Thanks The Cat - on the mend now!
Thank you Carla - I think it is a little bit more oversized than it looks in the photos (width wise) but I still think it works.
Ryce - I was going to wear today but it was so wet and soggy I ended up wearing jeans...boring!
NemosMom - I think the length just doesn't quite work on me. I have always liked either below the knee or longer, or if above the knee, a proper mini length (I am the same with shorts).
Fashintern - I have always liked black and brown (my Mum had a very cool 70s skirt in black and brown zig zag)... But I think that it was a bit unusual (like red and pink, or black and navy). I won't do Sally's challenge - I do have other black dresses but only one that is work suitable. I will enjoy seeing her do it though!
