The Lady of the Hundred Dresses.



I was driving home the other night and debating what to wear this weekend, which got me thinking about dresses. I have a LOT of dresses. I wear dresses almost every day - they're comfortable, pretty, and so easy to accessorize. Tights, cardi = DONE.


A little while ago I counted all the dresses in my wardrobe and the total was OVER FIFTY. Pretty shocking. And then it occurred to me that I have enough dresses in my possession to wear a different dress every week for a year. Over a year. And that little thought turned into...

F R I D A Y - F R O C K S!!

Every Friday, I have decided, I'm going to post one of my dresses. And then probably talk about it a bit.


I'm infatuated with this spotty H&M number. It's actually quite recent - so you may still be able to find it. I'm still at that stage where I want to wear it all the time. And it goes with everything. Belt, or no belt. Black, purple, grey, maroon tights. Heels or boots. Day or night. And it ALWAYS gets compliments.

I wore this last weekend to a friend's birthday celebrations in London. It was casual and comfortable enough to see me through an afternoon's pottering, but smart enough to last through a night of karaoke.

Accessorised with Miss Selfridge butterfly ring and handmade necklace.




I think I've found my Christmas Day dress. :)

  5. That's a brilliant idea! I think I'm the same, a dress means that you don't have to both thinking what will match the bottom half, and it's really comfy (especially around christmas when you can wear those smock ones to squeeze in that extra bit of pudding.. or is that just me?)
    I digress, I'm really looking forward to reading these posts because this dress is lovely, have you read the book that you pictured first?

    Rachel, I haven't read the book - that's actually a greetings card! I'd like to, though - the title is just so me!
