Midi isn't one of my favourite lengths to be honest, I like my skirts short, jeans ankle grazing and nothing in between but when I saw this dress I instantly fell for it. I'm not sure if it was the grey marl jersey material or the casual winter simplicity but I love it. Granted I find it difficult to wear because I never know what jacket to wear. If it was the summer I'd wear a my cropped denim or leather jacket but now it's colder and only winter coats will suffice I'm a bit lost. My Burberry trench works well as it's the same length so not all is lost. I have used my tights and belt to brighten up the look. As much as I love grey I do like to inject a bit of colour when I can.

On a unrelated noted bowdreamnation.blogspot.com has now become bowdreamnation.com which is very exciting. I've been meaning to transition for ages and I this weekend I finally took the plunge. Even though my blog is small in the grand scheme of all things interwebz I do feel proud of what I've created here at Bow Dream Nation and this domain name change thing is a little step further down the line to world domination.. I jest!

Do you do midi x

  2. I love this outfit, it looks like a perfect casual winter outfit. The tights are such a pretty colour!
    I love the look of midi skirts/dresses but I haven't been brave enough to buy one myself yet!

  4. I saw this in Topshop yesterday, it's lovely! I want to give the midi length a go but it's a tricky one for this time of year with coats etc as you say. Looks lovely with the contrasting colours too :)

  9. Love this dress. I usually wear shorter things but feel like I should experiment with different lengths...I've always avoided midi lengths in the past as I'm really short but maybe it'd work if I found something I really love? x
