A Dress Named After Me...

It ranks amongst the highlights of this blog - the day a dress was named after me! Ruth, the owner over at Room 31 told me the exciting news a few weeks ago but I delayed ordering my one...thinking it would never sell out...but it did! Thankfully, Ruth was able to get some more in stock and I ordered up my size 12. 
Yes, the Midi Dress bug has well and truly bitten me. It's fabulous being dressed in one step, without the need for a massive tanning session. Add flat pumps, denim jacket and a contrast scarf and I was good to go on the school run. 
Midi Dress - Room 31
Denim Jacket - M&S (similar)
Scarf - eBay (similar)
Pumps - Clarks
Oh and Amber over at Twentymumthing ordered one too - doesn't she look great in hers also. I hadn't thought of wearing tights with mine but it works great as well - so this dress will take us into Autumn/Winter too.
Super comfy and do you know what both myself and Fiona at Avenue 57 discovered about these midi dresses....men LOVE them! What a nice way to start the day :)
Not many sizes left - you can order yours via this link and remember to use SGS25 at the till for 25% off!

    1. Yes, I'm a total convert - thought they were just for 20-somethings but it appears not...or if they are, I don't care! x

  4. Omg Avril that is so cool! (I'm aware I sound like a 14yo with that last sentence) I have a few midi skirts but no dresses so I may just have to order one to see what all the fuss is about. Both you and Fiona look great in yours!

    1. Sounds like your totes jel!! Haha...I can do 14yo talk too :) Saw you in your midi skirt this week and I think you'd look fab in a midi dress too. You've certainly got the figure for it. x

  5. What a great honour to have a dress named after you Avril - you do look fabulous in it too. I must admit to being tempted to trying the midi trend this year. I felt it hadn't suited me, but I may now give it another go! XXX

    1. I could send you one Martha - just say. They would be really inexpensive to post as they are really light. I'll message you on FB in case you don't see this x
