Basically, I wanted as little wardrobe decision making as possible... So here it is...the Kitty Pinafore Dress (urm...'Jumper' dress, depending on where you are)... Gosh, now I'm confused... I selected a slate blue gray 100% linen fabric because I wanted a dress I could also sling over jeans and the slate colour looked really nice against denim blue.
