Sunny Days and a Simple Jersey Dress

I had the legs properly out for the first time this year. So not this dressing up and prancing around on the landing in a dress business but out out. Like out of the door out. On went my little blue fine stripe H&M jersey dress (£7.99). It's quite a thin jersey, plain but comfy and doesn't blow up when the wind fancies a nosey up your skirt. I got this last year but they're doing them again this year but in different colours (so no blue ones like mine) and of course they are not online. A plain black one might be on the cards at some point. Might be.

This is how I wore it for chilling out with the boys at home. Less is more.

But for those who don't subscribe to less is more - try a Moonstone lariat necklace. This dress doesn't call for a neon bling number - just something a little more subtle in tone. I know there's a lot of people out there who like that little extra something and don't mind a bit of jingle jangle to pull an outfit together. Looks a bit more finished now? Rather than "grabbed first thing I could find?".

That's a "I'm concentrating on getting an in focus shot" rather than "misery guts" face.

It's quite a useful little dress because it is so simple. Perfect for the school run teamed with Converse and a little saddle bag. I'm still feeling good about ordering my Zatchels bag in navy - it's working well for me in this colour. No regrets. But still wish it had a magnetic fastening.

And it works brilliantly as a little holiday dress. Use your imagination and pretend that I'm in Spain wandering down one of the little cobbled streets going "perdon! perdon!", trying to find my way back to the hotel.

Or for a more of a wander around the city shops look ..... different necklace, different shoes, different bag.

So it would appear a nice simple jersey dress can tick quite a few boxes. Here's a few which have caught my eye too and could be worn in a similar vein. They don't look like very much but that's the beauty of them - it's for you to do what you like. And I wouldn't say no to any of them if they were to make their way in to my wardrobe.

So do you have a little do it all day dress?

Last note.

• For some reason, when I was small, my family had a small Spanish phrase book which I tried to learn Spanish from. The only thing I can remember from it is "Ten cuidado con las medusas" which I believe translates as "watch out for the jelly fish". Weird. A little. It's funny what sticks in my little mind.
