The 12 outfits of Christmas, day 8 - An easy to wear day dress (with sleeves and which doesn't flash your pants) from &Other Stories

Yesterday we went to see my Mum for a Christmas visit. In a very generous and giving type fashion I took our recycling to put in her (relatively empty, or it was) bin, pinched a "Snowman" kitchen roll and loo roll, scoffed her choccies and mince pies and left. I know, such Christmas spirit!

 I wore this & Other Stories pleated dress now £33, which I bought when we were down in London a couple of weeks ago now. It's a man made fabric but it's quite silky and also fairly thick which is good for me. With its three quarter sleeves, just above knee length and nipped in waist, it's an easy to wear day dress.

And as for a couple of other outfits - this is my favourite New Look "Love" jumper, with just a white shirt layered underneath to break it up a little.

And this is a chunky Jaeger scarf that I've had for a couple of years now, with an M&S coat that I bought new this winter. A great cover up for when whatever lies beneath needs a little work!

 As for the present of the day. How about something in one of these boxes???!!

Wishing you all a really, really, happy, stylish (but comfortable) Christmas. Thank you so much for reading. Oh and speaking of which, I have gained myself a new reader. Mr SG has now subscribed to the blog. To be honest, I didn't think that he would ever be techy enough to manage it but he has so, from now on (if it's all right with all of you) everything is at least 5 years old and if I did buy it new, it was no more than £40. OK? xx
