

 Gap - £36.99 (was £44.95

What have I been wearing?

 Out of my comfort zone in harem pants but I LOVE THEM. The husband HATES them more than I can tell you!

And then I dropped a bottle of wine on my foot (bottle was full and it hurt - A LOT, even today (3 days later) I cannot walk properly or wear shoes well. These ballet pumps were the only pair I could squeeze my foot into and it was only because we were out for lunch that I HAD to put something on. They came off at every opportunity and I walk bare foot to our friends house for dinner that evening - classy.



Hope everyone is having a good bank holiday

 Fiona

    I love a Cocoon dress they are perfect for my body shape. Oh your poor toe although I did laugh when I read it on FB but it was more the way you said it and the way I visualised you walking dragging your foot! Hope it heals soon. Have a lovely Bank Holiday! xx

    Youch ... that looks sore! You poor thing (hope the bottle didn't smash?!) I think the Asos dress looks closest to Mrs B's look. I've also been admiring some lovely cocoon crepe dresses in Mango at the moment.

    Heck Fiona was it a magnum you dropped ? Your toes look seriously bruised !!
    It must be a male thing in general with harem pants.
    Love the necklace - thats cool !

    Ow Fiona!!! That looks super sore! I love the harems on you - both you and Avril have finally taken the plunge! I've bought the top version of the Mango dress - I love it - I have so many dresses though from Asos I need to wear them before ordering more! The cocoon shift that I bought at Xmas is still going strong and it is super easy to wear xx

    I love VB's outfit. Maybe you need a trolley cart thing until the foot is better! Xxx

    Ouch Again!!! Makes me wince every time I see your' poor tootsies. I like VB in her dress because it isn't too voluminous. I think this Asos one is pretty close. I don't think any man likes harem pants. H xx
