I ordered from the Rack. I almost never do because returns are a pain where I live, but I thought I'd give a few items a try.

Here are the dresses. What do you think?

First up, Angie's (and Jane's) Free People dress, marked down considerably so a real steal. I like it a lot! (She says that like she's surprised when it was an Angie recommendation. Duh!!) It needs a good steam out of the bag but I think the fit is right and It seems easy to wear. Do you like?

Next, a Lafayette dress in linen and cotton. This one was on major mark-down. A more expensive dress to begin with, so more expensive than the Free People on sale as well, but we are talking quality.

Is it too "ticking stripe" do you think? I actually like ticking stripe, but you know what I am saying. The quality and fit are gorgeous, I have to say. Beautiful fabric and finishing.

It's quite long on me, though, so really needs a bit of a heel. And maybe too "work-like" for someone who works from home?

(I make it sound as if I don't like this dress, but actually, I really do.)

If I keep, these will replace a Topshop dress and one of my worn out Boden dresses.
