I spy with my little eye....

.....The Great Big Dress Sale from Baukjen.  Just when you thought the sales were over, I bring you one last (well, hopefully not) gem.  

A little bird told me yesterday that this morning, they are launching a massive discount section for some of their signature dresses.  Massive as in they're only £30.  Yup, you read that right £30. 

I always have Baukjen dresses on the blog when I look at dresses as they are such a no brainer for pretty much ever dress occasion.  I know that loads of you love them - on Twitter, they always seem to be the go to dress that people drag out of their wardrobes, or sneak into their shopping bags, to solve that dress dilemma for so many occasions.

As one who has recently discovered a dress addiction but has also found out that dress shopping is up there with trying to choose bathroom tiles or wood flooring (seems like it should be an easy option but when it comes down to it, oh my lord it's just so hard), when you find a style of dress that you works, buy it.  And buy it in more than one colour or style variation.

One of the reasons I think dresses are so hard to buy is that, if you're not used to wearing them (like me), then finding one which suits the occasions for which you'll need it, is blooming difficult.  What looks great on another person, or hell, even looks great on you - if you have no occasion to wear it, then what's the point. 

The key, in my opinion, is to try and a dress that will work on multiple occasions 

Too dressy, too short, too much dry cleaning involved..... but love the jersey dresses from Baukjen - ideal for dressing up or down, throw on a blazer and sneakers or ankle boots for dress down day wear.  Heels and your bling for a night out. 

And if you've not been sure before, at £30 it's the perfect opportunity to try them out.   Whenever I mention them on a blog they always get such positive feedback so I thought some of you might appreciate a quick heads up at the beginning of the sale.

Only decision is which one to go for..... My picks would be:-

As we've been talking about jumper dresses - 

Paola Dress in Putty Melange was £95 now £30  Definitely top of my list - am thinking with navy and or black for the A/W.  Or with winter whites and leopard prints.  Opaques and ankle boots and a cocoon coat or a fitted crombie style.  I'd even wear over jeggings with a fitted blazer and flats.  (oh do I have some flats to bring you shortly as well....) 

Also in the Iris Blue for winter - gorgeous at £30


Also in Iris Blue is the Sardinia Shirt dress was £109 now £30


The Daria Dress always proves very very popular - in three colours - here it is in the Dahlia pink for £30 was £89



As does the classic black Jersey Drape Dress was £119 now £30


Also available in the Dahlia pink, Cobalt Blue and the Quartz Grey  was £119 now £30




There are loads more styles to choose from - all for £30 for a limited time so go forth and see if there's anything that takes your fancy. 

So we're still on hols - The Husband had to go back for work yesterday so I'm flying solo with the three kids.  It's at the this point, I do have a new found respect for single mums, hats off to anyone who does it on their own 24/7.  And it's probably easier on hols as well as no time constraints and we can do whatever is (ie I find...) the least likely activity to cause (my) meltdown.

Fingers crossed it's not raining and we can head off to the beach.  Here is my outfit from the other day, able to do monochrome thanks to the Hush Collingwood jumper in black and white.  The 9 yr old put this filter on - definitely fancying herself as a bit of a photographer in the making.
