This week it’s a Dress Monday

It’s a dress day for Cyndy and I this Monday. However much fashion designers and pundits are trying to wean us off dresses and back to separates, a dress is just so EASY. If it works, it works; there’s no wondering about proportion or matching top half to bottom half.

I am wearing a Jaeger dress in black and blue silk. I bought it last season, but it has proved the most useful dress ever and has come out for boardroom lunches, my QVC audition, our Dragon’s Den appearance and – literally – dozens of other events. It works alone, under a jacket or under a Chanel-style cardi. The black suede shoe-boots are from Office, the black bangle is from the Victoria & Albert Museum gift shop, and the necklace is from H&M.

Cyndy is rocking a fabulous dress in gold slub linen with cross-over bodice, by Apanage. Those stunning platform sandals are from Zara and the statement glass beads are by Antica Murrina of Venice, but bought in Melbourne by her lovely husband as a gift.
