International Wear a Dress A Day Week

I am still hearing from bloggers who took part in The Second Annual Capsule Wardrobe Challenge but are still to finish.
Therefore, I have decided to delay my round-up until the end of next week when the winner will be announced.
I have designated next week as International Wear A Dress A Day Week in honour of the fantastic finds I have had recently.
Womens dresses are always the first section I select when trawling a new website and it is the dress racks I head to first.
Yesterday, at my local TK Maxx I found two Noa Noa dresses reduced to £12 each and a dress from Per Una reduced from £45 to £25.
The only problem now is that I have only enough funds for one more winter dress and I can't decide between this one and this one.
And by the way if you live in the Liverpool area I have just had an email from Jess at Dorothy Perkins who tells me that a fashion show to mark the new opening of the Liverpool store in Church Street will take place on Thursday between 6.30pm and 7.30pm with a parade of Hollyoaks stars strutting their stuff along the catwalk.
Maybe I'll see you there.

  1. Hi Jane, I love dresses too, they are so versatile. I like both of your choices, but really think the black polka dot is very classic and will prove to be a very useful piece in your wardrobe. Much love, Heather x

  3. "A Dress a Day" Week... now that is going to be fun. I've missed my dresses during the challenge this past week. I'm in!

    If it were for me, I'd probably go with the polka-dotted dress because I don't look so great in the main color of the other one. And I love polka-dots. But if the other color looks great on you, I'd keep that one, because it seems more distinctive and unusual.

  5. Wow, I'm glad you're delaying the round up! I'm so happy I get to get in on this! And "A Dress A Day" sounds fabulous! Dresses are my staple, but I've been trying to be more adventuresome. I love your blog!

  6. Polks dots! When I looked at the link it showed the lovely neckline and the fact that it is a wrap dress. What's not to like?

  8. Oooh, a dress a day? I am not sure whether I'll be able to play all week long, but I'll certainly break out some favorite dresses!

    Love the polka dot dress best of all.

  10. Heh, every week is Dress Week for me these days. :) I love dresses and have built up a nice collection.

    I adore the polka-dot, but I think you will get more wear out of the patterned one. I bought a polka-dot a while ago, and I found that I always grabbed the plain colored or patterned ones before it, even though I like the polka-dot one just as much. I think because the pattern is so distinctive, it ended up being more of a statement dress than one I felt comfortable wearing every couple of weeks.

  11. I love the print dress!
    since I only own two dresses I could wear during a normal workweek, I'm not the perfect person for a dress a day. (shame it is, since I actually do like dresses, I just never seem to find any that do suit or fit).

    a last word on the challenge, unfortunately, my camera gave up on me on thursday, so I couldn't yet take pictures from my last two outfits. will try to manage that today and would love to be included in your round up.

  12. I love dresses- they don't love me! I can never find a dress that fits right- therefore, I only OWN one dress. I would LOVE to participate, but one dress does not equal a week does it?!

    As for the dresses, I think you will get a lot more versatility and wear out of the polka-dot one. The floral one makes me nervous- the color could very well wash most people out, and the print is 'older' for my tastes.

  13. I don't need any excuse to wear a dress!

    Have you seen the blog with the girl who is wearing just one dress for a year? She has 7 copies of the same dress, and just styling it differently every day, I'll try and find the link...

  16. I wish more women would dress classy more often, it seems women have lost their femininity!
