LAWS not just mottos! And a barbed-wire fence

Be prepared immortal words that Scouts and Guides round the world recognise as a good advice in the form of a motto. In 1908 the first Boy Scout troup was founded by Baden-Powell, how fab. I loved Brownies, Guides and Rangers. It was great and it did give me some of my more bizarre skills, I can make an entire kitchen out of bits of tree (wood has been processed), string and if you throw in a bit of tin foil then I can cook up a feast. My specialty is the draining board ;) Seriously though, map reading, camping and all those kind of things. It was great......

Be prepared is the law just like RTFM, it goes beyond a motto, which also holds true for the family one "Invicta" ........

So in best "belt and braces" fashion, which is the ultimate in being prepared for wardrobe malfunction I thought I better wear my jumper or pinafore dress today. I think when worn with the white blouse this has the school girl look to it or is that School Mistress (no getting ideas about the use of a capital M Thank You!). Or as James the Sales Director said "School teacher Jen, every day is a school day, how do you know all this stuff?" Marv stopped asking that question a long time ago, hippos are wise and know we show the way and type super fast because we have tails.  Anyway the whole school thing brings AC/DC to mind. Angus Scott rocks!

You can't go wrong with the combination of the fitted pinafore dress and the puff sleeves and the ribbons. What doesn't this dress do or deliver? Seriously you are covered from below the knee to your neck, but WOW! It is just so girly and cute but at the same time super sexy in the right way. I really do love this dress, you can team it with so many things. 

I don't know why but this dress is just somehow striking and different. Just like me ;) hehe

A dress as Sophia Loren so eloquently said "should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view".
