Missoni my way means = Sustainable, ethical, more affordable, and beautifully made the Boden way

I LOVE THIS DRESS. I can't stop prancing around and swooshing in it! My favourite dress of 2020! Couldn't be more perfect, and especially for my 50th year. Happiness-factor is through the roof.

Waving at my '70s style sisters Sal, Suz and Brooklyn!

Great fit, stunning knitwear quality, lined, very comfortable, and bought on discount. My colours, love the bold stripes and chevron makes a nice '70s change. A bit of lurex glitz because I like shine.

All the dark you see here is navy - not black. Even the underside of the turquoise coat collar is navy.

The dress can be styled is soooo many ways. It works with sooooo much in my wardrobe because my palette - although colourful - is very deliberately thought out over many years of accumulation. Most things match most things, which makes outfit creation easy. I love remixing old with new!

This is an everyday city dress for me because it's extremely comfortable and unfussy. It doesn't matter that it's dressy because that's who I am. It's also machine washable, so more practical than you might expect.

I will wear it to work at home - maybe tomorrow! - as well as go out, work with clients, and walk Sam in the city (which I do many times a day). That is..... when we eventually go out and I work with clients in person again. Life is still very restricted in Seattle.

But the dress won't go on outdoorsy trails and beach runs with my boys

I've shown the dress with my new navy shearling and turquoise coats so that you could see those too. Old tall navy boots which I've dusted off, and signature leather Chucks hi-tops that are wardrobe essentials for my style. I have every colour bag represented in the chevron stripes, but here are the blush and watermelon to keep it simple.

Thanks for looking! xo
