Monsoon Orange Jersey Jacqueline Dress

I saw this dress in the Monsoon shop window today and absolutely LOVED it, but its £70! so I shall not even go in and try it on despite it being absolutely gorgeous and very very me. Its called the Jacqueline Dress, and the colour is described as red though it looks pretty orange to me.



I am already justifying to myself on a cost-per-wear basis, and imagining outfits where it is teamed up with any of
white, black, brown, pink, purple, navy, turquoise, grey, lime, lighter orange, denim blue, bronze and other metallics etc.

Hi Ruthie! Could you "justify" the dress by considering the price-per-(probable)-wear factour?? ;D

Rhonda I have been doing exactly those sums..... if I wore it once a week from now until next April (approx 30 weeks) it'd be £2.35 per wearing. Would work with brown leather knee boots, brown suede knee boots, brown leather sandals, andy of my multiple brown jackets etc etc.

the draping on that is so nice! it reminds me of styles BWOF does a lot, maybe you could find a similar pattern?

Could you perhaps ask for it as a birthday and christmas gift combined if you love it that much? I really do think its very Ruthie.

Just too expensive for a knit dress!
