The Dress I HAD to Have.

People who follow me on twitter know it was love at first sight when I saw this dress on the Peacocks website. Up until that point I didn’t know I was a fan of the Peter Pan collar that seems to be doing the rounds, but I promised myself that if our tiny local store managed to get the dress in stock, I’d buy it.

The next day?! I walked past…and there it was.

MINE.

I wore it for work yesterday. Comfortable and flattering, I now want the animal print version too!
