Shopping My Wardrobe

A Simple Dress


One of my favourite colours, if you can call it a colour, is grey. 

I also love stripes.

Put the two together and you may even see me in a dress.

As long as it is not too fussy!

Please forgive the grimace in these photos. The children decided to join me and poke fun at the proceedings .
Speaking to hyper daughter through gritted teeth.

Son number two then decided he could do a better job with the camera than the tripod so we had the.....

"No feet photo."



The "no feet and no top of head photo."


 And the "Phone in the Picture Photo" courtesy of Only Daughter!

    I am loving gray (and teal, and orange, ha) right now and have bought a few pieces recently in this color. This is a great dress. Looks like you'll be able to do a lot with it.
    So cool that your kids are involved in your photo process.

    Great t-shirt dress for summer! All my pictures for my blog are taken by my twin sons, they take turn actually. But depending on their mood, sometimes the pictures were bad and I had to edit them or re-shoot! Well, they are a sport to do this. You might just fond yourself a photographer :)

    Love the grey and white striped dress and pretty necklace, and love the kids' photos. I'd say that they're about as good as my husband is at taking pictures! Too cute.
    I'm in grey and white stripes in my photo as well, but with a touch of yellow :)
