the pinafore dress

Clockwise from top left: dress: topshop, shoes: topshop, satchel: the cambridge satchel company @ urban outfitters, dress: miss selfridge, shirt: topshop, collar: romwe, ankle socks: cooperative designs @ urban outfitters, dress: dahlia

I can't wait to get my hands on a pinafore dress! Get the classic look by adding a white or cream blouse, brogues and a bowler hat, as seen at Dahlia. To create a fresher look, add a neon satchel, a graphic print shirt, and crochet ankle socks. Swap the blouse for a plain white tee, and add a statement detachable collar to clash with a patterned pinafore.
