Today's dress is called Nancy, a name which has several connections for me. When I was little I remember my sister bookcase was full of Nancy Drew Mysteries, they had really exciting but rather scary pictures on the front. They were scooby doo stories for big girls!
Nancy Reagan was the First Lady at this time too, and I remember my Nana thinking it said something about her that she got an act put through senate for funds to hire jewellery when she had an audience with the Queen. You have to give the woman points for attempting to take on the crown jewels! The last connection is of course the phrase "nancy boy" which makes me think of Placebo the band.
I like the simplistic styling of Nancy she is made from a beautiful shiny blue material that cascades over your curves without clinging. The folded back neckline with a subtle V draws your attention to the buttons in a semi circle which act to draw attention to your face. It is nicely fitted over the bust and tapers beautifully into a pencil skirt.
I think this dress is great for the office, shopping with the girls of even a spot of lunch. She's a very versatile dress balancing cute with comfortable.
