“Where are you going in that Beverly Hillbilly dress?”
“Are you going to become a cowboy?”
“Are you going to the Midwest?
“Are you about to ride a horse?”
All questions I’ve had to field from a family member who has about as much style as ball of string but seems to think his non- fashion sense holds sway with me, and fancies himself as a bit of a comedian to boot *side eye*. I’m well impressed with my new Beverly Hillbilly dress thank you very much. I’ve been looking at it on the Asos Curve site for a couple of weeks but didn’t buy it as I felt I might look a little ridiculous in a pinafore as I left primary school a long time ago. After two weeks of doubt I came across this photo on Instagram (@girlsofplenty) which convinced me that it is possible to wear a pinafore as a grown woman and still look like an adult..
I was sold. I teamed it with a Beloved Endeavour shirt (still available, only worn for the photo), Clarks sandals and accessorised with my new handmade brooch by Lolly from Lolly Loves Fatshion.
I can already see that I’m going to be wearing this all summer. It’s comfy, the fabric is sturdy, and if I decide that this is the year to become a cowgirl- I’m ready.
Size 26 dress

I like them!! I also bought some overalls and got asked the same questions..If you don’t take risks what fun will you ever had!! I think you look great!! Next time wear you hair down with a solid tee for a sexy twist 🙂
Thanks!
I’m in a hair rut! I am thinking of going for a tapered natural or just colour. I’m giving myself a couple of weeks to decide so watch this space!
I like it! That dress is great 😀 I like your broach too 🙂 You can’t beat a pinafore 😉
Thanks! I’m definitely a pinafore convert now!
[…] to myself. If that’s even possible* So impressed was I with the form and function of my blue dungaree dress, that I bought a black one too. I’ve had it for about a year but this is my first time […]
